Key Responsibilities Collaborate with the mechanical design team to create assemblies for bespoke motion-control simulation systems. Mentor and support junior engineers in detailed design of System Elements. Understand and apply the operating principles and performance parameters of components such as actuators, valves, bearings, and other System Elements. Perform basic stress analysis (including FEA), select suitable materials, and verify safety in operation e.g., assessing cylinder stresses, bolt loadings, and bearing sizing. Use in-house software (ACE 5) to select valves and size snubbers. Take a senior engineering role on project elements, coordinating design activities and deliverables. Continuously improve designs using Solidworks by suggesting cost-saving measures, reducing assembly time, enhancing manufacturability, and improving reliability and performance consistency. Conduct fault-finding and problem-solving activities. Work closely with the supply chain to ensure manufacturability and quality. Design moderately complex System Elements (often adapted from existing designs) and prepare full manufacturing and hydraulic schematic packages for procurement. Contribute to the creation of innovative new System Elements or complete mechanical systems, including layout, installation, ring main, and power pack designs for projects and sales proposals. Apply Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) principles in all designs. Qualifications & Experience HND or degree in mechanical engineering or a related field.
