Mechanical Design Engineer
Job Type : Contract, Full Time
Salary : £28.50/hour
MECHANICAL DESIGN ENGINEER
Our world-leading client is looking for a Design Engineer, inside IR35. The initial assignment duration is 6 months with the possibility of extension.
This is a hybrid role, meaning you will be expected to work on site at Milton Keynes one day per week and will be working from home the rest of the time.
* 6 months, possibly longer
* £28.50 per hour (this role is inside IR35)
Mechanical Design Engineer Candidate Requirements
* Creo CAD modelling (solid/surface) & design in context expertise essential, with an understanding of fundamental mechanical design.
* Must be driven, a self-starter.
* Degree in relevant engineering discipline with a minimum 2-years relevant experience is required.
* Experience with plastic injection moulding / casting / fabrication design is highly desirable.
* Understanding of fundamental mechanical design (DFM, DFA, static/dynamic loading, structural mechanics).
* Expertise in selection of mechanical components, suitable materials & joining technologies to meet system requirements.
* Experience following product development cycles & delivery of mechanical designs for key design gateways.
* Ability to apply fundamental engineering principles from concept through to detail design.
* Understanding of Geometric dimensioning & tolerancing leading to robust DFM & location strategies that aligns with Lean Manufacturing principles.
Mechanical Design Engineer Key Responsibilities (but not limited to)
* This person will be responsible to deliver the design of components within the Mounting Systems commodity group for a commercial battery application.
* Ensure a robust design and compatibility with other sub-systems and components (concept, design, quality, selection of right material and components and design for manufacturing).
* Responsible for the specification, design & drawings of mechanical elements of their components.
* The role will require an understanding of physical, informational, electrical & material interactions between components.
* Deliver component requirements & meet quantitative targets (weight, cost, size) while ensuring a robust design that is right first time.
* Ensure DFMEA, Engineering Specifications, Standards, Design Rules & Guidelines, Requirements, Statement of Work process/documents are effectively implemented in the design condition at the appropriate design maturity gateways.
* Meet commodity timing plans to ensure the design team is able to deliver to critical program milestones.
* Identify key mechanical failure modes & validation workstreams in order to capture these.
* Lead issue resolution for mechanical component failures throughout validation.
* Support Lead Engineers & Commodity owners with suppliers reviews through design phases, procurement of prototypes and production tooling development system multi-physics FEA models beneficial (static & dynamic).
