Title: Senior Mechanical Design Engineer
Location: Dundee, UK
Contract: Long-term, multi-year project
Position Summary An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to join a high-performance team working on innovative electro-mechanical devices. This role will involve both the development of new products and ongoing support for existing systems, providing a challenging yet rewarding environment. The successful candidate will play a key role in designing and optimising mechanisms that form the heart of complex systems used in self-service and automated solutions.
You will work closely with cross-functional teams including operations, suppliers, and customer service to ensure high-quality, cost-effective designs that meet rigorous industry standards. If you have a strong background in mechanical design, with experience working on systems that combine mechanical and software controls, this could be the perfect role for you.
Key Responsibilities - Design and support new products and lifecycle updates for existing mechanical systems.
- Develop and optimise mechanical designs, ensuring alignment with project requirements and manufacturing capabilities.
- Lead and support design validation, including stress analysis, tolerance checks, and testing.
- Collaborate with engineering teams to ensure the integration of mechanical and software components.
- Ensure design changes are thoroughly documented and approved through the required systems.
- Maintain a high standard of communication with internal teams and suppliers to ensure timely project delivery.
- Conduct design reviews and problem-solving sessions to ensure product reliability and performance.
- Occasionally travel globally to customer sites for support or analysis as required.
Qualifications & Skills - Degree in Mechanical Engineering (2:1 or higher preferred).
- 5+ years of experience designing and supporting complex electro-mechanical systems.
- Expertise in high-speed, automated mechanical systems, including document handling and transportation mechanisms.
- Strong experience with CAD software (ProE/Creo, Solidworks, or similar).
- Ability to analyse designs using stress analysis, tolerance checks, and simulations.
- Proficient in designing mechanisms and working with materials such as plastics, sheet metal, and composites.
- Experience in rapid prototyping technologies and working with suppliers to implement design changes.
- Strong problem-solving abilities with a focus on cost-effective design solutions.
- Ability to work independently while managing multiple projects simultaneously.
- Willingness to travel globally to support product development.
