Mechanical Design Engineer

We are seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer for a pioneering medtech company specialising in innovative plastic moulded components and automation solutions within the healthcare and life sciences sector. Based in Warrington, this role offers a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of designing scalable, high-performance medical devices incorporating robotics and mechatronics. You will play a critical role in developing and refining complex injection moulded plastics and polymer components, transforming novel concepts into manufacturable products that meet strict regulatory standards. Working closely with a dynamic team, your responsibilities will include concept development, prototyping, materials selection, and collaborating with manufacturing partners to ensure designs are optimised for production and compliance. This is a hands-on, creative role requiring end-to-end ownership of design projects, making an impact on cutting-edge healthcare solutions. * Proven experience in product or mechanical design, with a focus on plastics, polymers, and moulded components, particularly injection moulding processes. * Hands-on experience designing, prototyping, testing, and iterating mechanical solutions within a regulated industry such as medtech, healthcare, or life sciences. * Strong knowledge of materials properties, tolerancing, and processing parameters for plastics and polymer components. * Ability to translate concepts through CAD modelling and detail drawings, with practical experience in physical prototyping and validation. * Experience in design-for-manufacture, collaborating with tooling and production partners to scale prototypes into repeatable products. * Familiarity with robotics, automation, or mechatronics applied within medical devices or healthcare equipment is advantageous. * Excellent problem-solving skills with the ability to independently own projects from inception to delivery, balancing creativity with regulatory considerations. Joining this growing company offers a rewarding career path with exposure to ground-breaking medical device innovation. Benefits include a competitive salary package, involvement in early-stage product development, and the chance to shape the future of patient-focused healthcare solutions.
