Senior Mechanical Engineer

THE ROLE

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you will be responsible for:
Lead engineering phases, ensuring on-time, high-quality project delivery

Design/process FMEA, and geometric dimensioning & tolerancing.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with propulsion, electrical, software, manufacturing, range operations, and quality to integrate mechanical systems seamlessly.

Eliminate failure modes and support product development and re-engineering initiatives

Contribute to QMS audits

Documentation and Compliance: Maintain technical documentation and ensure designs meet safety standards, quality standards and regulatory codes.

Demonstrate a strong sense of ownership for projects and products and become a subject matter expert for stakeholders

Assist & mentor the Engineering design team

Criteria - Required

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Aerospace or related engineering, 5 years + experience.

Proficiency with parametric CAD (Autodesk Fusion or equivalent) and PDM/PLM for revision control and release management

Experience with prototype building, jigs, fixtures, tooling, and manufacturability optimization.

Proficiency with parametric CAD (Autodesk Fusion or equivalent) and PDM/PLM for revision control and release management

Knowledge of design for manufacture and advanced manufacturing techniques

Experience in compliance documentation, reporting, and regulatory standards.

Strong problem-solving, communication, and ability to work independently or cross-functionally under pressure.

Experience within an AS9100 QMS — engineering change control (ECR/ECO), non-conformance management and configuration discipline as practice, not theory

Ability to obtain a National Security Clearance. This requires candidates to be Australian citizens

Criteria - Desired
