Mechanical Design Engineer Contract | Guildford | On-Site | 12 Months | Inside IR35
Our client, a leader in the aerospace sector, is seeking a highly motivated Mechanical Design Engineer to contribute to the development of current and future spacecraft missions. This is a fantastic opportunity to be involved in the full engineering life cycle - from initial concept through to final integration - within an innovative and collaborative environment.
You'll play a key role in the design and integration of spacecraft structures and sub-systems, working closely with cross-functional teams including project managers, systems engineers, manufacturing, and senior analysts.
Key Responsibilities:
Design mechanical components and systems using 3D CAD (SolidWorks), ensuring compliance with customer and mission requirements.
Produce detailed manufacturing drawings and support procurement, inspections, and manufacturing activities.
Document and manage design changes through Engineering Change Notices (ECNs).
Write technical assembly procedures and integration documentation.
Support cleanroom-based integration of mechanical components and sub-assemblies.
Maintain detailed build logs and create Bills of Materials (BoMs) using MRP systems.
Collaborate with electrical engineers on the design of enclosures and PCB outlines, ensuring compatibility with electronic assemblies.
Contribute to the mechanical design of systems such as propulsion, mechanisms, and optical instruments when required.
What We're Looking For:
Essential:
Strong experience in mechanical design, ideally within the aerospace, space, defence, or motorsport industries.
Proficient in SolidWorks and competent with Microsoft Office tools.
Knowledge of materials, surface treatments, and finishes for aerospace applications.
Experience in hands-on build, integration, and testing of mechanical systems.
Ability to write clear and accurate technical documentation.
Strong attention to detail and the ability to work under pressure and to tight deadlines.
Experience with drawing checking and release processes.
Understanding of production and manufacturing methods.
Desirable:
Familiarity with MRP systems.
Experience in electrical harness integration.
Understanding of spacecraft systems and the constraints of space environments.
