Mechanical Design Engineer - CATIA V5

4 Days Old

Mechanical Design Engineer - Advanced Wind Energy Systems
Oxford, UK

A specialist engineering organisation focused on improving wind turbine blade performance is seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer to support the development of high-efficiency aerodynamic components.

This position offers full lifecycle involvement from early-stage concept development through detailed design, validation, and release to manufacture within a collaborative, technically rigorous environment.

The Role

You will translate aerodynamic and structural requirements into robust, production-ready mechanical designs, working closely with CFD and FEA specialists. The role requires strong 3D modelling capability, a sound grasp of composite structures, and a practical understanding of design-for-manufacture principles.

This is a hands-on engineering role suited to someone comfortable operating across concept development, detailed design, and supplier engagement.

Key Responsibilities

Develop surface and solid CAD models for aerodynamic mechanical components

Produce detailed manufacturing drawings and technical definition packages

Conduct design-for-manufacture reviews, particularly for composite assemblies

Support product validation activities and iterative design refinement

Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure performance, structural integrity, and manufacturability are aligned

Contribute to technical discussions and stakeholder presentations

Requirements

Essential

Strong 3D CAD capability (CATIA V5 surfacing experience preferred)

Mechanical design experience within composite structures

Working knowledge of GD&T, limits, and fits

Understanding of full product development lifecycle

Desirable

Exposure to Six Sigma or structured development methodologies (e.g., IDOV)

Experience working in performance-driven engineering environments
