Are you an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer ready to take the lead on cutting-edge aerospace projects?
Our client – a global leader in advanced aircraft lighting solutions – is seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer to join their growing engineering team. This is your chance to work on next-generation technology that is transforming the cabin experience for leading global airlines.
With a rich history of engineering innovation and now part of a larger international technology group, this company offers an exciting opportunity to make a real impact in the aerospace industry.
The Role:
As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you’ll take ownership of the design and development of advanced lighting systems – from concept through to production. You’ll work across a multidisciplinary team and collaborate with major aircraft manufacturers to deliver high-quality, safety-critical solutions.
This is a high-visibility role ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys solving technical challenges, and wants to work at the forefront of aerospace innovation.
Key Responsibilities:
* Lead the mechanical design of components, assemblies, and systems throughout the full product lifecycle.
* Produce CAD models, detailed technical drawings, and documentation to support production and certification.
* Perform engineering analysis (stress, thermal, FEA, tolerance).
* Collaborate closely with internal teams and external partners, including aircraft OEMs.
* Ensure compliance with relevant aerospace standards (FAA, EASA, AS9100).
* Support prototyping, testing, and troubleshooting of designs.
* Apply DFM principles to create efficient and production-ready solutions
What We’re Looking For:
* Degree-qualified in Mechanical Engineering (BEng/MEng or equivalent).
* 7+ years of mechanical design experience, ideally within aerospace or a regulated industry.
* Proficiency in CAD tools such as SolidWorks (or similar).
* Strong understanding of materials, manufacturing methods, and design for manufacturing.
* A proactive, hands-on problem solver with great attention to detail.
* Collaborative team player with excellent communication skills.
Why Apply?
You’ll be joining a collaborative, forward-thinking engineering team in a company that’s genuinely reshaping the aviation industry. If you want to lead innovative projects, work with major global clients, and see your designs fly — this is the opportunity for you
