Mechanical Design Engineer

Thermoteknix is establishing a new Production Engineering team within R&D to transition products from development into robust, scalable manufacturing. The Mechanical Engineer will play a role in ensuring mechanical aspects of new and existing products are optimised for manufacture, test, assembly, and long-term production support. This role covers production process development, fixture and jig design, documentation, and continuous improvement of manufacturing capability. Key Responsibilities New Product Introduction & Transfer to Manufacturing * Support the structured transfer of products from R&D into engineering and manufacturing. * Ensure mechanical designs are suitable for production through DFM/DFA reviews. * Lead mechanical workstreams within NPI projects, ensuring readiness for build and scale. * Collaborate with design engineers to finalise manufacturable mechanical solutions. Production Engineering Development * Design and develop mechanical assembly fixtures, test jigs, tooling, and support equipment. * Define and document mechanical build procedures, assembly instructions, and production workflows. * Establish repeatable and controlled manufacturing processes for mechanical sub-assemblies. Continuous Improvement & Manufacturing Optimisation * Drive improvements in manufacturing efficiency, quality, and repeatability for products already in production. * Identify opportunities to streamline mechanical assembly processes and reduce build time. * Support cost-reduction initiatives through design refinement and improved production methods. * Implement engineering change solutions to enhance manufacturability and reliability
