We are working with a well-established and growing product manufacturer based in East Yorkshire, which is looking to appoint a creative and technically capable Product Design Engineer to join their in-house design team.

The Opportunity:

This is an exciting opportunity for a Product Design Engineer to work on a wide variety of consumer-facing and commercial products that end up in public spaces, leisure venues, educational settings, and large-scale attractions across the UK and internationally. The successful Product Design Engineer will join a small, creative, and fast-paced team based at a modern design office, working across both bespoke client projects and the company’s own expanding product ranges.

The Role:

As a Product Design Engineer, you will be responsible for taking products from initial concept through to production-ready outputs, working collaboratively with colleagues across design, production, and client services. Day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• Generating and developing product concepts from initial brief through to detailed 3D design
• Producing accurate technical drawings, assembly documentation, and installation guides
• Collaborating with the wider team and contributing to client presentations and design reviews
• Managing multiple projects simultaneously in a deadline-driven environment
• Contributing ideas and creative solutions to both new product development and bespoke client commissions
• Working to commercial briefs and considering cost, manufacturability, and end-user experience throughout the design process

• Proficiency in SolidWorks or Solid Edge — including 3D modelling, assemblies, and technical drawing production
• Strong freehand sketching and visual communication skills
• Experience with rendering and presentation tools such as KeyShot, Photoshop, or Illustrator
