Are you the kind of engineer who solves problems from first principles — not from templates?

We’re looking for a Mechanical Engineer to join a specialist engineering consultancy working across automotive, aerospace, defence, and autonomous systems. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on technical depth, analytical rigour, and elegant problem-solving — the kind of engineer who enjoys the challenge of balancing theory with practical delivery.

You’ll be part of a small, high-performing team where the expectation is excellence. You’ll take ownership of your own projects, moving fluidly between concept generation, design development, analytical modelling and simulation. Each day brings new technical challenges that demand sharp reasoning, precise execution and the ability to deliver complex solutions autonomously.

What You’ll Do

Engineer complex systems and components from concept through release
Apply advanced analytical techniques — FEA, MBD, and mathematical modelling
Develop design solutions grounded in first-principles thinking and validated through rigorous analysis
Contribute across diverse sectors — from high-performance automotive to aerospace and defence innovation
Present technical findings clearly and confidently to clients and project teams
Who You Are
You’re an exceptional problem solver who combines creativity with technical mastery. You likely hold a strong MEng, MSc or PhD in Mechanical, Automotive or Aerospace Engineering, backed by excellent A-levels in Maths and Physics. You’re confident moving between CAD, simulation and hand calculations — and take satisfaction in understanding why things work, not just how.

This role offers:
Hybrid working (Warwick-based), complex technical challenges, cross-sector exposure, and a culture that values curiosity, integrity, and intellectual independence

Space Industry Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK space‑sector hiring has shifted from pedigree‑first screening to capability‑driven evaluation across the full stack—spacecraft systems, payload/RF, flight software, GNC/ADCS, propulsion, structures/thermal, AIT (assembly–integration–test), mission/ground operations, reliability/radiation, and compliance (ECSS, export control). Employers want proof you can build, test, operate and scale space systems safely and economically. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for satellite/spacecraft engineers, payload & RF/MM‑wave, flight & ground software, GNC/ADCS, power/thermal, AIT/test, mission ops, data/EO, and space product/TPM roles. Who this is for: Systems engineers, payload/RF engineers, flight software & FDIR, GNC/ADCS, power/thermal/structures, propulsion, AIT/test, reliability/radiation, QA/compliance, ground segment/cloud, mission operations, EO/data processing, and product/programme managers targeting roles in the UK space ecosystem.

Why Space Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

The UK’s space sector is growing fast — from satellite systems and Earth observation to satellite communications, space robotics, propulsion, space data analytics, and mission operations. But the nature of space work is changing. Projects involving satellites, launch systems, space robotics and ground infrastructure are now embedded in regulation, public perception, human interaction and cross-disciplinary design. Space careers in the UK used to be dominated by engineers, astrophysicists, systems analysts and telemetry experts. Today, they increasingly demand fluency not only in aerospace, software, electronics & data, but also in law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. After all, space systems operate under treaties, privacy constraints, public scrutiny, international collaborations and human interfaces. In this article, we explore why space careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how those allied fields intersect with space work, and what job-seekers & employers must do to thrive in this evolving cosmos.
