Mechanical Engineer Role
We are seeking a highly skilled mechanical engineer to join our team working on cutting-edge research and development projects. This is a hands-on role where you will contribute to the design and manufacture of critical components for prototype and experimental systems.
* Supporting R&D activities through mechanical engineering design and drafting
* Managing and coordinating component fabrication and acceptance
* Maintaining engineering management tools and documentation
* Collaborating closely with engineers, drafters, and technicians
* Converting early concepts and research ideas into detailed prototype designs
* Providing practical engineering input to support trials, testing, and jigs
To be successful in this role, you will require:
* Degree-qualified in Mechanical Engineering (or a related field)
* Proficient in multiple CAD packages (NX highly desirable)
* Skilled in producing detailed manufacturing drawings
* Capable of performing finite element analysis (FEA) and structural analysis
* Comfortable working onsite in a collaborative, research-heavy environment
* A strong communicator who can challenge ideas constructively and support the team's vision
This is an exciting opportunity to work on innovative defence technology projects, be part of a high-calibre engineering environment, and see designs through from concept to prototype to testing.
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills are essential in this role, as you will work closely with engineers, draftspersons, technicians, and research teams to translate complex technical concepts into clear, actionable information.
About the Job
This is a challenging and rewarding role that requires a strong foundation in mechanical engineering principles, excellent problem-solving skills, and the ability to work effectively in a team environment.
You will have the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects, from design and development to testing and evaluation, and will be supported by a experienced team of engineers and technicians.
We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, as well as opportunities for professional development and career advancement.
If you are a motivated and talented individual with a passion for mechanical engineering, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.
