Mechanical Design Engineer Overview

This is a great opportunity for a mechanical design engineer to join a growing medical technology company based in Buckinghamshire. The business have a total of around 300 employees within the group, however this role is working directly with the novel R&D projects side of the business, which is much smaller, with around 25 employees. This will give the safety of a larger group, but with the day to day feel of a smaller, progressive, and technically challenging business.

The mechanical design engineer will be working on highly complex projects, specifically projects relating to small moving & rotating mechanisms. You will need to be degree trained with a creative background in product development and problem solving.

You will be working within a team of multidisciplined engineers, it will be a hands-on mechanical design engineering role focusing on the design and development of new products (as well as updating and upgrading other products) using SolidWorks. The mechanical team consists of 4 engineers..

You will collaborate very closely with computer scientists, software and electronic engineers. It will be helpful if the mechanical design engineer has a background working on electro-mechanical products, with a focus on product quality, small intricate rotating mechanisms, manufacturing process and perhaps some knowledge of lean manufacturing. They are open to looking at graduates with no commercial experience, through to people with 3-5 years of commercial experience.
