We’re looking for a senior mechanical systems engineer with an energy for problem solving and a knack for finding clarity from complexity to join our mechanical engineering team. We are a product development company that specialises in deep tech, serving a wide range of industries, including green energy, consumer goods, communications, healthcare and wellbeing, agriculture and food and beverages, with offices and clients around the world.
We are constantly evolving to meet the changing needs of our clients and the novel projects that come our way. As a result, your role will lead you to evolve and adapt to industry shifts, connecting insights from diverse fields in new, inventive ways. You’ll take these concepts and ideas to deliver break-through projects.

You’ll work on projects that involve automation, heating and cooling systems, product design, fluidics and challenging operating environments. These projects may see mass or low production, but consistently involve cross-disciplinary teams and a rapid pace of development.
The variety of projects means you'll consistently face new challenges, providing opportunities to grow and diversify your skills. With frequent new projects and the chance to collaborate with different colleagues each time, you’ll have the freedom to shape your career path and define a specialism through the work and responsibilities you excel in.
We’re looking for someone who carries genuine enthusiasm and excitement for engineering and technology. An undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering (or related subject) or equivalent experience is required.
Ability to design original yet pragmatic solutions to problems using sound engineering judgement and communicate your ideas to colleagues and clients is essential. A strong grasp of systems engineering and the ability to practically apply this to real world applications is necessary, along with a record of developing hardware solutions and testing their performance.
You may also have experience in CAD, design for manufacture, software skills, and other technical competencies that show engineering breadth.
