Mechanical Design Contract
- Cambridge
- 2 months
- Hybrid
- £50-55PH
- Outside IR35
Role Overview
We require an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer on an Outside IR35 contract basis to deliver mechanical design packages for sub-modules intended for integration onto an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS).
The role focuses on detailed CAD development, assembly management, and vendor liaison for rapid prototyping and low-volume manufacturing.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and develop mechanical sub-modules and packaging for UAS integration.
- Manage CAD structures, complex assemblies, and design references using PTC Creo and Windchill.
- Liaise directly with manufacturing facilities to source rapid-turnaround components, select appropriate materials, and determine production methods.
- Coordinate with multidisciplinary engineering teams across electronics, RF, and systems integration.
Required Technical Profile
- Essential:
- Proven track record in mechanical design engineering within aerospace, defense, or high-reliability electronic systems.
- Expert-level proficiency in PTC Creo.
- Strong working knowledge of Windchill PDM/PLM.
- Hands-on experience with the Creo Advanced Assembly Extension (AAX) for top-down design and skeleton models.
- Desirable:
- Design experience with aerodynamic enclosures, fairings, or pods.
- Experience designing radomes or RF-transparent structures.
- Demonstrated background in DFM (Design for Manufacture) for rapid-turnaround parts (CNC machining, additive manufacturing, composites).
