Key responsibilities include:

Updating and improving existing product designs using CAD

Managing engineering changes through formal change control processes

Conducting physical testing and evaluation activities to support product improvements

Investigating product issues and supporting root cause analysis activities

Creating and maintaining engineering documentation, drawings and specifications

Supporting Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) activities

Working closely with suppliers and manufacturing partners to resolve technical issues

Supporting verification and validation activities

Maintaining product documentation in line with quality and regulatory requirements

About You

We are looking for an engineer with experience working within a regulated industry such as medical devices, diagnostics, aerospace or another highly controlled engineering environment.

You will ideally have:

Degree qualification in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline

Commercial experience in product design and development

Strong CAD skills, ideally using SolidWorks

Experience managing design changes through formal change control processes

Knowledge of DFMEA and risk management activities

Experience carrying out product testing and supporting engineering investigations

Strong documentation and technical report writing skills

ISO 13485 or FDA-regulated environments

Medical device, diagnostics or life science products

Product verification and validation activities

Design transfer and supplier management
