- Support prototype development, product trials, testing and design validation, incorporating findings into final designs.
- Check drawings and technical information for accuracy, completeness, tolerances and compliance with specifications.
- Create and maintain bills of materials, production routes and manufacturing data.
- Manage engineering changes and ensure approved revisions are reflected across all affected design and production information.
- Provide practical technical support during manufacture and help resolve design issues.
- Monitor delivery against quality, cost and programme requirements, escalating risks where necessary.
What We’re Looking For
- Experience creating 3D models and detailed 2D drawings using Autodesk Inventor and AutoCAD, or similar software.
- The ability to interpret customer specifications and translate them into practical, manufacturable designs.
- Working knowledge of manufacturing processes such as metal fabrication, machining and assembly.
- Experience in manufacturing, interiors, construction or a related technical design environment.
- A strong approach to drawing accuracy, tolerances, revision control and technical documentation.
- The ability to organise competing priorities and deliver accurate work to agreed deadlines.
- An understanding of cost, value, quality and manufacturing efficiency in design decisions.
Desirable
- Experience using ERP or MRP systems.
- A BTEC Level 3/4, NVQ, ONC, HNC or comparable qualification in Product Design, Mechanical Design or a related discipline, or equivalent industry experience.
