Mechanical Design Engineer Overview

This is a great opportunity for a mid to senior level mechanical design engineer to join a growing medical technology company based in Buckinghamshire. The business have a total of around 300 employees within the group, however this role is working directly with the novel R&D projects side of the business, which is much smaller, with around 25 employees. This will give the safety of a larger group, but with the day to day feel of a smaller, progressive, and technically challenging business.

The mechanical design engineer will be working on highly complex projects, specifically projects often with a focus on surgical robotic systems. You will need to have a strong educational background, ideally a 1st class degree from a top UK university.

You will be working within a team of multidisciplined engineers, it will be a hands-on mechanical design engineer role focusing on the design and development of new products using SolidWorks. You will collaborate very closely with computer scientists, software and electronic engineers. It will be helpful if the mechanical design engineer has a background working on electro-mechanical products, with a focus on product quality, manufacturing process and perhaps some knowledge of lean manufacturing.
