WHO ARE WE

DEEP is accelerating deep sea exploration and preservation through the development of new technologies which enable humans to operate for longer periods of time and radically advance how humankind can access, explore and inhabit underwater environments. DEEP completely transforms what we are capable of underwater – and will increase our understanding of life on this planet!
Our planet’s oceans hold answers to some of the most significant challenges facing humanity today, and yet they are almost completely unknown and unexplored. At DEEP, our mission is to radically open up access to the oceans through pioneering new technologies. These will empower scientists and researchers to fully understand the impact of our current way of life on the oceans and find new ways for us to protect our seas, their inhabitants and ourselves.

Based at our DEEP Campus (Chepstow), we’re looking for a creative and forward-thinking Mechanical Engineer to design, develop and test innovative mechanical systems while also enhancing existing products. This role offers a genuine opportunity to solve complex engineering challenges and collaborate with a diverse team to shape the future of subsea product design and development and enable humankind to be aquatic.

• Mechanical System Design and Development: Design and develop mechanical systems, components and arrangements, both from scratch and through enhancements of existing products. Prepare and review technical drawings, specifications and reports for Procurement, Manufacturing and Assembly purposes.
• Requirement Definition & Problem Solving: Breakdown and define engineering challenges by interrogating use cases and defining requirements based on customer needs and regulatory compliance. Also, troubleshoot and provide solutions to technical issues during manufacturing, installation and commissioning of mechanical systems.
• Analysis and Testing: Conduct analysis, simulations, and testing of mechanical systems to ensure their reliability, safety and performance and ensure designs are thoroughly evaluated and tested to meet safety and performance standards.
• Documentation and Reporting: Develop and maintain engineering documentation, including specifications, calculations, reports and bills of materials and ensure all documentation is up to date and compliant with industry standards.
• Collaboration and Communication: Collaborate with wider Engineering teams, end users and technicians to ensure designs are feasible, cost-effective, and meet necessary requirements.
