xyz-reality - Mechanical Engineer (Wearable Systems)
Requirements
• ────────────────────────────── • Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Product Design Engineering, or a related discipline, with 3–5 years of product development experience from concept through prototype and into production. • Strong SolidWorks CAD experience — including 3D modelling, assemblies, engineering drawings, and manufacturing documentation — with a solid grasp of tolerance analysis, material selection, and mechanical design principles. • Practical, hands-on prototyping and workshop skills, with experience working across manufacturing processes including injection moulding, machining, sheet metal fabrication, and additive manufacturing. • Experience working with external suppliers and manufacturers, and comfortable operating within a fast-paced, multidisciplinary engineering team. Familiarity with PPE, wearable products, or certification standards (ANSI, EN397, CE, UKCA) is a strong advantage. • SolidWorks CAD — 3D design, assemblies & engineering drawings • ANSI Type II / EN397 certification & regulatory testing • Wearable product design — helmets, PPE & head-mounted systems • DFM / DFA & manufacturing transition support • Sensor, optics, battery & electronics integration into wearables • Hands-on prototyping, practical workshop & problem-solving skills
Responsibilities
• ────────────────────────────── • Design and develop helmet-mounted AR systems and accessories using SolidWorks — producing 3D models, assemblies, engineering drawings, and full production documentation to a high standard. • Support ANSI Type II and EN397 certification programmes — designing for compliance from the outset, coordinating with certification bodies and testing laboratories, and supporting environmental, drop, impact, vibration, and ingress testing activities. • Integrate sensor systems, batteries, antennas, optics, cameras, and electronics into compact wearable platforms — with attention to thermal management, electronics packaging, and wearable ergonomics throughout. • Lead and support DFM and DFA activities — ensuring designs are manufacturable at scale, generating assembly instructions and engineering change documentation, and supporting production introduction and manufacturing transition. • Work with external suppliers, contract manufacturers, and certification laboratories — managing relationships, reviewing outputs, and ensuring components and systems meet design intent and regulatory requirements. • Collaborate closely with Hardware, Embedded, Production, Software, and R&D teams — participating in concept generation, design reviews, prototyping, and validation activities across the full development programme.
Benefits
• ────────────────────────────── • 🏝️ 25 days annual leave + public holidays • 🩺 Private healthcare with Vitality • 🎄 Christmas shutdown days on top of leave allowance (2–4 per year usually) • 🏠 Hybrid working • 🥳 Summer & Christmas staff parties • 💰 Employee referral scheme • 🚀 Make a real-world impact of revolutionising the construction industry
