Your responsibilities:

• Develop mechanical concepts into 3D CAD models and detailed 2D drawings
• Analyse technical specifications and translate them into practical design and engineering solutions
• Perform technical calculations and select components and materials
• Prepare bills of materials (BOMs) and related technical documentation
• Coordinate designs with engineering, project teams and production
• Support production with technical and mechanical questions
• Identify technical risks, deviations and opportunities for improvement
