Senior Mechanical Engineer

Title: Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

Department: Systems Engineering

Reports to: Mechanical Design Team Leader

Magnus-Metal Ltd. is an early-stage start-up company, developing a new "Additive Casting" process for manufacturing large metal parts. The process outputs cast metal parts based on the customer's CAD file.

Our development machine has proven the technology and process, and we are currently recruiting excellent professionals to join our multi-disciplinary R&D team on the path to industrializing the solution.

Job Summary:

The Mechanical Design Engineer designs and coordinates the mechanical design activities related to specific modules or subsystems according to the system specification requirements, schedule, and target costs.
