Mechanical Design Engineer

Description

You’ll work end-to-end balancing creativity and production feasibility, ensuring every concept not only looks exceptional but can be manufactured efficiently without slowing down our production line. If you love engineering with constraints, material science, and making ideas workable in the real world, you’ll excel here.

• You’ll bring structure to complexity, helping organise drawings, project files, categories, and workflows in a high-velocity project environment.
• Identify issues early, troubleshoot quickly, and propose elegant, feasible solutions.
• You’ll work closely with industrial designers, production, engineers, and project teams—turning creative ideas into practical, manufacturable designs.
• Categorise and structure project files, drawings, and documentation to streamline workflows.
• Keep up with new materials, technologies, processes, and trends in the lighting and mechanical engineering space.
• Create precise technical drawings, 3D models, specifications and BOMs using CAD (SolidWorks/AutoCAD).
• Apply strong knowledge of metal properties, tolerances, thermal behaviour, and fabrication constraints.
• You’ll deepen your expertise in materials, metal properties, and best-in-class fabrication techniques.
• Design and develop bespoke mechanical components and lighting systems for unique projects.
• You’ll design custom, inventive lighting solutions seen in real commercial spaces and large-scale architectural projects.
• Engineer solutions that balance creativity with manufacturability—ensuring designs do not disrupt production flow.
• Work closely with manufacturing teams to optimise for assembly, tooling, extrusion, bending, machining, and fabrication.
• Participate in prototyping, testing, and iterative refinement cycles.
• Collaborate with industrial designers to align aesthetics with engineering practicality.

Requirements

We’re looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer who thrives in a fast-paced environment where no two projects are the same. You’ll be part of our bespoke linear lighting division, designing unique solutions for major commercial and infrastructure projects across Australia.

If you enjoy solving complex problems, turning creative concepts into manufacturable reality, and bringing order to chaos. This role is built for you.

This is the perfect role for someone who loves blending design, engineering, problem-solving, and production logic.

• Organised, structured, and able to bring order to multiple fast-moving projects.
• Ability to engineer creative solutions within technical and manufacturing boundaries.
• Open Communication: Your input matters—ideas flow freely in every direction.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team.
• Solid proficiency in CAD (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or similar).
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
• 4+ years’ industry experience—lighting experience a strong advantage, but not essential.
• Strong attention to detail, accuracy, and design integrity.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to explain concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Proven mechanical design experience with a strong understanding of metal materials and manufacturing processes.

Benefits

• Positive Work Environment: Supportive, inclusive, and built on respect, safety, and collaboration.
• Mobility Program: Explore internal career paths, new challenges, and international opportunities.
• Career Growth: Join a global business with genuine development pathways and continuous learning opportunities.
• Strong Team Culture: Friendly, diverse, and united by trust and collaboration.
• Wellbeing & Benefits: EAP support, partner discounts, bonus scheme, additional parental leave, and more.
