Mechanical Engineer

This is an exciting opportunity for a Mechanical Engineer to join a specialist engineering team working on advanced, high-performance systems used in demanding real-world environments. You’ll be involved across the full product lifecycle - from early design and development through to prototyping, testing, and continuous improvement of complex mechanical assemblies that sit at the heart of cutting-edge technology. The organisation is known for its innovation in high-reliability engineering, working at the intersection of mechanical design, electronics, and advanced system integration.

Its products support navigation and situational awareness in complex and demanding settings. What You’ll Be Doing: Playing a key role in mechanical design and development activities within a structured engineering environment Supporting the evolution and enhancement of existing products to meet evolving technical and operational requirements Producing detailed engineering drawings, CAD models, and technical documentation that directly support project delivery Contributing to the estimation of effort, cost, and timescales for design and development work Getting hands-on with prototype build, assembly, and testing activities for new and evolving systems Supporting the implementation of engineering changes and improvements across live projects Working closely with wider engineering, production, and project teams to ensure smooth delivery Occasionally travelling within the UK to support testing, build, or project activities where required What We’re Looking For: Ability to read, interpret, and work confidently from technical drawings and engineering documentation Strong IT capability, particularly across Microsoft Office tools and engineering databases Ability to produce clear, accurate, and well-structured technical documentation A logical and analytical approach to problem solving, with strong attention to detail Confident communicator who can work effectively across engineering and non-engineering teams Self-driven, organised, and comfortable managing your own workload Able to stay calm and effective when working to tight deadlines or changing priorities Practical, adaptable mindset with a willingness to get involved in hands-on engineering work Degree (or equivalent) in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related discipline What Makes This Role Interesting: You’ll be working on technically challenging systems where mechanical design directly impacts real-world performance and reliability. The role offers a mix of design office work and hands-on engineering, including prototype development and testing, giving you end-to-end exposure to how complex systems are built and refined.
