You will also have:

· Minimum 5 years' experience using 3D CAD in a production environment

· Strong communication skills (written and verbal)

· A collaborative approach and ability to work effectively in a team

· Good working knowledge of Microsoft 365

  • Strong analytical skills, including hand calculations

Desirable Skills

· SolidWorks (including simulation)

· ANSYS Maxwell or similar simulation tools

· Experience with FEA/CFD software

· Knowledge of international design/testing standards

· Basic coding or automation skills (macros, microcontrollers, etc.)

· Practical machining experience

Benefits & conditions

· Opportunity to work on global projects with international travel

· A visible role within a growing business where your contributions matter

· Clear career progression within a larger group structure
