About Parker, MPSD And Fareham
Parker Hannifin is a global leader in motion and control technologies, supporting customers across aerospace, industrial, and mobile markets. Within Parker Aerospace, the Motion, Power & Sensing Division (MPSD) brings together specialist capability in motion control, electrical power, and high-integrity sensing for commercial and military aerospace applications.
Our Fareham site is part of MPSD and plays an important role in the design and development of advanced avionics and sensor technologies. The team works on complex, safety-critical products that must perform reliably in demanding aerospace environments while meeting strict requirements for quality, compliance, cost, weight, and size.
We are looking for a Senior Mechanical Engineer to join our mechanical engineering team and support the design and development of advanced aerospace products, including avionics and sensor technologies for commercial and military applications.
This is a key role within the engineering function, providing technical judgement, design ownership, and engineering assurance across the full product development lifecycle. You will develop robust, compliant, and manufacturable mechanical designs that meet demanding customer, regulatory, environmental, cost, weight, and schedule requirements.
