Senior Product Engineer

Armagh

We are delighted to partner with a long-established, family-run business in the Armagh area that takes great pride in its rich heritage; they never stand still. Engineering with our client isn't about sitting behind a screen, tweaking minor components for mass-production lines. It's about practical innovation, hands-on problem-solving, and seeing your ideas built on the workshop floor.

This is a role where you can genuinely say your product design and innovation have changed someone's life. Not many jobs offer that sense of pride.

The Role

This position offers a rare balance in modern engineering: the opportunity to work with established platforms while applying fresh, creative design thinking to solve complex engineering challenges. You will be responsible for the production of CAD models and work side by side with the manufacturing team to see your ideas and designs brought to life.

You will be responsible for the following day-to-day duties:

• Use SolidWorks to create practical 3D designs, technical drawings, and modifications focused on Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFM/DFA).

• Write clear build manuals, work instructions, and step-by-step guides so assembly teams can build efficiently and safely.

• Spend time on the workshop floor during prototype builds, troubleshooting assembly challenges and helping the production team resolve real-time technical issues.

• Navigate regulatory requirements to ensure every product is fully compliant, safe, and built the first time correctly.

• Manage the full project lifecycle, coordinating with sales, procurement, stores, and external suppliers to keep projects on schedule.

• Use structured problem-solving to resolve quality issues at the source and continuously improve build processes.

• Plan and support testing (including occasional travel for specialised testing) to validate new designs before full rollout.

• Any other necessary duties

The Person

• Degree in Mechanical or related Engineering discipline (or equivalent experience/working towards).

• Minimum of 4 years in a Project or Design Engineering role within a manufacturing or assembly environment.

• A solid grasp of steelwork, fabrication processes, assembly sequencing, and hands-on production support.

• Experience using structured problem-solving methods to get to the root of technical challenges.

• Ability to explain technical ideas clearly, listen to feedback from shop-floor technicians, and build strong relationships across teams.

Desirable Experience:

• Practical electrical or wiring troubleshooting knowledge.

• Exposure to ERP systems and Lean / Continuous Improvement tools.

Why this role?

• The opportunity to apply real engineering innovation to products that directly improve people's lives
