As a Junior Mechanical Engineer at Magdrive, you will support the design, build and testing of mechanical components for our next generation spacecraft propulsion systems. Working closely with senior engineers, you’ll help develop propulsion hardware, assist with experimental test rigs and test campaigns, and support subsystem integration across mechanical, electrical and software teams. This is a hands on role where you will develop practical engineering experience while contributing to hardware that moves Magdrive technology from concept to flight ready systems.
Job Responsibility:
Support the design and development of mechanical components and assemblies for propulsion and propellant handling systems
Assist with building, operating, and maintaining test rigs and experimental hardware under guidance from senior engineers
Help plan and run test activities, including setting up instrumentation, capturing data, and recording results
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)
