Job summary

Cellular Origins, based on the TTP Campus near Cambridge, is seeking a hands-on Mechanical Engineer to own the detailed mechanical design of critical modules within our robotic manufacturing platform. You will move concepts to manufacturable designs and work with a multidisciplinary team to improve reliability.

You will apply tolerance analyses, material selection, and 3D CAD (SolidWorks) to deliver repeatable, high-precision devices that perform in demanding environments.

Qualifications

• A Mechanical Engineering degree or science-based degree with strong, relevant industrial experience.
• Hands-on experience designing precision devices across length scales from tens of microns to tens of millimetres.
• Proven experience delivering complex electromechanical products into manufacture.
• Proven experience working in cross-functional / cross-disciplinary teams.
• Experience leveraging analytical techniques to support design decisions with a focus on tolerance analyses, FEA and motor calculations.

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.
