Senior Mechanical Design Engineer–JOBCODE–2d6183

You will be responsible for designing, implementing and testing structures and mechanisms for solving the problems that face the autonomous mobility team. Our design processes involve rapid prototyping to generate as much feedback as quickly as possible. Once we like an idea, we engineer these concepts following industry best practice. The team is responsible primarily for the mechanical design of specific mechanisms. To achieve this we work collaboratively with a number of suppliers and partners.
What we are looking for
We are looking to hire someone who has experience in the automotive industry (or a regulated industry), and is looking for the next challenge. We are interested in people with mechanical design experience, using a CAD platform like Solidworks or Onshape.
As we develop our concepts into rapid prototypes, we’d expect you to have some knowledge of rapid prototyping techniques like 3D printing, laser cutting and general machining.
We are keen that candidates are able to show the ability to produce prototypes, but also have some experience at other stages of the product life cycle.
We expect some specific knowledge about designing parts production manufacturing. This could be injection moulded parts, sheet metal design or similar.
We’d like to hear about what best practice techniques you have used, whether this is a DFMEA (Design failure mode and effect analysis), supplier management or quality standard compliance.
You should be able to demonstrate clear communication techniques to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Lastly, we are interested in people that have experience in developing clear and useful documentation for their designs. They can describe good documentation for how the designs work and why they were chosen, what the specification might be and how they can be tested to ensure they operate as they are designed.
