Managing complex end to end design projects, working closely with other disciplines including electronics, mechatronics and physics
Coordinating and contributing to the design of large, complex assemblies optimised for manufacture and assembly, for customers worldwide
Mechanical calculations and FEA simulation of structural/load bearing components, and developing this function within the team
Lead both customer-facing and internal design reviews for components and systems under your responsibility
Client/sales team liaison to identify design requirements
Coordinating and compiling detailed engineering/manufacturing drawings with BOMs
Produce standard operating procedures to detail manufacturing and assembly methods
Produce technical documents, reports and presentations for internal and external use
Providing technical support to Sales, Production and Install teams as required
