Mechanical Design Engineer

Purpose

As a Mechanical Design Engineer at TSC Subsea Ltd, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and supporting mechanical systems and components for our advanced robotic platforms. You will collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary team of engineers and technicians to create innovative solutions that meet the stringent demands and deadlines of NDT applications in the subsea environment.

Key Responsibilities:

Design and develop mechanical systems and components for robotic solutions, including structural design, materials selection, and integration of mechanical parts.

Collaborate with electrical and software engineers to ensure seamless integration of mechanical systems with robotic platforms.

Conduct feasibility studies, simulations, and testing to validate mechanical designs and ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations.

Troubleshoot and resolve mechanical issues in existing robotic systems and provide technical support to manufacturing and operational teams.

Develop and maintain documentation, including CAD models, assembly drawings, and technical specifications.

Participate in the development and implementation of test procedures to ensure the reliability and performance of mechanical systems.

Stay current with emerging technologies and industry trends to continuously improve the design and performance of our robotic solutions.

Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or a related field; master's degree preferred.

Proven experience in mechanical design and development, preferably in the robotics or automation industry.

Proficiency in using CAD tools for 3D modelling and mechanical design (e.g., SolidWorks, SolidEdge, AutoCAD).

Experience with materials selection, structural analysis, and mechanical testing.

Familiarity with manufacturing processes, such as machining, welding, and additive manufacturing.

Strong problem-solving skills and creativity along with the ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment.

Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to diverse audiences.

Knowledge of industry standards and regulations related to mechanical systems and NDT applications is a plus.

Preferred skills:

Experience with robotic mechanisms and motion control systems.

Knowledge of non-destructive testing methods and technologies.

Hands-on experience with prototyping and testing mechanical systems in a laboratory or field setting.

Familiarity with safety standards and best practices for designing mechanical systems in industrial environments.

Keen to work in offshore environments (oil platforms and vessels) delivering inspection as part of a combined NDT operator / Engineer team.

Practical engineering experience: use of hand and power tools and good hands-on assembly and fault finding
