Job summary

Cellular Origins, near Cambridge, is seeking a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to own the detailed design of precision modules in our robotic manufacturing platform. You’ll take concepts through to manufacturable hardware, ensuring reliability in demanding production environments.

You’ll work with mechanical, robotics, software, systems and biology teams, using SolidWorks and tolerance analyses to drive robust, repeatable solutions and raise the standard of design across the team.

Qualifications

• You’ll have a Mechanical Engineering degree or a science-based degree with strong, relevant industrial experience.
• You have hands-on experience designing precision devices across micro to milli scales.
• You have proven experience developing complex electromechanical products and delivering them into manufacture.
• You have experience working in cross-functional / cross-disciplinary teams.
• You can leverage analytical techniques to support design decisions with a focus on tolerance analyses, FEA and motor calculations.
• You have a strong 3D CAD capability, ideally using SolidWorks.
• You have deep knowledge of material selection and manufacturing processes.
• You have a track record of improving designs to be reliably repeatable.
• You can work collaboratively and make sound engineering decisions with incomplete information.

Responsibilities

• Own the detailed mechanical design of critical modules within our robotic manufacturing platform.
• Turn early concepts and prototypes into stable, manufacturable designs that perform consistently.
• Build detailed tolerance analyses and use the right analytical techniques to understand and improve performance.
• Make thoughtful decisions around materials, manufacturing methods and component design.
• Work hands-on with prototypes and hardware, learning quickly from what you see and feeding that back into better designs.
• Collaborate closely with engineers from other disciplines to solve system-level challenges.
• Use your experience to spot risks early and guide designs from “it works” to “it works all the time”.
• Help raise the standard of mechanical design across the team by sharing your judgement, methods and experience.
