Senior Mechanical Engineer

Assignment Description

We are seeking a senior, hands-on Mechanical Engineer who combines creative thinking with engineering execution.

Working with technicians and automation engineers, you will build, test and refine prototypes and develop concepts and detailed designs using SolidWorks and 3D printing. Product and manufacturing needs will inform your work on practical mechanical solutions, including new modules and retrofit and upgrade kits.

You will take ownership of development from initial exploration to industrial implementation, turning technical challenges with undefined or loosely specified requirements into feasible concepts and robust mechanical solutions. This includes working from first principles, producing sketches, exploring alternative concepts, assessing feasibility and progressing through detailed design, prototyping, testing and refinement.

Manufacturing, assembly, operation, maintenance, safety and sustainability will inform your designs throughout the machine lifecycle. You will apply structured engineering methods such as concept evaluation, tolerance analysis, design reviews and risk assessment, while challenging existing solutions and actively exploring better approaches to technical problems.

You enjoy working where the answer is not yet defined and combine curiosity and creativity with sound engineering judgement. You move comfortably between workshop discussions, sketches, CAD models and fully engineered machine solutions, understanding both the details and the wider system. You enjoy thinking and making, with a genuine desire to create, experiment, learn and remain involved until ideas become functioning hardware.

Required Qualifications:

• The ability to generate alternative concepts, assess their technical feasibility and develop them into working mechanical solutions.
• A solid foundation in mechanical engineering principles.
• Senior-level experience as a Mechanical Engineer.
• A hands-on approach that combines creative thinking with engineering execution.
