This is a unique and challenging opportunity to design and manufacture high power electronic systems to operate reliably in the harshest environments. You would be responsible for the integrity of your design, defining a mechanical assembly to securely accommodate and protect electronic components within the specified environment.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND ACCOUNTABILITIES

• Design and develop mechanical solutions to incorporate electronic products for rugged military environments.

• Evaluate design requirements and develop mechanical designs

• Liaise from concept through NPI process to required completion with electronics team, production engineering and operations to ensure design for manufacture and cost targets for product can be met

• Support bid proposals for cost estimating and feasibility design reviews

• Develop mechanical structures and assemblies with full consideration of component tolerances to ensure consistent cost-effective manufacture.

• Analyse the effects of heat, vibration, shock and acceleration to ensure the design performs as specified under all conditions.

RELEVANT EXPERIENCE

• Demonstrated experience of mechanical design within a complex environment

• Understanding of thermal analysis and design

• Design for Manufacture, Assembly and Test competency

• Degree level relevant qualification in Mechanical engineering or equivalent via apprenticeship scheme
