Degree Apprentice – Design Engineer
Location:
Glascoed. Note that the Glascoed site is not readily accessible by public transport.
What You’ll Be Doing: As a Design Engineer Apprentice, you’ll be the one who turns ideas for products or processes into designs. Working closely within a multifunctional team, you’ll generate detailed designs using 2D and 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD) systems. You will need to select and define suitable materials, tolerances, processes, and protective finishes, giving consideration to the manufacture and lifecycle items.
The system must ultimately meet both our customer's stringent safety requirements and bring leading-edge performance to give a competitive advantage wherever applied.
Successful applicants will form part of a multi-disciplined Engineering development team involved in the development, design, manufacture, and test of a number of new and legacy munitions products for UK and export customers.
Specific Activities Could Include:
Design of special purpose jigs, tools and gauges suitable for use with explosive items, including the design of pneumatic and hydraulic circuits, interlock systems, and intrinsically safe circuits for process control.
Design of munitions and munition subsystems across a range of natures and calibres.
Generating design schemes, assemblies, and detail drawings from either 3D solid CAD generated models, 2D CAD generated data, or manual techniques.
Selecting and defining suitable materials, processes, and protective finishes required to manufacture and assemble components.
Identifying and applying industry standards as appropriate.
Generating build standard definitions for products and operating configuration control techniques appropriately.
Carrying out Engineering calculations as required to inform and support a proposed design.
Supporting other functions in answering design/manufacturing inquiries.
Gaining experience in placements outside Design Engineering such as production, project engineering, and maintenance.
What Qualification Will You Get? The degree you will study for is a BSc in Mechanical Engineering at The University of South Wales, Treforest on a day-release basis. Apprentices are required to supply their own laptop for university work.
Benefits:
A competitive pension scheme
Employee share plans
An extensive range of flexible discounted health, wellbeing & lifestyle benefits, including a green car scheme, private health plans, and shopping discounts
