• Proficiency in 3D CAD systems, ideally CATIA V6 / 3Dx, and the ability to work to tight deadlines.
• Strong understanding of mechanical design principles, with excellent attention to detail and quality.
• Experience in hydraulic systems design is desirable but not essential for all roles.
• Proven ability to approach problems creatively and analytically in a fast-paced engineering environment.
• Clear and effective communication skills, both verbal and written.
• Highly motivated, adaptable, and capable of working both independently and as part of a team.
