Mechanical Design Engineer

We are looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer to join an innovative engineering team developing advanced RF, microwave, aerospace, defence and telecommunications products.

Key Responsibilities

• Design precision mechanical components and assemblies using SolidWorks.
• Develop lightweight, thermally efficient enclosures, heatsinks and structural assemblies.
• Conduct thermal and structural analysis (FEA/CFD) to validate designs.
• Work closely with RF, electronics and manufacturing teams to optimise product performance.
• Produce engineering drawings, BOMs and manufacturing documentation.
• Support prototype builds, testing, production introduction and engineering change activities.
• Drive design for manufacture, assembly, reliability and cost reduction.

Requirements

• Degree qualified in Mechanical Engineering or similar.
• Strong 3D CAD skills, ideally SolidWorks.
• Experience designing precision mechanical assemblies.
• Good understanding of manufacturing processes, materials and GD&T.
• Knowledge of PCB integration, EMI shielding and engineering drawing standards.
• Ability to work effectively within multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Desirable

• Experience within aerospace, defence, telecoms, space or other high-reliability industries.
• Knowledge of RF/microwave products, waveguides or high-frequency systems.
• Experience with FEA, CFD or thermal analysis tools.
• Familiarity with PDM/PLM systems and engineering change processes.

This is an excellent opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology from concept through to production within a highly collaborative engineering environment.
