Imagine being the go-to mechanical expert in a rapidly growing engineering team, trusted to make decisions, shape design culture, and bring technically innovative products to life. This is a unique opportunity to work on highly complex, high-spec electro-mechanical systems that push the boundaries of engineering.
You will lead the mechanical design and development of products from initial concept through CAD modelling, testing, iteration, and production. You will remain hands-on, solving technical challenges creatively, applying your expertise, and mentoring others as the team grows.
Autonomy is real in this role. You will be trusted to make decisions without red tape, balancing risk, speed, and quality, while collaborating with colleagues across electronics, software, and systems disciplines to deliver fully integrated solutions. You will see the full product lifecycle, designing entire systems rather than just components, and helping shape engineering standards for the future.
The environment is start-up in spirit but secure in reality. With ambitious expansion plans, a team that is scaling fast, and multiple new products on the horizon, you will be at the heart of growth and innovation. You will join a small, passionate team where every contribution matters, and you will see the direct impact of your work on the success of the business and the products in the field.
You will have a great platform to progress into more senior roles across the business. The company also offers an excellent bonus platform where you can earn based on company and personal performance.
