Advanced Mechanical Design Engineer – Electronics Products
Location: Yeovil (Hybrid – 3 days at office, 2 days work from home) Sector: Aerospace (Environmental Control Systems & Life Support Systems)
We’re seeking an experienced and motivated Advanced Mechanical Design Engineer to join our Yeovil-based team. This role will provide crucial mechanical design support to our electronic controllers team, interface with broader system development teams, and deliver advanced solutions for complex aerospace Electrical Control Systems.
About the Role
The Advanced Mechanical Design Engineer will drive concept-to-detailed design for new products and tooling, collaborating across project teams to ensure fast-tracked, cost-effective solutions while maintaining high manufacturing standards. Key areas of responsibility include:
- Environmental Control Systems (ECS)
- Life Support Systems (LSS)
- Product reconfigurations and aerospace safety compliance
Part of a modern design and manufacturing team shaping next-generation aerospace tech in a globally recognised heritage site.
Responsibilities
Primary Duties
- Serve as the site focal point for all electronic product mechanical engineering, providing cross-team technical expertise.
- Develop detailed designs/layouts aligned to customer specifications and project constraints, balancing performance, manufacturability and cost.
- Support cost estimates for proposals and feasibility evaluations via CAD, FEA and traditional stressed-component analysis.
- Lead drawing packs (production, prototype and assembly documentation) including tolerancing and geometry (GD&T).
- Monitor industry advancements in lean/ Six Sigma and integrate best practice into design workflows.
- Liaise with production teams to optimise designs for modern manufacturing ( machining, automation,agnostic tooling) while analysing production constraints.
- Drive engineering change requests and quality waivers/deviations as part of compliance controls.
- Deliver mechanical input for PCB design (EMC, thermal, shock/vibrational load effects) and multi engineering team engagements.
- Hit project milestones as part of a fast-paced, multi-disciplinary environment.
