Lead Mechanical Engineer Are you the kind of engineer who prefers testing hardware in the real world rather than just simulating it on a screen? Do you enjoy pushing materials, systems, and designs to their limits? We’re working with an ambitious engineering team developing next-generation hardware designed to operate in some of the harshest environments on Earth. This is a lead, hands-on role in a fast-moving, startup-style environment, where engineers take real ownership. You’ll play a key role in shaping the mechanical design of critical systems — leading development from early concept through to real-world deployment. If you enjoy building, testing, iterating, and solving tough engineering problems with a small, high-performing team, this is the kind of role where you’ll thrive. What you’ll be doing Leading the design and development of cold-hardened mechanical systems Taking ownership of hardware from concept through to production and deployment Developing systems capable of operating under extreme thermal and mechanical stress Driving materials selection, sealing strategies, and structural design for harsh environments Building and testing prototypes, including cold chamber validation Working closely with electrical, RF, software, and systems engineers in a highly collaborative team What we’re looking for 7 years’ experience developing real-world hardware Degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering Strong 3D CAD skills (Siemens NX, SolidWorks, or similar) Experience taking products from concept to production, including DFMA A hands-on engineer who enjoys prototyping, testing, and solving real-world problems Apply today or contact Gemma for more information!
