  • Improve engineering processes where you see a better way to work.
  • Keep projects aligned with ISO, quality, health and safety expectations.

The technical depth you'll bring.

  • Broad experience across mechanical and electronics design, manufacture and test.
  • 3D CAD capability, ideally SolidWorks, though other platforms are welcome.
  • Understanding of schematic capture and electrical design principles.
  • Experience with high-level system design.
  • Knowledge of chassis, mechanical assemblies and electrical assemblies.
  • Practical exposure to DFMA, DFMEA and design for test.
  • Awareness of safety, EMC, environmental or defence-related standards.
  • Familiarity with software or firmware environments, including Windows, Linux, microcontrollers or RTOS.

The essentials.

  • Technical project leadership experience in a high-tech engineering environment.
  • Strong knowledge of electronics, Embedded systems or complex engineered products.
  • Mechanical, Mechatronics or relevant Engineering degree, or equivalent experience.
  • British passport holder due to MOD-related work.
