A Mechanical Design Engineer designs and develops mechanical systems and components. You might work in industries such as automotive, aerospace, or manufacturing. Mechanical Design Engineers focus on creating detailed designs, analysing performance, and ensuring systems meet safety and efficiency standards. You’ll use computer-aided design (CAD) software to create models and collaborate with other engineers to refine designs and solve technical challenges.
Mechanical Design Engineers play a critical role in bringing innovative products and solutions to life. You’ll need strong problem-solving skills and a solid understanding of engineering principles. You’ll work closely with manufacturing teams and clients to ensure designs are feasible, cost-effective, and meet project requirements.
