mechanical engineering.

For the Principal/Senior Mechanical Engineer - Mechanical Systems search, please prioritize candidates who have developed complex physical products, machines, mechanisms, or precision mechatronic equipment, rather than candidates focused primarily on CAD modelling or plant/process engineering.

Priority target industries / products:

1. High-speed sorting, grading and inspection machines
2. Optical sorting and machine-vision equipment
3. Semiconductor manufacturing and inspection equipment
4. Laboratory automation and scientific instruments
5. Medical devices and automated diagnostic equipment
6. Robotics and high-speed automation systems
7. Precision mechatronic equipment
8. Special-purpose machines and automated machinery
9. Precision motion and positioning systems
10. Opto-mechanical and imaging equipment
11. Automated material/product handling equipment
12. High-speed packaging, printing, scanning or similar precision machinery
13. Aerospace electromechanical systems, mechanisms and precision equipment

Candidate experience we particularly value:

Machine design, mechanisms, dynamics, vibration, bearings/shafts, motors and actuators, precision assemblies, GD&T and tolerance stack-ups, materials, fatigue, thermal effects, failure/root-cause analysis, DFM/DFA, prototype development, engineering validation and troubleshooting of real machines.

Candidates should be capable of first-principles mechanical engineering and engineering calculations, not simply CAD modelling.

Please avoid profiles predominantly from:

Oil & gas, petrochemical, conventional energy/power, EPC, piping, pressure vessels, static structures, civil/structural engineering, HVAC, plant maintenance, and pure CAD/drafting.

Automotive and aerospace candidates can be considered where their experience is genuinely in product/mechanism/mechatronic engineering, rather than predominantly production operations, quality, plant engineering or structural analysis.

The key requirement is a strong mechanical engineer who understands the physics of machines and can solve difficult real-world mechanical problems, rather than simply someone who is highly proficient in CAD software.
