Some engineering roles focus on a small part of the process. This isn’t one of them.
We’re looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer to join a specialist engineering business developing innovative thermal management systems.
Working as part of a small, highly skilled team, you’ll take ownership of projects from initial concept through to prototyping, testing and final delivery.
If you enjoy solving complex engineering challenges, turning ideas into practical solutions and seeing the direct impact of your work, this could be the opportunity you’ve been looking for.
This is a role where your ideas will be heard, your decisions will matter, and your contribution will be visible. You’ll have the freedom to take ownership, work directly with clients and suppliers, and help shape innovative products from day one.
What’s on Offer?
- Salary £35,000-£45,000 – we’re looking for 3+ years experience for this role.
- Genuine ownership of projects from concept to delivery
- Exposure to the full engineering lifecycle
- Direct collaboration with experienced engineers and customers
- Varied and technically challenging work
- A supportive environment that values curiosity, initiative and continuous learning
- The opportunity to make a real impact within a growing business
The Role
Working closely with the Head of Engineering, responsibilities will include:
- Translating broad customer or project briefs into clear engineering requirements
- Producing detailed 3D CAD designs, engineering drawings and technical documentation
- Applying design-for-manufacture principles to develop practical, buildable solutions
- Managing bills of materials, engineering changes and part releases
- Planning and supporting prototype builds using a range of manufacturing methods
- Designing and conducting test programmes, analysing results and implementing improvements
- Identifying root causes of technical issues and driving continuous product development
- Managing projects from concept through to delivery, proactively communicating progress and risks
- Liaising with suppliers, manufacturers, testing facilities and customers
- Presenting technical information, design reviews and project updates to stakeholders
About You
We’re interested in engineers who enjoy tackling challenging problems and working independently to find practical solutions.
You’ll have:
- A degree in Mechanical Engineering, Design Engineering or a related discipline
- Experience using 3D CAD software such as SolidWorks, Onshape or similar
- 3+ years experience post graduation and a strong understanding of mechanical design principles and engineering fundamentals
- Hands-on experience of prototyping, product development and testing
- Knowledge of engineering drawings, documentation and design standards
- Excellent problem-solving skills and a methodical approach to engineering challenges
- The confidence to work from broad briefs and make informed engineering decisions
- Strong communication skills, both written and verbal
- A proactive mindset and genuine desire to learn and develop
Experience within thermal management, heat exchangers, HVAC, electronics cooling, FEA, CFD or bespoke product development environments would be advantageous, but is not essential.
