An established engineering business is looking for a Junior Design Engineer to join its team. This opportunity would suit an engineering graduate with around 1-3 years’ relevant experience, including placement experience.

Mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, electronics, mechatronics and related backgrounds will all be considered. The role will be shaped around your technical strengths and experience.

The Role

*

Support engineering design projects from initial concepts through development and manufacture

*

Produce technical drawings, models, schematics and supporting documentation relevant to your discipline

*

For mechanical projects, use 3D CAD software such as SolidWorks, Inventor, Creo or equivalent

*

Assist with prototyping, testing and design improvements

*

Work with engineering and production colleagues to resolve technical issues

*

Develop practical designs with consideration for manufacture and assembly

Requirements

*

Engineering graduate or equivalent qualification in a relevant technical discipline

*

Ideally 1-3 years’ engineering experience, including relevant placements

*

Experience in mechanical design, electrical design or electronics development

*

For mechanical applicants, experience using 3D CAD software such as SolidWorks, Inventor, Creo or equivalent

*

Good problem-solving skills, attention to detail and a practical approach

Your Background

You may be a graduate engineer looking for your next step, or a junior engineer seeking broader design experience.

For mechanical candidates, university, placement or commercial projects using 3D CAD packages such as SolidWorks, Inventor or Creo would be relevant. Electrical and electronics candidates are equally encouraged to apply with experience in their own design tools.

You do not need experience across all disciplines.

Applicants from across the UK are welcomed, provided you are willing to relocate to Somerset.
