Our client would particularly like to hear from people who have experience with: * Mechanical Engineering, Product Design or Mechatronics qualifications, or equivalent industry experience. * Advanced CAD design, particularly using SolidWorks and 3DEXPERIENCE. * Designing products that combine mechanical, electrical and electronic components. * Manufacturing, production engineering, procurement or supply chain processes. * Taking products from prototype through to production. * Working within innovative engineering businesses, scale-ups or technology companies. Experience in any of the following would be an added bonus, but isn't essential: * Computer vision hardware, LiDAR, GPS or advanced sensor integration. * Industrial or consumer product development. * PCB design tools such as Altium, KiCad or Eagle. * Team leadership or mentoring. * Using AI-powered engineering tools or automation to improve engineering workflows. If you don't tick every box but have relevant experience and enjoy solving complex engineering challenges, we'd still love to hear from you. ## Description This is far more than a traditional mechanical design role. You'll have the opportunity to: * Take ownership of new product development, leading mechanical design from initial concept through to production. * Design innovative hardware featuring complex mechanical assemblies and precision engineering. * Work closely with multidisciplinary engineers to integrate electronics, sensors and intelligent technologies into robust products. * Influence how products are manufactured by helping scale production from prototype builds to higher-volume manufacturing. * Build and improve operational processes including Bill of Materials management, procurement and production workflows. * Lead product compliance activities for international markets including CE, UKCA and FCC certification. * Carry out mechanical validation, testing and thermal simulations to ensure products perform in demanding environments. * Mentor and support fellow engineers while helping shape the future direction of the engineering team. * Get hands-on building prototypes and supporting testing when required. * Play a key role in a business where your decisions have visible impact from day one. ## Related Videos - [How to develop an autonomous car end-to-end: Robotic Drive and the mobility revolution](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/22-how-to-develop-an-autonomous-car-end-to-end-robotic-drive-and-the-mobility-revolution) - [ Secure Code Superstars: Empowering Developers and Surpassing Security Challenges Together](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/422-secure-code-superstars-empowering-developers-and-surpassing-security-challenges-together) - [More efficient software for more efficient microchips](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1164-more-efficient-software-for-more-efficient-microchips) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [Old tools, new tricks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1916-old-tools-new-tricks) - [Breaking the Hardware Mindset: Overcoming Barriers to System-Level Innovation](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1635-breaking-the-hardware-mindset-overcoming-barriers-to-system-level-innovation) ## Related Articles - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Software Engineer Salary London](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/252-software-engineer-salary-london) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers) - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [Software Engineer Salary in The UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/231-software-engineer-salary-in-the-uk)
