· Design and develop mechanical components, assemblies, and product systems in SolidWorks, taking concepts through to detailed, manufacturable designs.
· Own scoped design work end to end - concept, CAD, drawings, prototyping, testing, and release to manufacturing.
· Apply engineering first principles (statics, mechanics of materials, tolerancing, and material selection) to make sound, justifiable design decisions.
· Build and test physical prototypes, capturing and analysing results to drive design iterations.
· Design for manufacture and assembly (DFM/DFA), working closely with the manufacturing team to keep designs practical and cost-effective to produce.
· Prepare clear engineering documentation, drawings, GD&T, calculation packs, and technical reports, to a checkable standard.
· Research materials, components, standards, and manufacturing methods to inform and de-risk designs.
· Collaborate across design, structural, and manufacturing teams to carry engineering intent through to production, and contribute ideas that improve the product and the process.
