Job Description:

Mechatronics Mechanical Engineer | Stealth Hardware Startup | London (Onsite)

Our client – a deep-tech company operating at the intersection of hardware innovation and cutting-edge data storage – is building something unlike anything else on the market. They’re backed by tier-1 investors and recently joined the Intel Ignite accelerator. Now, they’re looking for a mechanical engineer who thrives on precision, hands-on prototyping, and the elegance of well-designed moving systems.

This isn’t about off-the-shelf parts or predictable design cycles. This is about working on internal mechanical systems from the ground up – think tape drives, microcontroller integration, and precision motion control. You’ll move seamlessly between CAD and workshop, designing and iterating in tight loops with world-class engineers and physicists. If you’ve worked on robotic arms, animatronics, or ultra-precise mechanisms, this will feel like home.

What sets this opportunity apart is the level of autonomy and the physicality of the work. You won't just design – you'll build, test, and refine directly on the bench. Ideal candidates will have 5+ years of mechanical engineering experience, with a solid background in mechatronics, microcontroller-based systems (Arduino experience is a plus), and a relentless attention to detail. The focus here is motion, precision, and smart mechanics.

If you're excited by the idea of building high-precision mechanical systems that could redefine what’s possible in data storage, get in touch. This is a rare chance to join a venture-backed startup at the bleeding edge of hardware—and to make your mark from day one.
