Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

Are you a seasoned Mechanical Design Engineer ready to take ownership of high-precision, complex products from concept all the way to manufacture? Join a leading engineering and manufacturing business shaping innovative electromechanical systems used across the globe.

About the Role

As a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer, you’ll be at the heart of developing advanced mechanical assemblies — from moving mechanisms and motors to sensors, enclosures, precision components, and thermal management systems. This is a hands-on, end-to-end design role, collaborating closely with production, electronics, testing, and manufacturing teams to deliver robust, manufacturable, and world-class products.

What You’ll Do as a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

• Lead mechanical design projects across the full product lifecycle — concept, feasibility, detailed design, prototyping, testing, and production release.

• Design complex precision mechanisms, electromechanical assemblies, drive systems, and sensor-integrated components.

• Develop cases, housings, frames, and thermal solutions for reliability and performance.

• Apply Design for Manufacture (DfM) and Design for Assembly (DfA) principles to optimise efficiency.

• Support build, test, validation, and production troubleshooting, ensuring products meet quality and regulatory standards.

• Create detailed CAD models, drawings, BOMs, and documentation for prototypes and production.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with electronics, software, quality, and operations teams.

About You as a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer 

• Strong mechanical design experience within engineered product environments (electromechanical, automation, robotics, instrumentation, or similar).

• Proven ability designing systems with motors, actuators, sensors, mechanisms, and thermal management.

• Confident working with precision components, tight tolerances, and complex assemblies.

• Highly skilled in 3D CAD (any major platform).

• Excellent problem-solving, creativity, and engineering rigour.

• Thrives in a fast-paced environment, taking products from concept to manufacture.

Why This Role?

• Work on technically challenging, meaningful projects that make a real impact.

• Join a collaborative, forward-thinking team where your ideas and innovation matter.

• Enjoy genuine opportunities for progression and professional development.
