With strong R&D capabilities, Australian-based engineering and manufacturing, a dedication to uncompromising quality and solution-oriented design, we are committed to developing high-performance products for demanding real-world applications.

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer to join our multidisciplinary R&D team.

This is a hands-on engineering role covering new product development, existing product support and improvement, product integration, special customer projects, and the design of equipment and tooling to support manufacturing and testing.

Our in-house prototyping and testing capabilities allow engineers to take an active role in evaluating and improving their designs.

Key responsibilities

• Contribute to new product development and product integration, and support the continuous improvement of existing products.
• Design products with consideration for applicable standards, safety, certification requirements, manufacturability, quality and cost.
• Take designs from concept through engineering analysis, prototyping, testing, risk assessment and production implementation.
• Develop and review engineering drawings and technical documentation to clearly communicate manufacturing and assembly requirements.
• Design jigs, fixtures and tooling to support product development, manufacturing and testing.
• Use Siemens NX for mechanical design, modelling and engineering documentation.
• Investigate product and manufacturing issues, take ownership of the engineering response and drive practical solutions through to resolution.
• Research and evaluate new technologies, materials and manufacturing methods.
• Participate in design reviews and product validation activities.
• Work collaboratively across R&D, Production, Tooling and other teams to support successful project delivery and quality outcomes.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent.
• 5+ years of relevant mechanical design and product development experience.
• Strong practical engineering and problem-solving skills, with experience taking designs from concept through to production.
• Proficiency in Siemens NX is preferred. Candidates without NX experience must be able to learn and adopt it quickly, as Siemens NX is our primary mechanical design platform.
• Experience with engineering analysis, simulation and modelling.
• Understanding of applicable product standards, compliance and certification requirements.
• Experience working with a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) environment.
• Ability to work independently and effectively within a multidisciplinary engineering environment.

If you love what you do, take pride in your work and believe that every engineering challenge deserves to be understood and solved properly, we would like to hear from you.

Please submit your resume, cover letter and any relevant supporting documentation via SEEK.

Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted to continue the interview process.
