- Designing and developing mechanical components and assemblies
- Creating detailed CAD models, engineering drawings and technical documentation
- Supporting mechanical, structural and thermal analysis to validate designs
- Working across engineering disciplines to develop and optimise design solutions
- Contributing to design reviews, testing, integration and qualification
- Working closely with manufacturing partners to ensure designs are practical, manufacturable and meet quality requirements
- Solving design challenges and driving improvements throughout the product development lifecycle
- Supporting the delivery of engineering projects against technical requirements and timescales
We’re looking for:
- Proven experience as a Mechanical Design Engineer within the space industry
- Experience designing mechanical components and assemblies for space or other high-reliability applications
- Strong knowledge of mechanical design, materials, manufacturing processes and Design for Manufacture
- Experience with CAD and engineering analysis tools such as Creo, NX, SolidWorks, ANSYS or equivalent
- Experience producing detailed engineering drawings, with a good understanding of GD&T; and precision tolerancing
If you enjoy taking designs from concept through to real hardware and want to work on technically demanding products for the space sector, this could be a great opportunity.
