Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

Responsibilities

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.

• Proven experience designing complex mechanical systems in high‑performance sectors (e.g. motor sport, 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.
