About the work
We design and build special purpose machines that inspect automotive and aerospace components using machine vision. Our ScanLine platform covers pierced hole checking, welded nut and stud verification, profile measurement, marking and automatic reject sorting, running loose parts on a conveyor across a whole part family with changeover.
We are looking for a subcontract machine design engineer to work alongside our engineering team on live customer builds. This is real hardware for real production lines, not concept work.
What you will do
Take a customer part family and a functional brief through to a complete machine general arrangement: conveyor, frame, inspection portal, sensor mounting, reject handling, marking station and guarding.
Size drives, actuators and structure from first principles. We expect to see the arithmetic behind a motor selection, a cylinder bore, a spring rate or a beam section, not a catalogue part number with no working behind it.




Build the layout parametrically so the whole machine re-sizes from the part envelope rather than from scattered literals.
Design the safety guarding to ISO 13857 and ISO 12100, including reach distances, opening sizes, tunnel guards and interlock positions, and be able to defend those distances in a design review.
Produce the release package: SolidWorks models, STEP, drawings with GD&T; and a tolerance scheme, sheet metal flat patterns as DXF, BOM with bought-in part selections, and a Pack and Go.
Work with our vision team on camera standoff, field of view, lighting geometry and sensor mounting so the optics and the mechanics agree with each other.
Sit in design reviews and take direct technical criticism well. Our reviews are detailed and we expect the same back.
What we need from you
5 or more years designing special purpose machines, assembly automation, conveying systems or inspection cells that were actually built and commissioned.
Robust SolidWorks. You author proper B-rep models with datums, tol
