Job Description
Mechanical Design Engineer | Robotics & Autonomous Systems Location: Full time | Permanent
Design hardware that operates where failure isn’t an option
Are you a Mechanical Design Engineer working on drones, UAVs, robotics or advanced electromechanical products — and starting to feel boxed in by incremental upgrades or overly siloed roles?
This is an opportunity to take full ownership of real, mission‑critical hardware , from concept through to manufacture, in a fast‑moving engineering team building autonomous inspection systems for extreme environments.
You’ll be designing field‑deployable robotic hardware that must survive:
Confined, high‑risk industrial spaces
Concept design, prototyping and validation
Detailed mechanical design and DFM-ready drawings
BOM / CBOM ownership and engineering change control
Close collaboration with electronics and software engineers
