Summary:
We are seeking a motivated detailoriented Design Engineer to join our fastgrowing engineering team. This role will be central to the layout design and physical integration of our plasmabased reactor modules and supporting systems. Youll be working on tangible industrial hardware from concept through to testable prototypes with opportunities to contribute directly to Australias clean tech frontier.
Youll be part of a lean highagency team scaling our prototype system into solutions fit for field deployment. We value speed practicality and clarity if you enjoy designing for the real world iterating efficiently and seeing your work come to life on the workshop floor this is your kind of role.
Responsibilities:
- Translate system requirements into clear and practical layout designs including module structures enclosures and component arrangements.
- Create and maintain detailed design models using CAD software (e.g. SolidWorks Fusion 360 AutoCAD or equivalent).
- Produce efficient design iterations to support agile prototyping and testing workflows.
- Ensure documentation of technical drawings part specifications and change management is maintained to support traceability and handover.
- Work closely within an interdisciplinary team to ensure functional integration from concept to assembly.
- Apply designformanufacture (DFM) thinking from the early stages taking into account mechanical principles and fabrication methods.
- Follow safe work practices and contribute to maintaining a wellmanaged workspace aligned with WHS guidelines.
Required skills/qualifications:
- A degree in related technical discipline (e.g. Engineering Industrial Design Drafting/Engineering Design)
- Proven track record in design engineering having developed products comprising mechanical electronics plumbing electrical and control systems and components.
- Proficiency in CAD tools and an understanding of how to design for desired specifications such as performance durability manufacturability etc..
- Strong communication and documentation habits.
- A proactive mindset and the ability to thrive in a dynamic handson engineering environment.
- Commitment to maintaining a safe organised and compliant working environment in line with WHS expectations.
Preferred Skills / Experience (not essential) :
- A good understanding of solid foundational understanding across chemistry & physics.
- Familiarity with engineering simulations (e.g. thermal mechanical fluid flow).
- Practical understanding of smallscale manufacturing tolling & equipment (e.g. how machinery like 3D printer CNCs mills) to design components that are easy to manufacture or assemble inhouse.
- Familiarity with P&IDs and PFDs.
- General understanding of electronic hardware design to support system integration and design spacing.
