This is a hands‑on engineering role focused on solving complex design challenges across electrified vehicle systems. As Senior Mechanical Design Engineer, you will work across the full product lifecycle, contributing to innovative, production‑ready solutions within a fast‑moving and technically demanding environment.

The Senior Mechanical Design Engineer will:

• Design mechanical components and assemblies for electrified vehicle platforms.
• Create and maintain CAD models, engineering drawings, DFMEAs, and DVP&R documentation.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to ensure designs meet functional and performance requirements.
• Develop designs with consideration for manufacturability, cost, weight, and sustainability.
• Manage multiple workstreams and delivering engineering tasks to agreed project timelines.
• Perform design optimisation and validation activities using CAE tools such as FEA and CFD.

The Senior Mechanical Design Engineer will have:

• A degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
• Experience in mechanical design within automotive or similar engineering sectors.
• Strong proficiency with CAD tools such as SolidWorks, Siemens NX, or equivalent.
• Experience designing structural components including brackets, housings, mounts, or similar parts.
• Exposure to CAE tools (FEA and/or CFD) for design validation and optimisation.
• Strong problem‑solving ability, communication skills, and a collaborative team‑focused mindset.

You'll be involved in solving real engineering problems that directly influence how electrified vehicle systems are designed, built, and delivered into production.
