PFE Mechanical Design Engineer F/M

Purpose of the Job:

Design and development of mechanical parts and assemblies used in Power Feeding Equipment (PFE) product. Support PFE production investigations, liaising with design and industrial engineers.

The PFE provides the current to power undersea cable systems, generating High Voltage (up to 21kV DC at up to 2 Amps) from a low to medium voltage DC supply, with a long system life and high reliability.

Responsibilities:

Product development within the following mechanical engineering disciplines:

• - 3D MCAD part, assembly, and cable modelling using PTC Creo
• - 2D MCAD part, assembly, and cable drawings using PTC Creo
• - Creating wiring instructions
• - Change management, creation of bill of materials/design documents on Windchill PDM
• - Work with System Engineers, Electrical Engineers & other departments.

Tools:

PTC Creo MCAD tools

PTC Windchill

MS Office incl. MS Visio

Developed products to be modelled and tested during the development phase and formally validated during the qualification phase against requirements for:

• - Environmental conditions
• - Reliability & lifetime
• - Manufacturability & testability
• - Cost

Liaison with suppliers, physical modelling, and prototyping of new designs. Generation of requirement specifications, drawings, and files. Creation and release of manufacturing drawings/documents as required.

Qualifications:

Mechanical Engineering degree or equivalent qualification in a relevant subject.

Minimum 5 years’ experience in relevant R&D, preferably with experience of manufacturing.

Good understanding of mechanical engineering principles, with some understanding of the electrical, electronic and software disciplines used in the overall equipment.

Experience of thermal modelling and air flow analysis using PTC Creo or similar tools would be advantageous.

Good communication skills and ability to work in a team.
