South East ABJ7500

An experienced Senior Electro Mechanical Engineer (electro-mechanical - electrical / mechanical engineer) is urgently required to be part of growing R&D team for a novel technology STEM organisation.

As electromechanical engineer you will use your mechanical design engineering and electrical expertise, to lead and develop new system designs (equipment / machinery) concepts and technology solutions from idea through to commercially viable solutions for the business.

Key Responsibilities

• To lead mechanical & electrical engineering activities to support the detailed design and development of machinery / systems equipment.

• To support communications with company internal teams (specifically the team in the US) including any contracted engineers to create functional solutions to project requirements.

• To work suppliers in the design, manufacture and delivery of production line components.

• To lead work on prototyping and design verification testing to support design & development of mechanical designs, optimization, cost reduction and quality improvement.

• To design and deliver appropriate approaches to design verification, prototyping, materials selection and testing.

• To integrate new technologies into new production lines and potential new product development, as well as fault-finding / improvement / enhancement on existing products and systems.

• To assist with the design, development and operation of the company’s existing UK pilot line.

• To work and interact with other skillsets in science and engineering to optimize production line manufacturability, cost and quality.

Qualifications and Experience

• Degree-educated e.g. (i.e. Mechanical Engineering, Electro-Mechanical Engineering, etc).
• An excellent understanding of commercial mechanical technology / systems / equipment designing for future trends/ technologies.
• Pyrolysis experience - essential both large and small scale operations.
• Proficient in CAD (ideally Solidworks & Navisworks Certified. Any experience on differing software packages to be assessed)
• Desirable - Knowledge and experience in the drafting and delivery of mechanical and electrical drawings (e.g.: P&IDs, Process Flow Diagrams, Electrical One Line Diagrams, Service Connection Drawings etc.)
• Hands-on development of working prototypes through to validation of commercial systems.
• Experience in managing numerous external partners: from initiating technical briefs and requirements, remote problem solving, managing updates and reporting progress to the broader team and leadership.
• Project management and budget management skills and experience would be beneficial;
• Understanding of project timescales and how the role contributes to the broader R&D innovation pipeline;
• Familiar with ISO 9001 Quality Management System and its associated processes (i.e. documentation control, change management, etc.).
• Experience with machinery design specifically for use in explosive environments (ATEX) and have background knowledge and experience with Hazard & Operability Studies (HAZOPs).
• Working knowledge of industrial standards (eg: ISO, IEC, ASME/ASTM) and regulations.
• Working knowledge of machinery control systems, including PLC/HMI concepts 3-phase motors and VFDs.
• Familiar with the EPC document approval process (submittals, review, comments, and revision).

Full Time. Permanent - ONSITE (some hybrid) up to 50k Base + Benefits Package - 25 days annual leave.
