Wellington based - Product Design / Development – Innovative Design for Manufacturing

Based in Wellington, with a highly successful designer and manufacturer of high-quality products for the local and international commercial and residential architectural markets. We are after a skilled Design Engineer to join their dynamic and specialised Product Development team.

With a strong environmental focus, and wanting to do better for the environment, being aware of their products carbon footprint is a high priority. Through innovative and environmental material selection, full product lifecycle analysis (waste and recycling), awareness of energy use in manufacturing (including where manufactured), this company is a leader in this space.

Their product range has various technically challenging issues incorporated within their successful designs; therefore, applicants will need to have a good engineering knowledge base of various materials and have expertise in the design and development of products from a conceptual stage, right through to the project management of research, design, prototyping and  manufacture.

• Hold a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (or similar)
• Have proven engineering design experience with a strong background in product design
• Have a strong understanding of the performance of various materials and how they react during the manufacturing processes, and their implication to the design of the product
• Be proficient with SolidWorks (3D/2D/FEA)
• Plastic tooling experience would be advantageous but not critical
• Have a strong “can do” innovative attitude

Why Apply

Work on human interaction projects, converting art to science, technically challenging and high tech products. A working environment where all staff are able to influence the design.

If you are passionate about product design and development, then this is an excellent opportunity to join a progressive, innovative and award-winning design company. The added benefit is that this role will only further develop your career, as you will be working in a very creative environment.
