We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to design and develop complex mechanical and electromechanical systems for our Wind Tunnel and Wind Tunnel Model programmes.
This role requires a highly capable engineer with 5+ years of experience designing precision mechanical systems, with demonstrable experience leading projects from concept through analysis, manufacture, validation and operational deployment.
You will:
- Take ownership of the design and development of complex mechanical assemblies, mechanisms, and precision engineering systems, including hydraulic systems, electro-mechanical systems, and motion/actuation systems, for the Wind Tunnel and Wind Tunnel Model.
- Own design solutions through the full lifecycle: concept schemes, preliminary design, detailed design, FEA validation, manufacturing liaison, and test/verification support.
- Translate aerodynamic development requirements into robust and manufacturable engineering solutions, collaborating directly with aerodynamicists, model shop, manufacturing teams, and suppliers, within tight deadlines.
- Take ownership of all relevant manufacturing and assembly drawings, ensuring GD&T compliance throughout to a high standard.
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of engineering standards and methodologies within the group and the wider department
The ideal candidate will have:
- Proven experience designing complex mechanical systems in high-performance sectors (e.g. motorsport, aerospace, robotics).
- Strong 3D CAD skills (ideally Siemens NX), including large assemblies, simulation, routing, sheet metal, and FEA.
- Advanced knowledge of GD&T and tolerance analysis to BS 8888 and ISO 1101 standards.
- Solid FEA capability covering structural, modal, frequency, and fatigue analysis.
- In-depth understanding of machine design, materials, and manufacturing processes (e.g. CNC, EDM, fabrication).
- Track record of independently delivering complex designs under tight deadlines, with strong problem-solving and cross-functional communication skills.
