Mechanical Engineer (Consumer Hardware) Full-Time | Hybrid (London) | £45,000–£65,000 Bonus Share Options About the Opportunity They are building the future of digital sports coaching. By combining sensor-driven hardware, AI, biomechanics, and real-time feedback , they are creating a product that helps athletes improve faster and get more from their sport. Their technology sits at the intersection of hardware, mobile, and data science, with a strong focus on building systems that perform reliably in the real world, not just in controlled environments. This is an opportunity to join a team working on a highly tangible, data-driven product where engineering quality directly impacts user experience. The Role They are looking for a Mechanical Engineer to design and deliver robust, production-ready hardware for their core product, while also contributing to early-stage R&D for future innovations. This is a hands-on role spanning concept development, prototyping, and scaling products for manufacture - ideal for someone who enjoys seeing ideas through from initial concept to real-world use. What They’ll Be Doing Design and develop consumer hardware products with a focus on durability, usability, and manufacturability Apply design for manufacturing (DFM) principles to deliver products at scale Build and iterate on early-stage prototypes and R&D platforms for next-generation sensing technology Work closely with manufacturing partners to ensure consistent product quality Collaborate with electronics and firmware engineers to integrate complete hardware systems Support investigation and resolution of real-world product issues alongside customer-facing teams What They’re Looking For 3–8 years of experience in mechanical engineering Background in consumer electronics, wearables, medical devices, or consultancy Strong understanding of core mechanical engineering principles and their real-world application Experience designing for volume production (10,000 units/year) Ability to communicate ideas clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences High attention to detail and strong engineering standards A proactive, ownership-driven mindset Nice to Have Experience working on sensor-driven or data-focused hardware products Interest in sports, biomechanics, or performance technology Why This Role Stands Out Work on a product that blends hardware, AI, and biomechanics in a genuinely impactful way High ownership and autonomy - a key contributor to product direction and quality Opportunity to work across both production hardware and future R&D concepts Collaborative, supportive team environment with strong engineering standards Direct impact on a product used in real-world, performance-driven environments Compensation & Benefits £45,000 – £65,000 base salary Performance bonus Share options Opportunity for travel and time spent close to the product’s real-world environment Location & Working Style Hybrid working, based in London Full-time position Collaborative environment with cross-functional teams The Bigger Picture They are redefining how athletes interact with coaching and performance data - building technology that turns complex movement and sensor data into simple, actionable feedback. For engineers interested in consumer hardware, sports tech, and real-world product impact, this is a chance to help shape the next generation of intelligent coaching systems.
