Mechanical Design Engineer
Core
Design and deliver robust mechanical integration solutions for compute and sensors on real-world vehicles, taking ideas from concept through prototype to manufacture.
Role type
Mechanical Design Engineer (Automotive Integration)
Builds
Mechanical integration solutions for sensors and compute across vehicle platforms, including test rigs, jigs, and fixtures.
Domain
Automotive / Mechanical Engineering
Deliverable
production ML models | product features
Required skills
Mechanical design fundamentals, SolidWorks (master model development, multi-part assemblies), GD&T, BOM management, 2D drawing creation, manufacturing process knowledge (sheet metal, machining, vacuum casting, 3D printing), test rig/jig/fixture design, FMEA/DFMEA risk assessment.
Preferred skills
Surface modelling, aluminium extrusion-based builds, electronic systems understanding (voltage basics, harness development, compute selection), FDM printing experience.
Technologies
