Junior Mechanical Engineer - Math, Physics & Robust Design Engineering, 6 Months Contract

The role involves joining the Exploration Engineering team for a 6-month contract to develop future capabilities for LEGO elements, focusing on ensuring high controllability and improving quality approval. Specific tasks include redesigning the standard LEGO connector matrix using math and physics, building predictable connector designs, and transferring complex geometry development to a simplified standard.

Responsibilities

• Redesign the current standard LEGO connector matrix (clutch ability) with a math and physics approach
• Build connector designs with predictable performance on functional measurements, lowering variance sensitivity
• Transfer complex geometry development to a new simplified standard UDF, making it easily applicable for element developers
• Ensure a high level of innovation in technical solutions applying solid business understanding
• Deliver CAD files and specifications covering new complex LEGO elements
• Adhere to fully objective and quantifiable criteria through math, physics and geometry
• Play your part in our team succeeding

Requirements

• Background within Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Technology or equivalent
• Strong interest in robust design principles, plastic materials, mechanics or moulding technologies
• Strong capabilities of geometry, math, physics and materials, with the ability to apply these into early-stage design processes
• Kinematic design and design clarity understanding, enabling you to sketch robust design geometry with clear intent and degree of freedom, avoiding over-constrained mechanisms or ambiguity
• Ability to identify and evaluate design parameters through a Design of Experiments approach (DOE)
• Experience with MatCAD, Python and 3D CAD design will be an advantage
• Proven analytical competencies within data management and execution of data-driven performances
• Phenomenal communication, collaboration and capability-building skills being able to establish positive relationships with partners and colleagues while seeking and challenging strong technical solutions
• Proficient in English both written and spoken

Benefits

• Family Care Leave - We offer enhanced paid leave options for those important times
• Insurances – All colleagues are covered by our life and disability insurance which provides protection and peace of mind
• Wellbeing - We want our people to feel well and thrive
• Colleague Discount – We know you'll love to build, so from day 1 you will qualify for our generous colleague discount
• Bonus - We do our best work to succeed together
• Workplace - When you join the team you'll be assigned a primary workplace location i.e. one of our Offices, stores or factories
