** Why join Marshall Land Systems in this role
** This is a key leadership opportunity within the Mechanical Design function at Marshall Land Systems. The role would suit an experienced mechanical design leader who enjoys building capability, developing people and helping teams deliver complex, varied and meaningful engineering programmes.

This is a Mechanical Design leadership role. You will lead a team of Senior Engineers - Mechanical and Engineers - Mechanical who are responsible for the design, development, modification and support of complex physical products. The team uses Autodesk Inventor for 3D CAD, detailed design and drawing production, with Windchill PLM used for product data management, configuration control, engineering change and release.

At Marshall Land Systems, our mechanical design engineers do not work on the same product day after day. Our programmes are varied, technically challenging and often bespoke, meaning every project brings a different engineering problem to solve. Our teams work across a wide range of specialist land systems, including deployable infrastructure, command and control modules, medical and support facilities, protected mobility solutions, mission systems and complex vehicle-mounted equipment.

The work spans bids, new product development, modifications, production support, integration, trials, in-service support and continuous improvement. One programme may require structural design and welded frame development, another may involve packaging systems into a constrained module, while another may focus on configuration control, manufacturability, integration or customer-specific modifications.

As Engineering Manager - Mechanical, you will lead a team of Senior Engineers - Mechanical and Engineers - Mechanical, developing their capability and ensuring the team has the skills, standards, tools and ways of working needed to deliver current and future mechanical design programmes.

This is not a narrow line management role. It combines people leadership, mechanical design judgement, resource planning, capability development, delivery support and continuous improvement across the Mechanical Design function.

You will be joining a strong and collaborative team, now based in modern offices in Cambridge, with regular interaction across Engineering, Operations, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain and programme teams in the UK, Canada and the Netherlands.

This opportunity is a hybrid role requiring you to be onsite in Cambridge around 50–70% of the time.
