Design Engineer

Description:

The position offers an opportunity to apply both analytical and practical engineering skills across the full development lifecycle — from requirements-based design and 3D modelling through to structural analysis, prototype build, and test support. The successful candidate will work as part of a multidisciplinary team, collaborating closely with specialists in controls, electrical, and systems development to deliver robust, high-performance solutions.

This is a hands-on, on-site engineering role ideal for engineers who enjoy solving real-world challenges, developing designs that balance strength, manufacturability, and performance, and seeing their work progress from CAD to physical systems in active test environments.

Responsibilities

Design and Analysis

Design, analyse, and develop mechanical systems involving fluid flow, structural integrity, and thermal management to meet performance, reliability, and manufacturability objectives.

Perform calculations to ensure the structural integrity of components and systems under mechanical and pressure loads.

Conduct fluid system sizing, pressure-drop, and thermal analyses using analytical methods and simplified 1D models.

Execute finite element analyses (FEA) to verify mechanical performance and structural margins in accordance with design codes and standards.

Produce detailed 3D models, technical drawings, and mechanical layouts using CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks, Siemens NX, or Catia), ensuring clarity, manufacturability, and compliance with GD&T principles and design standards.

Component and System Specification

Select and specify mechanical and fluid system components (e.g., pumps, valves, fittings, actuators, seals, and sensors) based on system performance, compatibility, and safety requirements.

Specify materials, manufacturing processes, and tolerances appropriate to system operating conditions and environments.

Ensure all designs comply with relevant codes, standards, and internal quality and safety requirements (e.g., ASME, API, ISO, PED, DSEAR).
