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
