Mechanical Engineer

The Role

We are looking for a Mechanical Engineer to support an exciting V-Band High Power Amplifier (HPA) project, as it moves from detailed design into prototype build, testing and evaluation.

This is a hands-on role focused on helping take the hardware through the final stages of development.

What You'll Be Doing

• Supporting the completion of outstanding mechanical design activities.
• Producing and updating CAD models, drawings, assemblies and BOMs.
• Supporting prototype builds, assembly and integration of hardware.
• Writing test plans, test procedures and test schedules.
• Setting up, commissioning and carrying out prototype testing.
• Supporting thermal, vibration and environmental testing.
• Investigating test failures and identifying mechanical issues.
• Implementing design modifications and supporting re-testing.
• Analysing test results and producing technical reports and recommendations.
• Managing engineering changes, revisions and configuration-controlled documentation.
• Producing manufacturing and assembly documentation.
• Working with suppliers and manufacturing teams to resolve build issues.
• Supporting design reviews and project milestones.

What We're Looking For

We're particularly interested in Mechanical Engineers with a strong background in prototype development and testing.

You should have:

• Mechanical engineering experience within a prototype or product development environment.
• Hands-on experience supporting prototype builds and engineering testing.
• Experience writing test plans, test scripts, procedures or schedules.
• Experience physically setting up and executing tests.
• Exposure to thermal, vibration, shock or environmental testing.
• Strong mechanical design and CAD experience.
• Experience with engineering drawings, BOMs and change control.
• Good understanding of manufacturing and assembly techniques.
• Strong practical problem-solving skills and a hands-on approach.
• Experience analysing test results and producing technical documentation.
