Mechanical Design Engineer

1. Mechanical Design & Development

• Design mechanical systems, modules, and assemblies for automation equipment using 3D CAD.
• Prepare 2D drawings, tolerances, GD&T, and BOMs in accordance with internal standards.
• Perform basic engineering calculations (loads, stiffness, thermal, motion, etc.) to validate designs.

2. Product & System Integration

• Work closely with Electrical, Software, and Product Engineers to ensure mechanical designs support system integration and performance.
• Support integration of actuators, motion systems, vision components, fluidics, and dispensing modules.
• Ensure mechanical designs support serviceability, safety, and usability.

3. DFM / DFA & Manufacturing Support

• Apply DFM/DFA principles during design to ensure efficient manufacturing and assembly.
• Support prototype builds, pilot runs, and transition to manufacturing.
• Resolve manufacturing and assembly issues through design improvements and ECNs.

4. Supplier & Component Management

• Select standard and custom mechanical components (e.g. linear guides, motors, bearings, fasteners, profiles).
• Work with suppliers on custom parts, tolerances, and manufacturability.
• Support cost optimisation through component standardisation and design simplification.

5. Verification, Testing & Improvement

• Support design verification and validation through testing, measurements, and analysis.
• Participate in failure analysis and root cause investigations related to mechanical issues.
• Drive design improvements based on field feedback, reliability data, and CI initiatives.

6. Documentation, Quality & IMS

• Maintain accurate and complete design documentation and revision control.
• Ensure designs comply with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and applicable safety standards.
• Support internal and external audits related to design and engineering controls.
