Job description

Hardware Development Engineer | Aerospace Systems

$140,000–$170,000 Base + Equity + Benefits

Are you a hands-on engineer who enjoys getting underneath complex hardware to understand how it works? Have you worked across design, manufacturing and testing rather than focusing on just one part of development? Would you enjoy evaluating new aerospace technologies and helping decide which products a growing engineering business develops next? If so, this opportunity may be the right next step for you.

An expanding aerospace and defence engineering group is investing in new product opportunities across a broad range of specialist hardware. The environment suits engineers who are naturally curious, enjoy solving unfamiliar problems and want more influence over what gets developed.

The Hardware Development Engineer will assess new aerospace components and systems, determining how they work, whether they can be manufactured and tested, and what it would take to bring them into production.

As the Hardware Development Engineer your responsibilities will include

• Reviewing engineering drawings, technical specifications, materials and complex hardware assemblies
• Evaluating product designs, manufacturing methods, technical feasibility and development risks
• Investigating existing components to identify redesign, improvement and manufacturing opportunities
• Working across mechanical, electrical, manufacturing and test engineering to develop practical solutions
• Supporting technical proposals, cost estimates and decisions on new product opportunities

As the Hardware Development Engineer you will bring

• 3+ years of hands-on mechanical, electrical, manufacturing or product engineering experience
• Experience designing, building, testing or troubleshooting complex physical hardware
• Confidence interpreting engineering drawings, GD&T, materials and technical specifications
• Understanding of manufacturing processes, product development and engineering feasibility
• Strong problem-solving skills, engineering judgement and ability to work across disciplines

Experience with aerospace hardware, electromechanical components, new product introduction or manufacturing cost analysis would be advantageous.

The Hardware Development Engineer will work on a variety of technical challenges, with the opportunity to influence product decisions rather than simply deliver against existing requirements.

Offering $140,000–$170,000 base salary, equity and comprehensive benefits, this is a chance to broaden your engineering experience, work closely with real hardware and help shape future product development.

All successful applicants will be contacted within two working days.
