You will enjoy a variety of tasks such as concept generation activities, CAD design, prototype building, experiment design and reliability testing. The role has a focus on the creation and delivery of new product designs to our clients.

At your level of experience, we also be expecting you to be technically leading and mentoring your fellow mechanical engineers and you will also be involved with, and supporting direct interaction with clients through regular external project update meetings.
