• Ensuring designs meet technical, safety, compliance, and regulatory requirements
• Driving best practice in mechanical design (including manufacturability, cost, assembly, and maintainability)
• Supporting progression of projects through key milestones into production
• Acting as a role model for junior engineers, supporting development and training
• Promoting engineering consistency, quality, and continuous improvement

What We're Looking For

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering (BEng essential, MEng desirable or equivalent experience)
• Strong knowledge of mechanical engineering principles and best practice
• Experience using 2D and 3D CAD tools
• Understanding of Design for Manufacture / Assembly / Cost / Maintainability principles
• Experience working in a relevant engineering or manufacturing environment
• Ability to interpret technical requirements and develop robust design solutions
• Strong focus on delivery to project milestones and deadlines
• Willingness to continue professional development and progress towards chartership (desirable)

What's in It for You

• Salary up to £53,000
• Hybrid working model (office in Bristol remote flexibility)
• Opportunity to work on advanced, high-tech engineering projects
• Career development and structured learning opportunities
• Collaborative and supportive engineering culture
