£45,000 - £50,000 + Benefits

Are you a Mechanical Design Engineer looking for an opportunity to work on innovative diagnostic technology?

We are working with a rapidly growing technology company developing cutting-edge diagnostic products used within healthcare environments. Due to continued growth and ongoing product development activities, they are seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer to join their Product Development team.

This is not a manufacturing engineering role. Instead, you will focus on the ongoing enhancement of an existing commercial product, supporting design improvements, product performance, reliability and lifecycle management through a structured design control process.

Working within a multidisciplinary R&D team, you will take ownership of design updates and engineering changes, ensuring products continue to evolve and improve following commercial launch.

Key responsibilities include:

• Updating and improving existing product designs using CAD
• Managing engineering changes through formal change control processes
• Conducting physical testing and evaluation activities to support product improvements
• Investigating product issues and supporting root cause analysis activities
• Creating and maintaining engineering documentation, drawings and specifications
• Supporting Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) activities
• Working closely with suppliers and manufacturing partners to resolve technical issues
• Supporting verification and validation activities
• Maintaining product documentation in line with quality and regulatory requirements

We are looking for an engineer with experience working within a regulated industry such as medical devices, diagnostics, aerospace or another highly controlled engineering environment.

You will ideally have:

• Degree qualification in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline
• Commercial experience in product design and development
• Strong CAD skills, ideally using SolidWorks
• Experience managing design changes through formal change control processes
• Knowledge of DFMEA and risk management activities
• Experience carrying out product testing and supporting engineering investigations
• Strong documentation and technical report writing skills
• Experience working within a quality management system

• ISO 13485 or FDA-regulated environments
• Medical device, diagnostics or life science products
• Product verification and validation activities
• Design transfer and supplier management
• Root cause analysis methodologies
• PDM systems and configuration management

Applicants must have the unrestricted right to work in the UK. Unfortunately, sponsorship is not available for this position.
