Role Description

We’re looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer to support the design and development of mechanical and plastic components for compact electromechanical systems. This role is ideal for someone with strong 3D CAD skills and manufacturing process awareness.

Roles & Responsibilities

• Part modelling of mechanical and plastic components, trims and sub-assemblies using 3D CAD
• Apply DFM / DFA principles during component and assembly design
• Design components for injection molding, considering: Draft angles, Uniform wall thickness, Rib, boss, and snap-fit features
• Design parts with clear assembly sequence and manufacturability in mind
• Design and detail sealing interfaces including O-rings, gaskets, and part-to-part sealing features
• Perform tolerance analysis and apply GD&T at the component level
• Create and update 3D CAD models based on design iterations and feedback
• Support 3D printing and rapid prototyping for design validation
• Basic stress, deflection, and vibration analysis to support design decisions
• Follow engineering standards, practices, and guidelines

Required Skills

• Strong understanding of mechanical and plastic component design
• Understanding of injection molding processes and design rules
• Understanding of GD&T and tolerancing concepts
• 3D CAD proficiency (SolidWorks preferred; Fusion 360 / Creo or similar)
• Exposure to stress or vibration analysis tools (SolidWorks Simulation / Fusion Simulation or similar)
• Awareness of assembly design and tolerance stack-up
• Good communication skills and ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
