Key Responsibilities of a Mechanical Design Engineer

Product Design & Development

• Contribute to the design, development, and testing of mechanical components and assemblies.
• Collaborate with project teams to ensure designs meet customer specifications and regulatory requirements.
• Produce and maintain technical documentation, including specifications, drawings, operation manuals, and build/test procedures.
• Manage components and bills of materials within internal systems.

Product Maintenance

• Refine existing product designs to improve performance, durability, and manufacturability.
• Develop solutions for component and system faults throughout the product lifecycle.
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date technical documentation.

Application Engineering

• Design mechanical solutions tailored to customer needs, ensuring designs meet functional and performance requirements.

Sales, Manufacturing, Commissioning & Customer Support

• Work with the sales team to provide timely responses to customer queries.
• Support technical aspects of proposals, production builds, installations, and commissioning.
• Provide guidance during installations to ensure customer satisfaction.

Professional Development & Collaboration

• Maintain and expand professional and technical knowledge through training, research, and professional networks.
