Senior Mechanical Engineer – Aerospace & Defence

Copello; West of England; Vor Ort; GBP 50.000 - 60.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Copello is seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to lead mechanical design for avionics and payload installations in a Bristol-based context. You will own models, drawings and design packs through the product lifecycle, ensuring robust interfaces with electrical and aerodynamics teams.

You will develop thermal solutions for high-power electronics, oversee qualification testing, and guide manufacturing and suppliers in machining, additive manufacturing and composites.

Qualifikationen

• Degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering.
• 4–8 years’ mechanical design experience, preferably in aerospace/defence.
• Experience taking hardware through environmental qualification and testing.
• Experience with low-to-medium volume manufacturing (machining, additive manufacturing, composites).
• Ability to use structural or thermal FEA/CFD for initial analysis.
• Strong SolidWorks and engineering drawing experience; GD&T knowledge beneficial.
• Interest in working across mechanical, thermal and electrical interfaces.
• Hands-on approach with ability to hand-calculate and sanity-check designs.

Aufgaben

• Own mechanical design for avionics and payload installations from concept through to production.
• Design airframe components and mechanisms in SolidWorks and manage models and drawings.
• Develop thermal management solutions for high-power electronics.
