Job: Design Engineer in Dungannon

Our busy Engineering client in the Dungannon area require a Design Engineer to join their team.

The position is a critical hands-on role responsible for the end-to-end design and integration of all components within their product range.  This role requires a strong proficiency in SolidWorks for structural and mechanical design, coupled with technical knowledge in off-grid electrical systems.

Key Responsibilities

• 3D Modelling: Create detailed 3D models and assemblies of full product range using SolidWorks.
• Engineering Drawings: Generate complete, accurate 2D manufacturing and fabrication drawings (including BOMs and cut lists) for production of sheet metal and structural components.
• Design for Manufacture: Work closely with the production team to ensure designs are optimised for cost, ease of assembly, and efficient manufacturing processes.
• System Design: Specify, select, and integrate all electrical and power generation components.
• Power Analysis: Perform power consumption calculations, solar yield assessments, and battery sizing to ensure reliable, continuous off-grid operation of our units, including an understanding of low voltage (DC) and mains voltage (AC) cabin circuit diagrams.
• Component Sourcing: Evaluate, and specify proprietary components to ensure compatibility with power limits and regulatory standards.
• Standards Adherence: Ensure all designs comply with relevant industry standards for the target markets.
• Documentation: Manage all design files, revisions, and technical documentation within the MRP system.

Required Skills & Experience

• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field.
• Proficiency with SolidWorks for part modelling, assembly creation, and technical drawing generation.
• Strong practical understanding of off-grid power systems (Solar PV, deep cycle batteries, charge controllers, inverters, generators).
• Knowledge of fabrication techniques for materials such as sheet metal, structural steel, and composite panels.
• Familiarity with standard electrical components, wiring practices, and low-voltage DC applications.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, with a focus on integrating multiple engineering disciplines.

Desirable Attributes

• Experience in the design of modular buildings, shelters, vehicles, or enclosures.
