Outside IR35
Role Overview
We require an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer on an Outside IR35 contract basis to deliver mechanical design packages for sub-modules intended for integration onto an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS).
The role focuses on detailed CAD development, assembly management, and vendor liaison for rapid prototyping and low-volume manufacturing.
Key Responsibilities
*
Design and develop mechanical sub-modules and packaging for UAS integration.
*
Manage CAD structures, complex assemblies, and design references using PTC Creo and Windchill.
*
Liaise directly with manufacturing facilities to source rapid-turnaround components, select appropriate materials, and determine production methods.
*
Coordinate with multidisciplinary engineering teams across electronics, RF, and systems integration.
Required Technical Profile
*
Essential:
*
Proven track record in mechanical design engineering within aerospace, defense, or high-reliability electronic systems.
*
Expert-level proficiency in PTC Creo.
*
Strong working knowledge of Windchill PDM/PLM.
*
Hands-on experience with the Creo Advanced Assembly Extension (AAX) for top-down design and skeleton models.
*
Desirable:
*
Design experience with aerodynamic enclosures, fairings, or pods.
*
Experience designing radomes or RF-transparent structures.
*
Demonstrated background in DFM (Design for Manufacture) for rapid-turnaround parts (CNC machining, additive manufacturing, composites).
