Location Hybrid in Hampshire

Join a market-leading British marine engineering specialist producing low-volume high-value commercial vessels and specialised aluminium marine structures. Supported by fresh leadership and a substantial order book they combine cutting-edge CAD design with on-site assembly to deliver build-ready vessels for commercial and defence clients worldwide.

Due to exciting growth within the business they are expanding their design function and seeking a Manufacturing Design Engineer proficient in this role you will bridge the gap between initial naval architecture concepts and practical workshop fabrication.

Responsibilities but are not limited to

• Deconstruct 3D surface models and 2D drawings into detailed fabricator-ready aluminium structural components (frames bulkheads stringers plates)
  
• Produce clean highly descriptive 2D fabrication assembly drawings and sub-assembly diagrams tailored for manual welding teams
  
• Maintain an accurate 3D "Digital Twin" of the vessel integrating exact vendor component dimensions to eliminate physical interferences
  
• Model and detail spatial routing for onboard mechanical systems including fuel lines hydraulics steering gear and propulsion machinery
  
• Perform spatial interference and clashing checks in the CAD environment before releasing drawings to the shop floor
  
• Extract and manage precise Bills of Materials (BOMs) structural extrusion lists and outsourced component orders
  
• Apply Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) principles standardising fold lines flanges and tab-and-slot features for efficient manual build
  
• Ensure all structural and system details comply with regulatory standards (e.g. MCA regulations Lloyds Register rules)
  

Experiences required

• Proven experience in mechanical design or production engineering using SolidWorks and SolidWorks PDM/EPDM or similar (Solid Edge Inventor Fusion 360 Onshape PTC Windchill Autodesk Vault Siemens Teamcenter)
  
• Strong background in aluminium fabrication structural weldments sheet metal and machined components
  
• Practical experience or familiarity with marine structures vessels GRP materials or heavy mechanical assemblies (e.g. yellow goods JCB or automotive background)
  
• Qualified via apprenticeship HNC/HND BSc or Masters level in Mechanical Engineering Marine Design or Yacht Production
