Collaborate closely with subsystem teams, manufacturing engineers, and a wide range of stakeholders to translate requirements into robust engineering solutions. Investigate design challenges, identify root causes of technical issues, and develop practical solutions.

As an NX Design Engineer, you will:

Create and modify 3D component and assembly models using NX CAD and associated engineering tools. Design components within gas turbine engine structures and casings, supporting civil aerospace programmes. Deliver design modifications to existing products. Engage proactively with subsystem teams and stakeholders across the business to understand design requirements and technical constraints. Work closely with manufacturing engineers to ensure designs are manufacturable and support efficient production. Investigate design issues, perform root cause analysis, and implement effective engineering solutions. Produce and maintain engineering documentation, models, drawings, and technical definitions. Support design reviews and contribute technical expertise throughout the development lifecycle. Drive continuous improvement by challenging existing solutions and identifying opportunities to enhance product performance and design processes.

What we're looking for:

Experience in component design within aerospace, defence, or another highly regulated engineering environment. Strong 3D CAD modelling experience, ideally using NX. Experience designing components, assemblies, or systems for complex engineered products. Understanding of gas turbine engines, aero engines, propulsion systems, or similar rotating equipment would be highly advantageous. Ability to work effectively with manufacturing engineers, subsystem teams, and multiple technical stakeholders. Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to identify root causes and develop practical design solutions.
