Mechanical Design Engineer
Timoney are long-standing vehicle design specialists, with 58 years working on heavy-duty vehicle systems across the international marketplace. Today, Timoney remains an agile engineering company, now, significantly strengthened through its partnership with Kessler & Co, bringing enhanced manufacturing capabilities to complement our extensive experience and vehicle knowledge.
Our core strength lies in ride and handling for off-road vehicles: beginning at the driver's seat and ending where the tyre meets the ground. Timoney designs, prototypes and tests complete drivetrains to meet client vehicle requirements while delivering solutions optimising vehicle dynamics through cutting-edge modelling and simulation techniques.
Our clients include leading vehicle OEMs and highly specialised operators worldwide. Timoney drivetrains are trusted in airport rescue and firefighting vehicles, municipal fire trucks, logistics trucks, military platforms, dump trucks, unmanned vehicles, and other applications where rugged design and reliability are essential to high performance in the most demanding environments.
Timoney engineers the world's toughest drivetrains for the world's toughest mechanical and hybrid-electric vehicles - turning torque into traction through every gear and shaft.
