Job Description

Job titles: Product Design Engineer

Salary: up to £45k

Location: Swansea

Are you a Product Design Engineer with a passion for aesthetics, ergonomics, and technical precision? Do you want to shape the look and feel of next-generation, high-volume consumer health and beauty devices?

 

We are working with a leading Welsh med-tech manufacturer that develops innovative products for a global market. They are known for combining clinical expertise with technological innovation and are expanding their product portfolio rapidly.

 

This is a chance to move beyond pure mechanical engineering and become the driving force behind the visual design and user experience of their products.

 

The Role: Focus on Form, Function, and Validation

You will be responsible for balancing stunning aesthetics with rigorous technical requirements.

  • Aesthetic Leadership: Drive the visual, ergonomic, and CMF (Colour, Material, Finish) design of new consumer devices.
  • Technical Validation: Test and verify designs for critical performance factors, including thermal management and structural strength.
  • Design for Manufacture: Utilise Solidworks (strong surface modelling skills are essential) to create production-ready designs with a deep understanding of plastic injection moulding.
  • Collaboration: Work closely with Electronics and R&D teams to ensure mechanical fit and seamless product integration.

Your Profile

  • Several years of industrial experience, ideally within consumer electronics or high-volume aesthetic devices.
  • A strong Product/Industrial Design portfolio demonstrating successful aesthetic product launches.
  • Expert-level 3D CAD skills (Solidworks) and proficiency in surface modelling.
  • Experience in designing for, and performing, thermal and strength testing.
  • Degree in Product Design, Industrial Design, or a relevant Engineering discipline.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a high-growth, UK-based business at the forefront of the home-use beauty technology sector.
