  • 3–7+ years' experience in a mechanical engineering role, ideally in automotive or outdoor products.
  • Strong background in load carrying mechanical systems and NPD processes.
  • Proficiency in SolidWorks (surface and part modelling).
  • Experience with analysis techniques such as FEA (Ansys Mechanical)
  • Understanding and experience of part design using various processes such as Sheet metal forming, plastic injection moulding, extrusions, metal stamping and casting.
  • Excellent problem-solving, time management and collaboration skills.
