We have a world-leading reputation for solving difficult industrial problems, specialising in robotics and the aerospace sector.

SKILLS

• Exceptional ability to discern, understand and breakdown requirement inputs from multiple sources, resolve those that are competing and/or contradictory, and formulate a single, complete set of clear, coherent, and unambiguous electro-mechanical subsystem requirements
• Proven ability to conceive and develop innovative, practical, and robust electro-mechanical designs that are based on sound engineering principles.
• Exceptional ability to analyse a system’s mechanical behaviour, troubleshoot and diagnose performance problems and propose robust and practical solutions.
• Proven ability to manage own time and prioritise tasks based on high-level project milestones and objectives
• Excellent interpersonal abilities and proven ability to work collaboratively in a cross-functional project environment
• Proficiency in the creation of 3D CAD models and assemblies
• Proficiency in the creation of 2D orthographic engineering drawings IAW BS:8888
• Exceptional written and oral communication skills (working language is English)
• Proficiency with MS Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio)

QUALIFICATIONS

Electro-Mechanical, Mechatronic Engineering Degree or dual Electrical Mechanical Engineering Degree.

YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

In order to have the diversity of experience required for this role we would expect a minimum of eighteen (18) years of electro-mechanical and servo system design experience.

REQUIREMENTS & COMPLIANCE

• Requirements creation, decomposition, allocation, and validation
• Creation and maintenance of technical and safety risk registers
• Qualification & acceptance testing

The role involves assisting in the creation and management of the electro-mechanical system design, including control systems, from concept through to production, installation, and test, using a combination of manual and computer-aided engineering analysis, 3D CAD modelling and functional hardware proof of concept and prototyping.
You will work to develop and manage system and subsystem product requirements whilst conceiving and developing multiple design approaches to a sufficient level of maturity to allow each to be assessed against those requirements and ranked to allow an optimal design approach to be selected for product development, build and test.
The post also involves participating in and contributing to the creation and maintenance of design specifications and design rationale documents which support design decisions. You will also contribute to the preparation of design review materials following Loop Technology’s product development process.
Additionally, you will lead technical peer and cross-functional mechanical design reviews, to ensure that all proposed designs are evaluated against and meet the product design requirements of the projects to which they are assigned.
This role will visit client sites, across a number of different sectors, including defence. As a result, the successful candidate will need to be a British Citizen and be able to obtain security clearance up to Developed Vetting level.
