About The Role

We are looking for an experienced Senior Mechanical Engineer to join our R&D team in Cambridge and help shape the next generation of Domino's printing and coding technologies. This is a hybrid role, with an expectation of attending the office at least 3 days per week.

This role is ideal for an experienced mechanical engineer who enjoys solving complex technical problems, influencing product direction and delivering robust engineering solutions.

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, You Will

  • Lead the design and development of new products, technologies and product enhancements, taking ownership from concept through to production.
  • Develop innovative mechanical solutions and architectures that meet product, customer and business requirements.
  • Create high-quality CAD models, drawings and technical documentation, applying sound engineering principles to mechanisms, materials, manufacturing processes and tolerancing.
  • Lead prototyping, testing and design verification activities, using structured problem solving and root-cause analysis to address technical challenges.
  • Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering, Operations and suppliers to deliver robust, manufacturable and cost-effective designs, championing Design for Manufacture and Assembly principles.
  • Provide technical leadership and mentoring while working across multidisciplinary teams to deliver innovative product solutions.

Projects may involve precision mechanisms, high-speed motion systems, media handling, fluid systems, thermal management, automation and electro-mechanical integration.

About You

Domino values diversity and is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applications from all candidates; however, only those eligible to work in the UK without the need for additional immigration documentation will be considered for this position.

You’ll Have

  • A degree or equivalent qualification in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
  • Demonstrated experience in mechanical product design and development within a commercial environment.
  • Proven track record of delivering products through the full development lifecycle, from concept to production.
  • Strong proficiency in 3D CAD design and engineering drawings, ideally using SolidWorks.
  • Sound knowledge of mechanical design principles, materials selection, manufacturing processes, and geometric tolerancing.
  • Experience designing and developing mechanical systems, mechanisms, moving assemblies, or electro-mechanical products.
  • Hands-on experience with prototyping, product testing, verification activities, and root cause investigation.
  • Understanding of Design for Manufacture (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to influence technical decisions and engage stakeholders effectively.
  • Ability to work independently while collaborating successfully within multidisciplinary engineering teams.
  • Experience in precision engineering, industrial printing, inkjet or fluid systems, automation, robotics, high-speed machinery, media transport, or thermal management systems would be advantageous.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
