Job Description

We’re looking for a senior mechanical systems engineer with an energy for problem solving and a knack for finding clarity from complexity to join our mechanical engineering team.

We are a product development company that specialises in deep tech. Clients come to us to develop solutions and products which do not already exist and cannot be easily copied by me-too imitators. We serve a wide range of industries, including green energy, consumer goods, communications, healthcare and wellbeing, agriculture and food and beverages, with offices and clients around the world.

We are constantly evolving to meet the changing needs of our clients’ and the novel projects that come our way. As a result, your role will lead you to evolve and adapt to industry shifts, connecting insights from diverse fields in new, inventive ways. You’ll take these concepts and ideas to deliver break-through projects.

The role

You’ll work alongside colleagues from a wide range of technical disciplines to meet our clients’ needs across the product development spectrum. You’ll break down systems to their core components, revel in the details, and see your work realised in the greater world.

You’ll be exposed to the entire development process from an initial ‘how can we make this better’ statement all the way through to bringing up a factory for production. ‘Typical’ activities you may undertake include:

  • Liaising with clients, defining stakeholder needs, and reporting results
  • Ownership of system level documentation
  • Creation and management of requirement sets to ensure they are appropriate and relevant
  • Scoping and application of standards and regulations for cutting edge products
  • Taking part in concept generation and problem-solving workshops
  • Evaluating ideas using evidence from modelling and simulation or experimentally obtained results
  • Preparation of detailed designs, from system to component level
  • Testing of designs to ensure they meet the client’s and end-customers’ needs
  • Forming and providing technical leadership of project teams

You’ll work on projects that involve automation, heating and cooling systems, product design, fluidics and challenging operating environments. These projects may see mass or low production, but consistently involve cross-disciplinary teams and a rapid pace of development.

The variety of projects means you'll consistently face new challenges, providing opportunities to grow and diversify your skills. With frequent new projects and the chance to collaborate with different colleagues each time, you’ll have the freedom to shape your career path and define a specialism through the work and responsibilities you excel in.

About you

We’re looking for someone who carries genuine enthusiasm and excitement for engineering and technology. You should thrive in a collaborative environment, celebrating team success, and be eager to learn new tools, techniques and perspectives.

You’ll have:

  • An undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering (or related subject) or equivalent experience.
  • Ability to design original yet pragmatic solutions to problems using sound engineering judgement and communicate your ideas to colleagues and clients.
  • A strong grasp of systems engineering and the ability to practically apply this to real world applications.
  • A record of developing hardware solutions and testing their performance
  • You may also have, experience in CAD, design for manufacture, software skills, and other technical competencies that show engineering breadth.
