Senior Mechanical Engineer – Precision Mechanisms
Oxfordshire | £60,000–£75,000 DOE
Do you enjoy designing mechanisms where accuracy, repeatability and manufacturability are critical?
Would you like to take ownership of complex mechanical products from concept through to production?
Our client is seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to develop precision mechanical systems and small-scale mechanisms. This is a hands-on role offering significant technical ownership, varied engineering challenges and the opportunity to influence products from first principles.
Why This Role is Great
You will:
- Lead mechanical design work from early concepts and prototypes through to detailed design and manufacture.
- Develop compact mechanisms involving motion, adjustment, positioning, linkages, bearings, gears or flexures.
- Apply tolerance analysis, GD&T, calculations and FEA to validate performance.
- Solve challenges involving materials, friction, wear, joining methods and manufacturing processes.
- Work closely with technical specialists, suppliers and manufacturing partners.
- Lead design reviews and support high engineering standards across multiple projects.
- Help improve designs for reliable, scalable production.
