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.

The Role

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
About You

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
Desirable Experience
  • 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
