Mechanical Design Engineer

Contract Length: 3 to 6 Months with a potential to go permanent

Location: Oakley, Bedfordshire (3 days onsite a week)

In this role, you will be heavily involved in the entire product development lifecycle-from early conceptual design and prototyping to integration, verification, and testing. If you have a passion for electric propulsion, eVTOL applications, and creating zero-compromise engineering solutions, we want you on our team.

• Design & Innovate: Drive day-to-day CAD design activities using CAE, CAD, and CAM tools to develop innovative product concepts, prototypes, and metallic/composite components.

• Integrate Next-Gen Tech: Support payload and propulsion system integration (including all-electric and eVTOL applications). Work closely with the aircraft concepts team to assess performance impacts and drive aircraft-level optimization.

• Own the Lifecycle: Contribute to design, integration, verification, and testing from concept through to final assembly and manufacture.

• Ensure Quality & Compliance: Prepare and maintain rigorous engineering documentation, specifications, drawings (to recognized standards), DFMEAs, and risk assessments.
