Senior Electromechanical Design Engineer Candidate Requirements

We are looking for a technically capable and commercially aware Senior Electromechanical Design Engineer who is comfortable working across both mechanical and electrical disciplines. You'll combine strong design knowledge with a practical, hands-on approach, taking problems through to solutions rather than simply identifying them.

You will ideally bring:

• An engineering apprenticeship, HNC/HND or degree-level qualification in mechanical or electrical engineering.
• Experience of mechanical design, ideally using SolidWorks for 3D modelling, assemblies and detailed manufacturing drawings, along with a good understanding of electrical systems, electrical drawings and motor testing.
• Experience diagnosing electrical and mechanical faults and resolving technical issues.
• The confidence to communicate directly with customers, handling technical queries and complaints professionally.
• An understanding of manufacturing processes, engineering changes and product testing.
• A proactive attitude, good commercial awareness and the ambition to develop into a wider technical leadership position.
• Experience with ATEX, international safety standards, induction motor winding principles and basic machining processes would be advantageous.

Senior Electromechanical Design Engineer Key Responsibilities

• Lead the design and development of motors and associated plant equipment, covering both mechanical and electrical engineering aspects.
• Produce 3D SolidWorks models, assemblies, fabrication designs, detailed manufacturing drawings and proposals for bespoke machinery.
• Carry out motor testing, performance verification, product evaluation and fault diagnosis across electrical and mechanical systems.
• Provide technical support to customers, handling queries and complaints, investigating problems and developing practical engineering solutions.
• Work closely with sales and production teams, creating product variations within the ERP system and supporting manufacturing requirements.
• Manage engineering change requests, product improvements and new product testing, maintaining quality standards within an ISO9001 environment.
• Take increasing ownership of the company's technical activities, working towards assuming wider engineering leadership and responsibility.
