Senior Mechanical Design Engineer £40–80k Base Benefits South East | Ref: ABJ7599 Join a leading R&D team as a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer , applying your expertise in mechanical design, industrial design, and design for manufacturing (DFM) to develop innovative, high-performance solutions. You’ll be responsible for producing complete manufacturing packages for mechanical System Elements — including general assembly drawings (GAs), detailed manufacturing drawings, and bills of materials (BoMs) — to meet customer testing specifications. You will report to the Mechanical Design Manager. 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 delive...
