We are looking for a CAD/CAM Mechanical Design Engineer with a passion for innovative mechanical design and an eye for manufacturability. You will take ownership of the mechanical design process—from concept to detailed engineering—while ensuring your designs can be effectively manufactured using advanced CAM methodologies.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a cross-functional environment, combining creative engineering design with real-world production constraints.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the mechanical design of components, systems, and assemblies in 3D CAD (e.g., SolidWorks, Siemens NX, CATIA).

• Produce detailed 2D drawings and documentation with a strong command of GD&T and design for manufacturing (DFM).

• Translate product requirements into innovative mechanical solutions while balancing performance, cost, and manufacturability.

• Collaborate with product managers and R&D to shape early-stage concepts into viable engineering designs.

• Perform tolerance analysis, basic FEA, and design optimization.

• Develop CAM toolpaths (or support CAM team) to validate manufacturability and optimize CNC processes.

• Interface with production and suppliers to ensure design intent is maintained through to manufacturing.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline.

• 3+ years of experience in mechanical design engineering with exposure to CAM and CNC processes.

• Strong proficiency in 3D CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, NX, CATIA).

• Working knowledge of CAM tools (e.g., Fusion 360, Mastercam, NX CAM) and an understanding of CNC machining.

• Hands-on experience with design reviews, BOMs, and product documentation.

• Familiar with engineering standards and design validation practices.

• Creative, structured, and solution-oriented mindset.

Preferred Qualifications

• Exposure to design automation or scripting in CAD tools (e.g., parametric modeling, macros).

• Knowledge of materials, especially plastics, and experience with injection moulding design for industrial products.

• Familiarity with the design and manufacturing of moulds for injection moulding.

• Understanding of rapid prototyping or additive manufacturing techniques.
