Senior Mechanical Engineer – Reading Join our client’s mission to create the lowest orbiting satellites on Earth to rapidly advance global connectivity and insight. They are in their critical growth phase so the role will not come without its challenges, however the reward and exciting work is something to get excited by The Senior Mechanical Engineers key purpose will be to lead the design and development of the propulsion system and satellites. Key Responsibilities For The Senior Mechanical Engineer Lead the design and development of next-generation structures and mechanisms. Rapidly design, test, and prototype (R&D) satellite subsystems. Perform hand calculations and FEA to develop, assess, and optimize designs. Conduct trade studies to optimize cost, schedule, safety, and performance. Fundamental Requirements Expected From The Senior Mechanical Engineer 3 years of experience in mechanical design and analysis. Exceptional skills in CAD modeling and drawing preparation. Solid understanding of structural analysis and failure modes of complex mechanical systems. Proficiency in FEM software (e.g., ANSYS) is essential. Experience in rapid design, testing, and prototyping (R&D) in your field. Strong understanding and application of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T). Propel your career with the rare opportunity to have a level of involvement in the full lifecycle of satellite technology development, with opportunities to influence mission-critical systems.
