Senior Engineer, Mechanical & Industrial Design

Senior Engineer, Mechanical & Industrial Design 

If you get real satisfaction from seeing a product go from concept to something people can actually hold, use and manufacture at scale, keep reading. 

We’re looking for a Senior Engineer, Mechanical & Industrial Design to join our Product Development team and help shape the next generation of physical products. This is a role for someone who enjoys the full product journey, from concept and detailed mechanical design through to prototyping, testing and design refinement.  

You’ll work on mechanical systems, components and assemblies, helping define the specifications needed to manufacture high-quality products at scale. It’s also a chance to bring a broader product lens to the work, balancing engineering quality, usability and physical design decisions in a meaningful way.  

What you’ll be doing 

• Designing and developing mechanical components, assemblies and product concepts.  

• Creating mechanical specifications that support reliable manufacturing and assembly.  

• Building, testing and refining prototypes to improve fit, function, performance and usability.  

• Working across engineering, design and project teams to bring ideas into real products.  

• Leading project work and mentoring more junior team members along the way.  

What you’ll bring 

• Strong experience in mechanical product design, ideally with products that have moved from concept through to manufacturable outcomes.  

• Proficiency with 3D CAD software such as SolidWorks, Creo, Siemens NX or equivalent. 

• Strong understanding of mechanical design principles, materials selection, tolerance analysis (GD&T) and Design for Manufacture (DFM/DFA). 

• Experience designing for manufacturing processes including injection moulding, CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication and additive manufacturing. 

• Experience using engineering simulation tools such as ANSYS or SolidWorks Simulation for structural or thermal analysis. 

• Experience producing engineering drawings, BOMs and manufacturing documentation. 

• Familiarity with PDM/PLM systems such as SolidWorks PDM, Teamcenter or Windchill. 

• A hands-on background in prototyping, testing and iterative product development.  

• Good judgment around materials, assemblies, manufacturability and practical design trade-offs.  

• An appreciation for industrial design and user-centred product thinking.  

• A relevant degree and around 8+ years of related experience. 

 If this sounds like the kind of role you’d want to explore, we’d love to hear from you.
