Senior Mechanical Engineer

Design a mechanism that restores movement to someone who lost it, from a blank sheet between two fixed interfaces on a new robotic prosthetic subsystem. This Senior Mechanical Engineer role is in Leeds, hybrid around 2 days a week, paying up to £60,000, with flexibility to £65,000 for the right person.

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you own the mechanical design of a subsystem end to end, from a blank sheet to a tested, manufacturable design.

• Design load bearing, moving structures at small scale, to tight packaging constraints.
• Take concepts into Solid Works and produce detailed design, with drawings to BS 8888.
• Run structural and tolerance analysis behind your designs, including FEA and hand calculations.
• Build custom test fixtures and take your designs through verification and validation.
• Select materials and manufacturing methods with design for manufacture and assembly in mind.

• Extensive experience in mechanical design, as a Senior Mechanical Engineer or Mechanical Design Engineer, not product design or CAD only.
• A track record designing moving assemblies, mechanisms or articulated parts, with bearings and constraints.
• Experience in a regulated environment such as medical ...
