Bored of churning out designs that never leave the screen?

Tired of seeing your work buried in “version 26_final_FINAL_v2” and forgotten in a shared folder? If you want your designs built, tested, and pushed into real-world applications - this is where it gets good.

Why this job is different

You won’t just be refining legacy parts or stuck in endless reviews. You’ll be working on new product development, from concept to sign-off, with a team that genuinely values engineering input. Think hands-on, high-spec defence systems, not glorified catalogue tweaks.

It’s not often you get to work on serious engineering challenges and see your ideas come to life in the same building.

What they’re about

This is a company with real engineering pedigree, quietly delivering high-performance tech into some of the UK’s most demanding environments - including defence infrastructure and critical systems.

You’ll be part of a dedicated project unit focused on defence programmes, with the freedom and tools to build things that are precise, durable, and properly engineered - not cobbled together for margin.

What’s in it for you

Ownership of full product lifecycle

Hybrid working and early Friday finishes

25 days holiday, plus Christmas shutdown and bank holidays

Solid 4% pension, life cover, sick pay

Learning and development that actually gets funded

Mental health support, cycle to work, and good coffee

No dead weight — just a sharp, collaborative team that gets it done

Who would thrive here

You’ve got a background in mechanical design within a manufacturing setting - ideally defence, aerospace, or similar. You’re confident with 3D CAD (SolidWorks preferred), NPI processes, and know what it takes to get a design off the page and into production.

You’re proactive, comfortable in cross-functional teams, and happy rolling your sleeves up when needed. You’re also BPSS cleared, or willing to get it sorted.
