Design Engineer

Exclusively Remote

Design Engineer – Defence & Advanced Vehicle Systems

Full time UK hours

Remote (within South Africa)

We are seeking an experienced Design Engineer with a background in the defence or advanced engineering sector to join a high-performing, specialist design team. This role requires expertise not typically found in the domestic vehicle sector and offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge, complex vehicle platforms.

You will play a key role in the design and development of powertrains (systems that generate and transfer power to road, water, or air), including driveline, suspension, and full platform integration. Platforms may be tracked or wheeled, conventional or hybrid-powered.

Key Responsibilities
  • Carry out detailed design using 3D CAD modelling (SolidWorks & Creo)
  • Perform design analysis and simulation using MSC Apex & Nastran
  • Develop high-quality, cost-effective design solutions within fast-paced project environments
  • Maintain rigorous quality standards for 3D models and manufacturing drawings
  • Contribute to all aspects of vehicle development, including suspension, driveline, and systems integration
  • Stay current with industry trends and emerging technologies in powertrain, driveline, suspension, and hybrid systems
  • Communicate and present technical concepts clearly to internal teams, clients, and suppliers
Required Skills & Software Experience
  • Strong 3D modelling capability
  • Experience in design analysis and simulation
  • Proficiency in one or more major CAD systems
  • Experience with:
    • SolidWorks
    • PTC Creo 3D CAD
    • MSC Apex & Nastran
    • ADAMS (multibody dynamics simulation)
    • Hexagon measurement technologies (advantageous)
    • ANSYS (beneficial)
Experience & Qualifications
  • Degree in Mechanical Engineering (or significant directly relevant experience)
  • Minimum 3+ years of design experience, ideally focused on powertrain, driveline, or suspension systems
  • Experience in defence, specialist vehicle, or advanced engineering sectors preferred
  • Practical experience with hybrid powertrain technology is a strong advantage
  • Experience in driveline and suspension system validation is beneficial
  • Highly motivated self-starter who thrives both independently and within a small collaborative team
