Mechanical Design Engineer

Progressive GE are partnered with a global engineering consultancy that deliver complex electromechanical product development for high regulation, high integrity industries. They work on systems where safety, reliability and technical rigour matter, taking products from concept through design, analysis, prototypes, testing and manufacture readiness. Due to continued growth and a strong pipeline into (Apply online only) they are recruiting a Mechanical Design Engineer for the Bristol office.

You will gain exposure across the full multi disciplinary process working alongside Electronics, Software and Human Factors teams. The work is varied, technically challenging and suits someone who enjoys solving real engineering problems rather than repetitive design tasks. You will also take ownership of technical work packages or small projects, contribute to larger proposals and take responsibility for your own development.

This Mechanical Design Engineer role is ideal for someone who wants full lifecycle involvement with genuine technical variety. You will work across concept generation, detailed mechanical design, CFD or FEA analysis, prototype builds, hands-on test activity and preparation for manufacture. Projects typically involve complex electromechanical assemblies used in regulated sectors so strong engineering judgement and a structured approach are essential.
