  • R&D Collaboration: Work side-by-side with our fabrication team to troubleshoot and optimise designs for "manufacturability" and durability.
  • Technical Documentation: Manage Bills of Materials (BOM) and technical specifications for new and existing product lines.
  • Continuous Improvement: Analyse field performance data to implement design upgrades that reduce downtime and boost efficiency.

Requirements

Do you have experience in SolidWorks?, * Education: Degree in Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.

  • Technical Skill: Proficiency in 3D CAD software (SolidWorks, Solidedge, or similar).
  • Industry Knowledge: A solid understanding of hydraulics, fabrication, and heavy machinery.
  • Mindset: A problem-solver who isn't afraid to get their boots dirty to see how a machine performs in the real world.
