This opportunity is for a senior mechanical engineer who enjoys working on physical hardware in demanding real-world conditions rather than relying only on simulation. The role is part of a forward-looking engineering group developing next-generation equipment that must keep working in environments where failure is not acceptable. The focus is on ruggedised systems built to survive severe cold, mechanical strain, and remote operation.<\/p>\n

What you will do<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Take technical responsibility for rugged mechanical hardware platforms designed for extreme climates.<\/li>\n
  • Guide the design, development, and delivery of cold-resistant hardware from the earliest concept stage through to products ready for field use.<\/li>\n
  • Create engineering solutions that stay reliable when exposed to intense thermal and mechanical stress.<\/li>\n
  • Make important design choices around materials, environmental sealing, structural design, and joining methods that suit harsh operating conditions.<\/li>\n
  • Work with test engineers to run cold-chamber evaluations and durability testing in sub-zero environments.<\/li>\n
  • Collaborate with teams covering electrical engineering, software, RF, systems, and GIS so that complex multi-disciplinary platforms are integrated successfully.<\/li>\n
  • Define and maintain quality and reliability standards to ensure the systems perform as required in the toughest conditions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    What the employer is looking for<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • More than seven years of industry experience developing hardware for demanding or extreme environments.<\/li>\n
    • A degree in Mechanical Engineering or Aerospace Engineering.<\/li>\n
    • A strong body of work showing practical hardware development delivered in real-world settings.<\/li>\n
    • Advanced skill using 3D CAD software such as Siemens NX, SolidWorks, or similar environments that use product data management.<\/li>\n
    • Experience moving products from concept into production, with a strong grasp of design for manufacture and assembly.<\/li>\n
    • Practical, hands-on experience with building, prototyping, and testing hardware.<\/li>\n
    • Experience working alongside engineers from multiple disciplines to bring complex products together.<\/li>\n
    • A grounded, practical approach and the ability to convert engineering theory into durable, field-ready solutions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Package and application<\/h3>\n

      The role is based in Gloucestershire, England and is described as offering a competitive salary together with benefits. Interested candidates are encouraged to apply directly or contact Gemma Rowe for further information.<\/p>\n

      The listing provides a named contact, Gemma Rowe, from the Electronics Test and Systems team, along with a phone number and email address for enquiries. An online application route is also available through the job advert.<\/p>\n\n
