  • Document designs, tests, and outcomes clearly (drawings, BoMs, test notes, and procedures)
  • Work closely with electrical, software, and physics teammates to help integrate and debug subsystems
  • Support suppliers and workshop activities such as machining, assembly, and basic tooling
  • Take ownership of well-defined tasks or subsystems, with increasing responsibility as experience grows

Requirements

  • Degree (BEng/MEng/MSc) in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or similar discipline
  • 1-2 years of experience in mechanical design
  • Experience running test campaigns
  • Hands-on mechanical build or prototyping experience (university projects, internships, or early career roles)
  • Mechanical design skills using a professional CAD tool (e.g. SolidWorks)

Nice to have

  • Experience in space hardware, propulsion, or high-reliability mechanical systems
  • Knowledge of manufacturing processes, engineering materials and GD&T
  • Experience with HV electronics mechanical design
  • Introductory experience with FEA or simulation tools
  • Experience writing technical documentation, lab notes, or test reports
  • Familiarity with control and data analysis scripting (e.g. Python)
  • Experience using digital tools in engineering workflows (PLM, PDM, task management, etc)

What we offer

  • 25 days annual leave + bank holidays + Birthdays, and long-service awards (up to 30 days)
  • Private medical insurance
  • Flexible working hours
  • Remote working where possible
  • Financial support for home office setup
