Researchers at the Crick are undertaking a wide variety of physical, behavioural, and neurological investigations and use bespoke tools and systems that require design, development, and manufacturing to enable their science. The mechanical engineering workshop is key to this provision. The team work directly with scientists developing solutions to the scientific researcher’s needs.
The engineer manages a portfolio of projects from initial request, through scope definition, options analysis, design, development prototyping manufacturing and product refinement. Collecting User Requirements (verbal and written), transforming these into practical solutions, identifying / developing solutions, reviewing buildability and manufacturing techniques and technologies to deliver to science. Maintaining leading edge knowledge to use in the development of these products whether available in house or through specialist providers. Presenting options identifying technical solutions to deliver science outcomes. Producing 2/3D CAD drawing for manufacturing.
This position requires someone with initiative, able to work independently and enjoys the challenge of producing bespoke items such as micro adjusters for imaging equipment, bespoke samplers, and attachments for scientific instruments. Able to translate a verbal/written requirement into an engineering design, creating a product design specification, including engineering drawings (using drawing software-AutoCAD, fusion 360 or similar). Be able to identify and implement the most suitable solution using a procure/modify/manufacture methodology. Experience of working with a range of materials including aluminium, stainless steel, and plastics. Applying machining, joining, and moulding techniques.
Excellent interpersonal and organisational skills are essential. Applicants should have ideally served a Mechanical Engineering Apprenticeship or have proven experience in an engineering workshop environment and possess a recognised qualification in Mechanical Engineering.
Your duties will include:
Using a combination of manual and CNC machines to manufacture bespoke components from a variety of materials to a high standard of accuracy and quality
Construction and modification of apparatus from own designs, drawings, and verbal instructions
Advising clients on matters of mechanical design and construction, bringing concepts to the design stage using technical knowledge and experience to conceptualise and interpret the requirements of clients
To discuss and evaluate the application and performance of specialised engineering equipment.
Support the development/maintenance of operating procedures and risk assessments/method statements for products developed
Produce engineering drawings and 3D models using design and drafting software such as Fusion 360 and AutoCAD. Ensure that components are manufactured and machined within the tolerances specified by the design
Comply with Crick health, safety and sustainability processes and procedures
This role involves significant levels of communication with scientific research and operational staff, as well as STPs and external providers
