Job Title: Computer Aided Design & Drafting Engineer Location: Gaydon, Warwickshire Rate: 34.61ph via an Umbrella Company (Inside IR35) or 25.80ph PAYE Employment Type: Contract (Currently financed until March 2026) Hours: Standard 40 Hours Per Week Computer Aided Design & Drafting (CAD/CAM/CAE) work focuses on the documentation, illustration, and digital modelling of engineering designs and processes including: Assessing engineering requirements and translating into technical blueprints, drawings, layouts, and simulation models using CAD/CAM/CAE software or applying standard CAD/CAM/CAE techniques to digitize, edit, and revise engineering drawings of components, parts, and assemblies. Capturing, defining and controlling of all GD&T information. Capturing, defining and controlling of all significant and critical characteristics. Co-ordinating with others to define the most suitable materials for sub-components Calculations and testing to support fixing design (adhesives, fasteners, etc.) Design of parts to ensure good manufacturability. Design of jigs/fixtures for assembly. Customizing CAD/CAM/CAE software to model complex or unusual designs. Creating digital proto-types and conducting design simulations for purposes of verifying reliability/safety and optimizing engineering processes. Collaborating with product/manufacturing process engineers by recommending changes to component designs based on outcomes of digital proto-typing and design simulations. May provide materials lists and cost estimates Level: A Specialist Professional (P4) is a recognized subject matter expert in job area typically obtained through advanced education and work experience. Responsibilities typically include: Managing large projects or processes with limited oversight from manager. Coaching, reviewing and delegating work to lower-level professionals. Ensure all appropriate client standards are met throughout design maturation. Manage design verification test plans, including detailed planning of test and development stages through to sign-off and support engineering test teams with rectification of issues. Work with Supplier Teams to develop fix & resolution plans for hardware issues. Undertake any other work as directed by their Line Manager in connection with their job as may be requested from time to time. Problems faced are difficult and often complex. Specialization Match Note: Para-Professional incumbents typically work on less complex engineering designs and processes than Individual. Professionals and modify draft layouts/models created by engineers and CAD/CAM/CAE designers. Skills: CAD skills to design and manipulate mechanical components. Detailed knowledge of GD&T. Working knowledge of FMEA and significant/critical characteristics. Experience of diecasting, injection moulding, machining, pressing, stamping, painting and other associated manufacturing processes. Understanding of different fixing methods and how to perform design calculations to ensure robustness. Empirical knowledge of tooling design considerations and mould flow analyses. Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to explain technical issues to Stakeholders. Ability to work independently and proactively, taking full ownership and responsibility for own work; fully invested in achieving a successful result. A critical thinker who is able to apply a logical approach to problem resolution. Willingness to learn and to take active responsibility for own development/objectives. A person who responds positively to constructive feedback, new ideas and inputs. Experience of CATIA or other equivalent CAD packages. Experience of performing bolted joint calculations. Experience of performing adhesive force calculations and a working knowledge of the noise factors that may degrade performance. A practitioner of quality methods like, 8D, Failure Mode Effect Analysis, Failure Modes Effects and Diagnostic Analysis or Fault Tree Analysis. Design for manufacturing and design for six sigma.
