Mechanical Engineer

Mechanical Engineer

Meticulous and methodical person with good communication skills, keen team player

whilst capable of utilising own initiative and motivation. Possessing a strong mechanical aptitude having achieved a sound foundation in engineering design disciplines and practices. A comprehensive knowledge of engineering design developed from a genuine enthusiasm for the subject. An enthusiastic fast learner committed to achieving his objectives.

Key Responsibilities:

• Degree (BEng/MEng) in Mechanical, Aerospace, Mechatronics, or related engineering discipline


• Proficiency in 3D CAD (SolidWorks, CATIA, or Siemens NX) with strong drafting, GD\&T, and small\-part detailing skills


• Demonstrable interest in lightweight structural design topology optimisation, lattice structures, thin\-walled and monocoque construction


• Working knowledge of FEA (ANSYS, Nastran, or similar) for stiffness, mass, modal, and thermal analysis on weight\-critical assemblies


• Exposure to PCB\-level mechanical integration enclosure design, board mounting, connector layout, EMI shielding, and thermal pathing for electronics


• Understanding of materials and processes suited to mass reduction: aluminium and titanium alloys, carbon composites, advanced polymers, and metal/polymer additive manufacturing


• Solid grasp of engineering fundamentals statics, dynamics, vibration, heat transfer, and tolerance stack\-ups in tightly packaged assemblies


• Hands\-on instinct comfortable prototyping, building, testing, and iterating in a lab or workshop setting


• Clear technical communication across mechanical and electronics teams able to translate between a PCB layout and a mechanical enclosure


• Self\-starter mindset, thrives in a fast\-moving start\-up where ownership is expected from day one

• Exposure to space, defence, or other regulated/high\-reliability sectors


• Experience designing mechanical interfaces for microelectronics, sensors, MEMS, or optical payloads


• Familiarity with thermal management for densely packed electronics (heat pipes, conductive straps, TIMs)


• Exposure to space, defence, or other high\-reliability sectors with strict mass budgets


• Knowledge of qualification environments — vibration, shock, thermal vacuum, outgassing (ECSS, NASA\-STD)
