Job Description

We are looking for a talented Mechanical Engineering Specialist to join our EMEIA Engineering team in Sandwich, United Kingdom, supporting Engineer-to-Order (ETO) products.

In this role, you will make an impact in the following ways:
  • Drive cross-functional alignment: Act as a central coordination point between engineering, customer teams, suppliers, and manufacturing to ensure seamless collaboration and informed decision-making.
  • Enable high-quality product decisions: Gather and synthesize stakeholder input to provide clear, data-driven recommendations that support product performance, cost, and reliability goals.
  • Accelerate project progress: Apply technical knowledge and sound judgement to make timely decisions on day-to-day project details, ensuring momentum without compromising quality.
  • Own components and deliver results: Take full accountability for smaller projects or complex components, managing ambiguity and ensuring successful delivery against expectations.
  • Strengthen engineering processes: Apply and continuously improve structured methodologies such as ESW, DFMEA, FIRG, and 7-step problem solving to enhance product quality and consistency.
  • Lead execution excellence: Independently execute established and emerging work processes while contributing to the development of improved systems within the function.
  • Mentor and guide others: Coordinate work across technicians and junior engineers, sharing knowledge and supporting capability development within the team.
  • Provide technical influence: Act as a trusted specialist within your discipline, contributing to technical direction and helping the team make sound engineering and product decisions.

Responsibilities

To be successful in this role you will need the following:
  • Strong ETO leadership and commercial awareness: Ability to lead engineering inputs into customer quotations, ensuring accurate BoMs, realistic resource estimates, and clearly defined validation scope in a fast-paced Engineer-to-Order environment.
  • Advanced mechanical design and systems expertise: Deep understanding of mechanical systems and control integration (open/closed loop), enabling the development of robust, innovative designs that meet diverse customer and operational requirements.
  • Configuration, change management, and release discipline: Proven experience managing product configurations and engineering changes through tools like Windchill, ensuring accuracy, traceability, and timely release of bespoke designs and documentation.
  • Cross-functional collaboration and stakeholder engagement: Strong ability to work with Manufacturing, Distribution teams, customers, suppliers, and offshore engineering support to clarify requirements, resolve build issues, and deliver effective engineering solutions.
  • Technical leadership, governance, and mentoring: Capability to lead design reviews, risk assessments (including iDFMEA), and ensure alignment to ETO KPIs, while mentoring others and maintaining high engineering standards across the team.

Qualifications

  • College, university, or equivalent Bachelor's degree in Engineering or appropriate STEM field is required.
  • Post-graduate (Master's) degree relevant to this discipline area may be required for select roles.
