DEPARTMENT NAME: Mechanical Engineering
JOB DESCRIPTION
A vacancy has arisen for a Mechanical Design Engineer in the Mechanical Engineering department at Denham. The position is responsible for generating design concepts in line with regulatory and customer requirements and the engineering specification, including associated international and military standards as well as company requirements. It also involves the production of commercially viable product definition information (PDI), including 3D models, detail, and assembly engineering drawings.
Effective workload planning, generation of technical calculations and corresponding reports, design reviews, and presentations are also required to support the development of the design. Additionally, collaboration with internal and external customers is necessary to achieve the optimum design through in-depth consultation with all project stakeholders.
Mentoring and training of junior personnel may also be required, depending on skills and experience.
AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY:
Supporting the Integrated Project Team in defining all necessary engineering work required to gain final acceptance on new and existing products.
Supporting the Team Lead in reading, understanding, and translating customer performance-based specifications, related documents, EU directives, associated standards, and other legislative requirements into engineering specifications.
Supporting the Team Lead/Senior Design Engineer in conducting trade studies into potential engineering solutions to determine the best, most commercially sound solution within the given parameters while optimizing manufacturability using 3D CAD.
Performing performance and structural calculations via hand calculations and other software tools such as spreadsheets and finite element analysis to support design development.
Producing top-level design layouts from which detailed parts may be developed.
Calling and chairing design reviews as required.
Producing and maintaining engineering PDI in accordance with engineering procedures.
Consulting extensively with associates and others, with a high degree of reliance on scientific interpretation and advice.
Developing and maintaining cost and mass models for products.
Producing and presenting design review presentations to internal and external customers.
Producing a variety of detailed reports, including CE marking technical files, load and stress reports.
Checking engineering drawings for functionality and correctness, ensuring compliance with Engineering Drawing Best Practices.
Producing quality 3D models suitable for downstream consumption by CAM and CMM (Inspection) software.
Generating a variety of engineering documents, including reports (e.g., Mass Reports, Costed BOMs, DFMEAs, etc.).
Supporting trial installations and participating in customer visits.
Conducting clearance and interchangeability analysis as required.
Preparing retrofit and modifications designs.
Producing, modifying, updating, and revising engineering PDI in accordance with the company’s engineering change procedures.
Identifying opportunities for continual improvement in products and processes.
EDUCATION & QUALIFICATIONS:
Mechanical Engineering Degree accredited by IMechE.
1st or 2.1 Mechanical Engineering Degree is desirable.
SPECIFIC / TECHNICAL SKILLS
Experience in design software, including 3D CAD modeling.
Proficiency in MS Office applications.
Knowledge of finite element techniques.
Experience with the following is beneficial:
NX and Teamcenter
ANSYS, Strand7, NX Nastran, LS Dyna
Multibody dynamics modeling tools such as ADAMS
TK Solver or MathCAD
SAP ERP system
Knowledge of design policies, processes, and procedures
PERSON SPECIFICATION:
* Attention to detail – thorough, accurate, and concerned for all areas involved. A Right First Time approach to design.
* Drive to achieve results – sets own standards, checks own work, and demonstrates a positive approach.
* Judgement and decision-making – evaluates key decision-making criteria.
* Planning and organizing work.
* Analysis and problem-solving – sees basic relationships and reacts positively.
* Collaboration – actively contributes to achieving organizational objectives.
* Professional/technical expertise – uses technical and professional knowledge, skills, and judgment effectively.
* Initiative – acts on various methods and strategies for solving problems and meeting objectives before being asked or required to do so.
* Innovation – uses original thought to propose meaningful innovative changes.
* Good verbal and written communication skills.
KNOWLEDGE & EXPERIENCE:
Managing design projects under tight time and quality constraints.
Experience with the full design process, ideally gained from designing machines or test equipment, which involved gaining CE certification.
Knowledge of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, layout of engineering drawings in relation to US/UK standards.
Product costing and analysis.
Understanding of modern manufacturing methods and processes.
Creation and delivery of presentation work.
Experience in the following areas is beneficial:
Knowledge of US MIL STD / UK Def. Stan.
Patents demonstrating a track record of innovative designs.
Knowledge and application of Aerospace / Defence or similar design.
Awareness of electrical and pneumatic devices, able to select suitable gearboxes, motors, switches, and valves, etc.
Gaining product CE certification.
For all successful candidates, the company will undertake background security checks. As part of this process, we will need to confirm your identity, employment history, and address history to cover the past five years, as well as your nationality, immigration status, and criminal record.
