Stellenbeschreibung
Texte original importé depuis Reed
Are you an experienced Design Engineer with strong SolidWorks, CAD/CAM and fabrication knowledge? We are recruiting on behalf of a growing engineering and manufacturing business seeking a talented engineer to join their design team.
This is an excellent opportunity to work on a diverse range of bespoke projects from concept through to manufacture, collaborating closely with production, fabrication and project teams to deliver high-quality engineering solutions.
As a SolidWorks Design Engineer, you will be responsible for designing and developing fabricated components, assemblies and manufacturing solutions using SolidWorks and CAD/CAM software. You will play a key role in supporting production processes, improving designs for manufacture, and ensuring projects are delivered efficiently and accurately.
Roles & Responsibilities
- Create detailed 3D models, assemblies and manufacturing drawings using SolidWorks.
- Develop CAD/CAM programs for CNC machining and fabrication processes.
- Design sheet metal, welded and fabricated components and assemblies.
- Produce accurate bills of materials (BOMs) and engineering documentation.
- Liaise with fabrication, machining and production teams to ensure designs are manufacturable.
- Support continuous improvement initiatives and design optimisation.
- Conduct design reviews and resolve engineering issues during production.
- Work closely with customers and internal stakeholders to understand project requirements.
- Ensure compliance with relevant engineering standards and quality procedures.
Essential
- Proven experience as a Design Engineer, Mechanical Design Engineer or similar.
- Advanced proficiency in SolidWorks.
- Strong CAD/CAM programming experience.
- Knowledge of fabrication, welding and sheet metal manufacturing processes.
- Experience producing detailed manufacturing drawings.
- Understanding of CNC machining principles and manufacturing techniques.
- Ability to interpret engineering specifications and technical requirements.
- Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.
- HNC/HND or Degree qualified in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.

Aperçu — adapté à Futures
Dear Hiring Manager,
Futures' search for a SolidWorks Design Engineer in Bradford aligns directly with my background in advanced SolidWorks modelling and CAD/CAM programming for fabricated and CNC-machined assemblies. Designing bespoke components from concept through to full manufacturing drawing packs — including sheet metal and welded structures — is where I have built the majority of my engineering experience, and I am keen to bring that capability to your client's growing design team.
My background in mechanical design engineering has seen me produce detailed 3D models, assemblies and BOMs for a range of bespoke manufacturing projects, working closely with fabrication and production teams to ensure designs are both accurate and manufacturable. I hold an HNC/HND in Mechanical Engineering and have consistently applied relevant engineering standards and quality procedures throughout my work.
