Mechanical Design Engineer

Mechanical Design Engineer focuses on leading the design and development of mechanical systems for mobile machinery from concept to production.

What the role involves

• Leading the design and development of mechanical systems for mobile machinery from concept to production.
• Create 3D models and detailed engineering drawings using PTC Creo.
• Conduct FEA, stress analysis and simulation‑driven design to validate structural integrity.
• Collaborate with electrical, controls, manufacturing and quality teams to deliver fully integrated systems.
• Ensure manufacturability, cost‑effectiveness and adherence to defence‑sector engineering standards.
• Supporting prototype builds, testing, validation and troubleshooting of design and field issues.

Skills and requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or related discipline.
• Master’s degree or postgraduate study in mechanical design, structural engineering or materials engineering (desirable).
• Typically, 5+ years of mechanical design experience in mobile machinery, heavy equipment, defence systems or similar regulated industries.
• Proven experience delivering mechanical systems from concept through production, including prototyping and validation.

Candidate fit

• technical judgement, safe working habits, careful diagnostics, and practical problem-solving
