Senior Mechanical Design Engineer - TEAM LEADER

As Senior Mechanical Design Engineer, you will lead the mechanical design of cutting-edge robotics and secondary packaging equipment, including cartoners, case packers, tray loaders, and custom machines. You will drive design innovation, mentor junior engineers, and play a critical role in delivering high-quality solutions from concept through FAT and SAT.


Senior Mechanical Design Engineer Duties:

  • Own the mechanical design of bespoke automation and secondary packaging systems, starting from concept through to completion.
  • Produce detailed 3D models, 2D manufacturing drawings, and BOMs using SolidWorks (or similar CAD software).
  • Specification & sourcing of off-the-shelf components.
  • Work cross-functionally with Controls, Electrical, Project Management and Production teams.
  • Lead Design Reviews both internally and externally.
  • Collaborate with suppliers and manufacturing department to optimise for cost, performance, and ease of assembly.
  • Plan the work using the approved Project Methodology and Standard Work-Flows.
  • Generate the required project documentation (internal and external).
  • Ensure designs comply with GMP, CE, and industry-specific safety standards.
  • Perform risk assessments and DFMEA.
  • Mentor and coach junior mechanical designers and engineers.
  • Continuously evaluate new technologies, materials, and design methodologies to improve machine performance and reliability.

Qualifications & Experience:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
  • 10+ years’ experience in mechanical design, with at least 5 in automation or special purpose machinery.
  • Experience with pharmaceutical or medical device automation

  • Strong mechanical intuition, attention to detail, and problem-solving ability
  • Strong understanding of pneumatics, servo systems, cams, and mechanical drives.
  • Familiarity with CE marking and machine safety standards (ISO 12100, ISO 13849, etc.).
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to influence across engineering and customer teams.
  • Experience with coaching and mentoring of younger colleagues.
  • Work arrangement: remote, with occasional travel (approx. 10%) for client collaboration.

Preferred Requirements:

  • Understanding of validation processes (e.g. DQ, FAT, SAT).
  • Knowledge of vision systems and robotic integration (Delta/Cobots).
  • Familiarity with lean manufacturing principles and design-for-manufacture (DFM).
  • FEA and motion simulation experience (e.g., SolidWorks Simulation, Ansys). xlwpduy
  • Leadership experience on cross-functional project teams.
