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 full ownership from concept through to deployment.
You’ll play a key role in shaping the mechanical design of critical systems, leading development from early-stage concepts through to real‑world testing and operational use. If you enjoy building, testing, iterating, and solving complex engineering challenges within a small, high‑performing team, this is a role where you’ll thrive.
What you’ll be doing
* Leading the design and development of ruggedised, cold‑hardened mechanical systems
* Taking full ownership of hardware from concept through to production and field 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 validation in environmental and cold chamber conditions
* 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
* Experience working within Aerospace or Defence industries (essential)
* Strong 3D CAD skills (Siemens NX, SolidWorks, or similar)
* Proven experience taking products from concept to production, including DFMA
* A hands‑on engineer who enjoys prototyping, testing, and solving real‑world engineering problems
