Derby
Up to £60,000 + Benefits
- The post will suit a Mechanical Design Engineer or project engineer looking for an opportunity to develop their career within a fast-paced organisation at the cutting edge of engine design and development.
- You will be responsible for the concept design, development and delivery of hydrogen, diesel and some electrical engine and powertrain systems and components from concept to launch.
- Ensuring robust system/component regulations, quality, cost and timing requirements are met.
The Role : Senior Mechanical Design Engineer
- Working within a dynamic engineering team, you will be responsible for the end-to-end Mechanical Design Engineering activities (research, concept, 3D design, delivery and launch) relating to Transmissions, cooling, axels, connections, crank shaft, pistons, full engine systems etc
- You will support in-house quality, manufacturing and service teams in resolving complex technical issues that lead to engineering change
- Create clean sheet concept designs from first principles. Plan and execute Proof-of-Concept assessment either through test campaign, and/or first principle analysis and simulation
- Support product development, ensuring design for assembly and achieving quality in design.
- Create engine system and component specifications and designs based on agreed requirements with key stakeholders.
- Develop engine system and component FMEAs and DVPs, Coordinate and supervise DVP activities (e.g. analytical, simulation, and rig/engine/machine testing)
- Resolve engineering issues using structured problem-solving methodologies (e.g. Global 8D, DMAIC)
- Engage and support suppliers via APQP process; deliver prototypes and PPAP parts to schedule and fulfil quality and performance requirements
About you: Senior Mechanical Design Engineer
- You will have a degree in a mechanical engineering discipline, with a sound understanding of Mechanical Engineering principles
- A sound grasp of engine product development cycle and expertise in engine system and component specification, design, development and sign-off
- If not engines then experience in the design of dynamic, moving/rotating equipment: machinery, transmissions, powertrain, motors, robotics, capital equipment, aeroengines etc.
- Ability to work well under pressure and to meet deadlines with the ability to communicate clearly and concisely at all levels
- Demonstratable proficiency in use of 2D drawing and 3D Modelling packages with knowledge of mechanical engineering GD&T and manufacturing processes. (NX, Creo, Catia, SolidWorks etc)
- Ability to lead projects and mentor/support junior engineers in the team
- Knowledge of engine cooling, thermodynamics, induction systems would be beneficial
The company offers excellent training and development with fantastic benefits including bonus, pension, health and 33 days holiday.
