Contract Design Engineer – Solidworks

Contract Mechanical Systems Engineer / Mechanical Design EngineerOutside IR35 Hybrid Immediate Project

Are you an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer who enjoys solving complex engineering problems before opening SolidWorks?

We’re supporting an innovative engineering company developing defence technology, who require an experienced contractor to support the early stages of an exciting new customer programme.

This isn’t just another CAD role.

The initial focus will be on capturing customer requirements, writing clear engineering specifications and managing technical requirements before progressing into the redesign of complex equipment for an ATEX environment.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Capturing and documenting customer requirements.
• Producing high-quality engineering specifications.
• Working closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Developing SolidWorks designs as the project progresses.
• Supporting the development of ruggedised mechanical systems.

We’re looking for engineers with experience in:

• Mechanical Design Engineering.
• SolidWorks.
• Requirements capture and technical documentation.
• Machinery, robotics, defence, aerospace or special purpose equipment.
• Systems engineering or requirements management (Jama, DOORS or Polarion desirable).
• ATEX or hazardous environments (advantageous).

Contract Details

• Initial 2-month contract.
• Outside IR35.
• Hybrid working (approximately four days on-site initially, with flexibility thereafter).
• Immediate interviews ahead of project award.

If you’re a Mechanical Engineer who enjoys turning customer requirements into practical engineering solutions and wants to work on cutting-edge autonomous technology, we’d love to hear from you.
