DRE – Design Release Engineer

About the role

The Design Release Engineer (DRE) will lead the integration of manufacturability, assembly and testing considerations into product designs. You will work across mechanical and electronic domains to ensure designs meet cost, mass and schedule targets while adhering to change management processes.

Key responsibilities

• Incorporate DFM/DFT principles to optimise manufacturability, assembly and testing.
• Manage cost, mass and timing targets for assigned projects.
• Conduct cost analysis, mass estimation and timing planning throughout design development.
• Implement and manage design changes following established procedures.
• Create, modify and analyse detailed engineering models using SolidWorks and CATIA.
• Develop 3D models, assemblies and drawings to communicate design concepts.
• Perform FEA and CFD simulations with ANSYS to assess performance, structural integrity and thermal behaviour.
• Design electronic circuits, capture schematics and layout PCBs using Altium Designer.
• Develop PCB layouts, routing and validation with Mentor Graphics Xpedition.
• Manage design data, documentation and revisions in Siemens Teamcenter PLM.

Required profile

• Ability to manage cost, mass and timing targets for engineering projects.
• Experience applying DFM/DFT principles and conducting cost and mass analyses.
