Open in Job ExplorerWhat the work can involve
Engine designers work with mechanical concepts, part requirements, CAD drawings, materials and performance targets. They may also follow installation and maintenance questions after the design leaves the drawing stage.
Skills and specializations
Useful depth includes CAD and 3D modelling, engine performance evaluation, vehicle or machine systems, design reviews, material calculations and quality standards. Collaboration with engineers and designers is usually central.
Salary context
Pay is likely to reflect design responsibility, technical complexity, approval authority, experience with engine performance and accountability for cost, materials or installation decisions.
Career paths
Experience can lead toward senior mechanical design, engine performance engineering, design approval, product development or technical project coordination for machine and engine systems.
Good to know
Read adverts for the exact product area: engines, vehicles, machines or mechanical equipment. Strong adverts should name design tools, review routines, performance targets and handover to production or maintenance.
