Senior Studio Design Engineer

The role

The day-to-day

• Sketch, model and build prototypes for aerospace, drone, land and robotics systems in Siemens NX, SolidWorks or CATIA V5, moving from idea to testable hardware within each concept sprint
• Validate designs against manufacturing, performance and cost constraints, and refine them for serial production with fewer design iterations
• Connect campaign teams, engineering teams, the design studio and customers, turning requirements into clear design decisions and documented trade-offs
• Manage design data and team workstreams, keeping CAD, release and change records accurate so that every team builds from a single source of truth
• Guide colleagues through concept, kick-off and production stages, improve team processes, and refine products after launch using feedback from build, test and use

You should apply if you

• Have designed, built and delivered hardware products from concept through to serial production, and can show the work
• Use Siemens NX, SolidWorks or CATIA V5 to produce production-ready models and drawings
• Apply hands-on manufacturing knowledge to shape designs for cost, quality and speed
• Build and test physical prototypes yourself, and care about creating products with an intuitive, complete user experience
• Manage projects from start to finish, and present design decisions clearly to engineers and customers

Note: We operate in an industry where women, as well as other minority groups, are systematically under-represented. We encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet all the listed qualifications; ability and impact cannot be summarised in a few bullet points.

Nice to Have

• Use simulation tools to test and improve designs, and plan validation tests that confirm a design meets its requirements
• Work fluently in Adobe Creative Cloud and AI-assisted design toolkits to speed up concept visualisation
