About the Role
We are seeking a talented and self-driven Mechanical Engineer to join our team on a part-time, project-based basis. This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys variety, problem solving, and seeing R&D concepts evolve from scope to delivery. You are a good communicator with detailed work and enjoy working under your own supervision.
Key Responsibilities
* Scope out and plan R&D tasks with defined deliverables and milestones.
* Design and develop components using Fusion 360 or equivalent CAD software.
* Prepare detailed parts lists, source suppliers, and place orders with manufacturers.
* Contribute to a range of small and large-scale R&D projects across multiple disciplines.
* Work independently from home, delivering outcomes on agreed timelines.
About You
* Degree in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent experience).
* Strong capability in CAD design (Fusion 360 or similar).
* Practical knowledge of R&D project lifecycles – from concept to prototype.
* Highly organised, self-motivated, and able to deliver without supervision.
* Comfortable working to milestone-based agreements rather than hourly billing.
What We Offer
* Flexible, work-from-home arrangement.
* Involvement in diverse and innovative R&D projects.
* Milestone-based remuneration – agreed price per task with clear deliverables.
* The chance to work closely with an inventive and forward-looking team.
If you're passionate about engineering, thrive on variety, and want to be part of cutting-edge R&D work, we'd love to hear from you.
