  • 7+ years of experience designing and manufacturing electromechanical products.

  • Experience with plastic housings, mechanisms, and complex assemblies.

  • Strong CAD skills (SolidWorks, Creo, or similar).

  • Hands-on experience with manufacturing equipment (CNC, 3D printing, shop-floor tooling).

  • Experience setting up or improving low-to-medium volume production processes.

  • Comfortable working directly with suppliers and manufacturing partners.

  • Strong leadership, organisation, and communication skills.

Nice to Have

  • Experience working to medical device standards such as ISO 13485 or IEC 60601.

  • Experience with robotics, motion control, or automation equipment.

  • Experience with process improvement or lean manufacturing methods.
