For more information, visit www.zuru.com About the Role As a Graduate Engineer at ZURU Tech, you’ll join the Housing Engineering team building the future of construction, a fully automated, end‑to‑end system for designing and manufacturing buildings. Working alongside experienced mechanical and design engineers, you’ll take ownership of real design problems: developing components and assemblies in CAD, prototyping and testing them, and iterating toward manufacturable, high‑quality solutions. It’s a role built for a graduate who wants to grow fast, ship real product, and see their designs go from screen to factory floor. Roles & Responsibilities Design and develop mechanical components, assemblies, and product systems in SolidWorks, taking concepts through to detailed, manufacturable designs. Own scoped design work end to end - concept, CAD, drawings, prototyping, testing, and release to manufacturing. Apply engineering first principles (statics, mechanics of materials, tolerancing, and material selection) to make sound, justifiable design decisions. Build and test physical prototypes, capturing and analysing results to drive design iterations. Design for manufacture and assembly (DFM/DFA), working closely with the manufacturing team to keep designs practical and cost‑effective to produce. Prepare clear engineering documentation, drawings, GD&T, calculation packs, and technical reports, to a checkable standard. Research materials, components, standards, and manufacturing methods to inform and de‑risk designs. Collaborate across design, structural, and manufacturing teams to carry engineering intent through to production, and contribute ideas that improve the product and the process. Skills & Experience A Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Mechanical, Mechatronics, or Product Design Engineering - completed or about to be. Strong engineering fundamentals: statics, mechanics of materials, manufacturing methods, and design for manufacture. Proficient in 3D CAD (SolidWorks preferred) with a solid grasp of engineering drawings, tolerancing, and material selection; Python or other scripting is a plus. A hands‑on, iterative mindset - comfortable prototyping, testing, and learning fast, with strong problem‑solving and attention to detail. A clear communicator and collaborative team player, driven to take ownership and grow quickly in a fast‑paced environment.
