We are seeking a detail-oriented Mechanical Integration Engineer to join our R&D this role you will be at the core of our product development process bridging multiple engineering disciplines to ensure that airframe propulsion avionics payloads and launch/recovery systems come together as a unified functional system. You will work closely with cross-functional teams from early concept through to prototype build and serial production releases making your work directly visible in the final product.
This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career engineer who enjoys working at the intersection of aerodynamics structures propulsion and avionics and who thrives in a fast-paced hands-on engineering environment.
Key ResponsibilitiesSystems Integration
Participate and support conceptual design studies contributing to system-level architecture and trade-off analyses
Integrate airframe propulsion avionics payload and launch/recovery subsystems into a coherent and manufacturable vehicle design
Define mounting interfaces between mechanical and avionics systems ensuring compatibility across
Own space allocation cable routing strategies and accessibility planning to support efficient maintenance and serviceability throughout the product/UAV lifecycle
Proactively identify integration risks early in the design cycle and drive resolution through collaboration with subsystem owners
Prototype & Production Support
Support hands-on prototype assembly providing on-vehicle integration guidance and resolving fit/form issues in real time
Produce clear accurate manufacturing-ready part and assembly drawings in line with engineering drawing standards
Collaborate with manufacturing and supply chain teams to ensure designs are producible and cost-effective
Validation & Documentation
Develop validation and test plans to verify that integrated assemblies meet design requirements
Support physical testing activities recording observations and analyzing results against acceptance criteria
Author thorough technical reports and presentations to support design reviews and project milestones
What Were Looking For Experience
03 years of experience in a mechanical design systems integration or product development role
Demonstrated ability to work within multi-disciplinary teams and manage competing priorities
Exposure to aerospace automotive or complex electromechanical product development is an advantage
Technical Skills
Strong proficiency in SolidWorks (3D modelling assemblies configurations and drawing environments)
Competent in producing 2D production drawings to industry standards (GD&T ASME/ISO)
Familiarity with PDM/PLM systems for data management is a plus
Excellent understanding of mechanical design principles materials and manufacturing processes
Education
Bachelors Degree or Diploma in Mechanical Engineering Industrial Engineering Aerospace Engineering or Mechatronics Engineering (or closely related discipline)
Bonus Points Nice to Have
Knowledge of composite materials and manufacturing processes (layup bonding co-cure)
Exposure to additive manufacturing for prototyping or end-use parts
Familiarity with Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles
Experience with FEA tools (e.g. SolidWorks Simulation ANSYS) for basic structural analysis
Understanding of aerospace certification/qualification requirements
Who You Are
You are naturally curious and enjoy understanding how complex systems fit together
You take ownership of your work and follow issues through to resolution
You are organized thorough in your documentation and comfortable working in a dynamic environment where requirements can evolve
