Mechanical Design Engineer

Role: Mechanical Design Engineer

Location: Buckingham

Salary: £35,000 to £40,000 basic + benefits

Right to Work: Must have the right to work in the UK. No sponsorship available

Verso is partnering with a highly respected engineering company that designs and builds bespoke robotic systems. Order books are strong, the work is genuinely one-of-a-kind, and they're entering a real growth phase, which is why they're looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer to help drive the design and development of their platforms.

You'll be supported by their highly experienced design team and will work on bespoke projects from concept to completion: scoping requirements with clients, designing the mechanical systems in SolidWorks, then supporting the build, assembly, and testing through to on-site commissioning.

What you'll be doing

• Designing mechanical systems and components in SolidWorks
• Producing engineering and assembly drawings, plus instruction documentation for delivered systems
• Working with clients to translate bespoke requirements into buildable designs
• Helping maintain project plans and keeping delivery on track
• Working alongside software engineers and workshop technicians to integrate software with your hardware and keep builds true to your drawings

What we're looking for

• Solid mechanical design experience, ideally with exposure to robotics or motion/actuation systems, or Scientific Instrumentation
• SolidWorks experience preferred, but experience with any mainstream 3D CAD software would be fine.
• Confident, practical hands-on engineering ability - comfortable with hand tools and complex assembly
• Good communicator who enjoys collaborating and sharing knowledge with production staff
• A degree in Mechanical Engineering or similar is preferred, but strong relevant experience counts for just as much if you do not have a degree.

Nice to have, but NOT essential: knowledge of electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic systems, surfacing, additive manufacturing experience or an understanding of software and electronics integration for complex motion systems.

On offer £35k–£40k DOE, overtime, on-site canteen, free parking and a relaxed, casual-dress working environment - Monday to Friday at their Buckingham HQ.

Important: You'll need the right to work in the UK.
