• You will work closely with cross-functional teams, suppliers, and customers to deliver high-quality solutions and support product development initiatives.
• Your key responsibilities will include:

• Applying core principles of mechanical and electrical engineering to support the design and analysis of electric motors, including both induction and permanent magnet types.
• Developing and applying an in-depth understanding of motor theory, drive techniques, and Eco-Design regulations relevant to modern industrial applications.
• Supporting the selection and integration of motors for use in Hazardous Area environments (e.g., ATEX or IECEx), including performing relevant design validations and risk assessments.
• Conducting engineering calculations and performance analyses using tools such as Excel, MATLAB, or similar, to evaluate thermal, mechanical, and electrical performance.
• Creating detailed 3D CAD models and 2D engineering drawings using industry-standard software (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD), ensuring alignment with international standards and internal quality processes.
• Collaborating with Sales, Engineering, and Manufacturing teams to support product customisation, modification orders, and technical enquiries.
• Generating and maintaining accurate documentation, including datasheets, outline drawings, test certificates, and compliance documents.
• Working with suppliers to produce technical specifications, review design proposals, and support failure investigations and continuous improvement efforts.
• Providing engineering support to customers during project definition, installation, commissioning, and post-sales support phases.
• Assisting in the management of product lifecycle, including BOM creation, change control, and product improvement initiatives.

What We’re Looking For

• A degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related discipline.
• Solid understanding of core mechanical principles, materials, manufacturing processes, and thermodynamics.
• Experience with AC Motors (ideally 2+ years).
• Proficiency in CAD design (3D and 2D), with an ability to produce clear and accurate engineering drawings.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work both independently and in a collaborative team environment.
• High attention to detail and a commitment to producing high-quality work.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office tools, particularly Excel, and comfortable working with data and calculations.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to convey technical information clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
