Mechanical Designer
Role Description
We are seeking a technically skilled, creative, and detail-oriented Mechanical Designer to support the design and development of mechanical components, systems, assemblies, and equipment. The role involves translating engineering requirements and concepts into accurate technical drawings, 3D models, and design documentation while ensuring solutions meet functional, technical, manufacturing, and safety requirements.
Key responsibilities include developing mechanical designs, preparing detailed drawings, creating 3D models, assemblies, layouts, and technical specifications. You will review design requirements, select appropriate materials and components, perform basic design calculations, and make design adjustments based on engineering requirements, testing results, and production considerations.
The role also involves collaborating with mechanical engineers, manufacturing teams, suppliers, contractors, and other stakeholders to ensure designs are practical and suitable for production or installation. You will assist with prototype development, design validation, drawing reviews, revisions, and troubleshooting of mechanical design issues.
You will maintain accurate design records, manage technical documentation, ensure drawing standards are followed, and support continuous improvement of products and mechanical systems. The position also requires keeping up with relevant engineering standards, manufacturing methods, materials, CAD technologies, and industry developments.
