About the Role
CPI is seeking an Engineer 1 - Product Design to join our growing Product Design team, supporting the delivery of a range of high-impact, multi-million-pound engineering projects.
This is a hands-on design role where you will contribute to the full product development lifecycle, from early concept through to prototype and testing. You will work across a variety of programmes, ranging from smaller rapid development projects through to larger, structured programmes with defined verification and validation stages.
With increasing project demand and investment in new programmes, this role offers an excellent opportunity for an early-career engineer to make an immediate impact while developing their technical and professional capabilities.
What You'll Be Responsible For:
Product Design & Development
- Convert customer requirements into detailed design specifications
- Develop:
- Concept designs and layouts
- Mechanical components and assemblies
- Bills of materials and technical drawings
- Support prototype development and iterative design improvements
Project Delivery
- Contribute to the delivery of assigned projects, which may include:
- Multiple smaller development projects
- Larger programmes involving structured design, testing, and validation
- Plan, execute, and report on technical activities in line with project timelines
Engineering & Testing
- Support experimental and pilot activities, including data analysis and reporting
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams including engineering, procurement, and project management
- Maintain accurate documentation of designs, decisions, and technical outputs
Tools & Techniques
- Use CAD tools to develop mechanical designs
- Apply engineering principles such as:
- Requirements capture
- User-centred design
- Design for manufacture and assembly
- Contribute to prototyping and rapid development activities
About You:
You are a motivated early-career engineer with a strong interest in product design and a desire to apply your skills in a fast-paced, project-driven environment.
You'll bring:
- A degree (or equivalent) in Mechanical Engineering, Product Design, or similar
- Industrial experience of product development, ideally within medical devices
- Experience or exposure to CAD and design tools
- A proactive mindset with strong problem-solving ability
Desirable (but not essential):
- Product Development experience within medical devices, automotive, FMCG, oil & gas, or similar industries
- Exposure to:
- GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing)
- Prototyping or testing environments
- Engineering design processes and lifecycle
- Experience using rendering or industrial design tools (e.g. KeyShot or similar)
Candidates with 1-2 years of industry experience are particularly encouraged to apply, especially those looking to take the next step in their development.
Why Join CPI?
- Work on a diverse range of projects - from rapid development to large-scale programmes
- Opportunity to contribute to high-value, complex engineering projects
- Strong learning and development environment with clear progression pathways
- Collaborative, multidisciplinary team environment
- Competitive salary (£26.9k - £34.9k)
Location & Working Pattern
- Based fully on-site at NETPark, Sedgefield
- Hands-on role requiring regular presence in labs and engineering spaces
The Opportunity
This is an excellent opportunity for a mechanically focused design engineer to step into a role where they can develop quickly, contribute meaningfully, and build experience across a wide range of product development projects.

Aperçu — adapté à SRG
Dear Hiring Manager,
CPI's work at NETPark on multi-million-pound product development programmes is precisely the environment in which I want to grow as an engineer — which is why I am applying for the Engineer 1 - Product Design role. I bring hands-on CAD experience and a solid grounding in design for manufacture and assembly, alongside exposure to the full product development lifecycle from concept through to prototype and testing.
My background in mechanical engineering has equipped me with the skills to convert customer requirements into detailed design specifications, produce technical drawings, and develop bills of materials for complex assemblies. I have collaborated within multidisciplinary teams spanning engineering, procurement, and project management, and I am comfortable working across both rapid development projects and larger structured programmes with defined verification and validation stages.
