Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

As a result of growing demands for the companies award winning advanced powertrain systems globally, We are looking for a number of Design Engineers and Senior Design Engineers to work on designs for ICE and Hydrogen Powertrain applicaitons. This will be your opportunity to be part of the cleaner, more efficent propulsion revolution for the off-highway industry. About your role You will be responsible for the design of engine components across the full range of new and existing engines including ICE and Hydrogen from product brief to detailed design. You will need to work with the internal customers to understand the product brief, produce concept designs, review and assess them, produce fully detailed designs, undertake calculations and basic analysis as required and document your work. Responsibilities: Design and Release * Create detailed 3D models in CAD using best practice modelling techniques. * Create detailed 2D drawings to ISO standards, using appropriate dimensioning and tolerance schemes. * Work in context of the engine system to propose novel solutions to the challenges faced in design. * Ensure part manufacturing method and controls are clear on the drawing. * Conduct engineering calculations and basic analysis to ensure the component design requirements are met. * Feed into the DFMEA for the system and component, including completing the design actions from this review. * Work with other functions, manufacturing, purchasing, service, quality to gather their requirements and develop the design to meet their requirements. * Work with internal customers to integrate designs into the final product. Research and Development * Keep on track of the state-of-the-art technical development of engines and components. * Understand the effectiveness and importance of relevant benchmarking. * Create clean sheet concept designs from first principles. Requirements: * Have a degree in an associated mechanical engineering discipline, with a sound understanding of Mechanical Engineering principles (showing an attention to detail, and being data driven). * Have previous experience in engine component design and processes, component tolerancing (GD&T etc). * Demonstrate use of CAE tools and 1D tools to inform design decisions. * Familiar with a range of manufacturing techniques employed in the automotive environment. * Experience with Siemens NX and Teamcenter preferred, similar CAD packages considered, internal training available. About you * Be open and enthusiastic to develop yourself in a fast-paced high performing team, with a passion for designing the next level of technology. * Experience of engine component design in NX or similar, using CAE tools to inform design direction. * Clear understanding of ICE operating principles (e.g. mechanical/electromechanical design and thermodynamics). * Experience in use of data management systems such as Siemens TeamCenter or similar. * Sound knowledge automotive manufacturing methods and with implications on design Job Type: Permanent. Salary: £40000 - £60000/annum 33 days annual leave + flexi-hours.
