The role will entail the design of mechanical components, developing the electric motor for aerospace application and also designing new products.

Responsibilities:

• Develop ideas and design solutions to practical challenges arising from new product design
• Detail and design 3d and 2d CAD models and drawings using best practice geometric tolerances, key characteristics and drawing standards. Working within a drawing control PDM system

• Understand design for assembly and constraints for high volume manufacture
• Perform material selection and mechanical FEA analysis on components and assemblies
• Provide detail input to the team to ensure overall design meets requirements for functionality and manufacture
• Support development of manufacturing processes and novel designs for new technology applications and materials
• Support DFMEAs and complete actions required to mitigate risks
• Support new business opportunities with information and guidance on use, packaging and application of our motors
• Liaise with key suppliers and customers on design and development issues, resolve to the optimal solution and understand the compromises
• Undertake any other duties that may be considered appropriate.

Requirements:

• Degree or equivalent in mechanical engineering with proven experience in a design and development environment
• Strong mechanical or electrical engineering background, but more importantly, be able to apply knowledge to real world situations
• Experienced in the use of SolidWorks CAD software package with the ability to create design concepts and fully dimensioned drawings working to BS8888 with best practice geometric tolerances and key characteristics
• Ability to undertake and interpret mechanical FEA studies and propose solutions / improvements to design issues
• Experience with drawing control systems such as PDM
• Familiarity with FMEAs and robust engineering practices
• Creative problem solving abilities with an analytical approach to implementation
