We’re working with a MedTech company that is looking for a hands-on Contract CAD Design Engineer to support concept through to verification on a live programme.

This isn’t a box-ticking, paperwork-heavy environment. They need someone who can be shielded from bureaucracy and just get on with designing.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Early-stage ideation and concept development
  • 3D modelling and detailed design work
  • Producing robust technical drawings to ASME Y14.5 (GD&T) standards
  • Designing with manufacture in min. Real-world DFM awareness
  • Supporting design verification activities

What they’re looking for:

  • Strong proficiency in NX or SolidWorks or Creo
  • Medical device experience
  • Someone who understands how products are actually made, not just designed on screen
  • Confident working autonomously in a fast-paced environment

This would suit a contractor who enjoys building properly engineered, manufacturable products and wants to spend more time designing than filling in forms.

If you’re open to a Leeds-based contract (4 days onsite) and want more detail, please apply.
