Mechanical Design Engineer – Exciting Opportunity in Product Development

I’m currently partnering with a fast-growing company that specialises in innovative electronic products and looking for a talented Mechanical Design Engineer to join their expanding R&D team.

This is a fantastic chance to work on the full design lifecycle of cutting-edge products, focusing on enclosures, fixtures, and mechanisms made from metal and plastic.

  • Designing enclosures and mechanical components for plastic and metal manufacture
  • Collaborating with cross-functional teams including electronics and production engineers
  • Developing production test fixtures for use locally and internationally
  • Working with suppliers and manufacturers globally
  • Ensuring designs meet specifications, industry standards, and cost targets

What You’ll Need:

  • Proven experience in mechanical design with strong 2D and 3D skills, especially SolidWorks
  • Experience designing products for injection moulding, sheet metal, or similar manufacturing processes
  • A good eye for product styling and design for manufacture (DFM)
  • Commercial awareness and problem-solving skills
  • A team player with a passion for innovation and delivering high-quality products

Nice to Have:

  • Experience designing for Far Eastern manufacturing
  • Knowledge of materials and rapid prototyping techniques
  • Experience with technical drawings and drafting

If you’re an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer looking for a role where your creativity and technical skills will make a real impact, I’d love to hear from you.
