- Translate product and system-level requirements into component specifications, design inputs, interfaces,



acceptance criteria and technical documentation.
- Produce and review engineering designs, calculations and technical analyses.
- Consider materials, manufacturing processes, tolerances, assembly requirements, serviceability, cost and product lifecycle requirements in design decisions.
- Plan and support analytical and physical design verification and validation activities.
- Define test requirements, review test results, prepare technical reports and resolve design issues.
- Support component procurement through technical documentation, supplier engagement and review of inspection and test data.
- Conduct root-cause analysis, investigate non-conformances and develop corrective actions.
- Work collaboratively with engineering, manufacturing, quality and supply chain stakeholders.

Qualifications:

- Degree qualification in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
- 3+ years' experience across product design, development, component engineering and/or project engineering environments.
- Strong mechanical design and development experience involving components, assemblies and sub-systems.
- Competent in GD&T;, tolerance analysis and fit assessment.
- Sound understanding of engineering materials,



manufacturing processes, surface treatments and component selection.
- Experience with structured engineering problem-solving methodologies such as 8D or 7-Step Problem Solving.
- Experience in design verification and validation, including test planning, test methods and results analysis.
- Strong root-cause analysis, non-conformance investigation and corrective-action skills.
- Robust analytical and problem-solving capability with the ability to work through complex technical issues in a structured manner.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical information to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Experience within aerospace, defence, automotive, advanced manufacturing or other highly regulated engineering environments will be highly regarded.

Perks and Benefits:

- Opportunity to work on advanced aerospace technologies.
