You will also take ownership of configuration management and engineering change control activities, working cross‑functionally to ensure robust documentation, traceability and smooth implementation of design changes across the organisation.
This role combines hands‑on mechanical design with structured change management in a fast‑moving, technology‑driven environment.
Key Responsibilities Design, develop and implement test equipment, fixtures and jigs to support product validation and production testing, while creating detailed CAD models and engineering drawings for fixtures, tooling and assemblies.

Work closely with design, manufacturing, quality and test teams to assess the impact of changes and ensure full compliance. Validate mechanical designs through hand calculations and / or finite element analysis, and liaise with suppliers on design manufacture, tooling, cost, quality and availability. Ensure all designs meet relevant safety, ergonomic, reliability and industry standards, while preparing and maintaining technical documentation, design specifications and test procedures. Provide technical support and engineering expertise to other departments as required.
