Key responsibilities

• Create detailed 3D models and drawings of mechanical and structural components.
• Collaborate with engineers and researchers to turn material and process requirements into robust designs.
• Iterate designs based on performance, manufacturability and sustainability criteria.
• Integrate physical design principles with mechanical engineering best practices and support design-for-additive-manufacturing guidelines.
• Maintain design libraries and documentation.
• Work with partners to adapt designs for specific industry applications and troubleshoot design-related issues.

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Industrial Design or a related technical field.
• Ability to collaborate in multidisciplinary remote teams, communicate design concepts clearly and document work to professional standards.
• Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail and ability to manage multiple design projects and deadlines.

Required skills

• Strong proficiency in CAD tools and workflows, including detailed 3D modelling and technical drawing.
• Knowledge of physical design and mechanical engineering principles applied to components, assemblies and systems.
• Familiarity with EDA environments and Cadence or similar platforms.
• Understanding of additive manufacturing processes, DfAM and 3D printing materials.
• Experience with simulation or analysis tools such as FEA and CFD is an advantage; exposure to sustainable or low-carbon design is also an advantage.
