- Drive product cost reductions and performance improvements through design optimisation
- Maintain clear, structured engineering documentation in line with internal quality systems, ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 17025 requirements

- Degree-qualified in electrical, mechanical, or mechatronics engineering
- Experience in a product design, testing, or manufacturing environment (preferred)
- Strong proficiency with 2D and 3D CAD tools (Autodesk Inventor preferred)
- Familiarity with relevant standards (e.g. AS/IEC 61869) and design for manufacture principles
- Comfortable engaging with lab personnel and supporting test activities in high-voltage and high-current environments
- Well-organised, with strong documentation and reporting skills suitable for compliance-driven environments
- Collaborative team player who communicates clearly across departments
- Hands-on mindset with a practical approach to solving real-world engineering problems

**Benefits**
- Competitive compensation package with performance-based bonuses.
