Senior Design Engineer

Senior Design Engineer | Remote | Competitive Salary

Fancy putting your name to the next generation of connector technology used in mission-critical aerospace and defence applications? This Senior Design Engineer role is a genuine chance to take technical ownership from concept through to production, not just contribute to someone else's design.

As a Senior Design Engineer, you will benefit from:

• Fully remote working with the flexibility to structure your own day
• The chance to lead technical decision-making on high-profile development projects
• Exposure to international, cross-functional engineering teams
• Real influence over next-generation aerospace and defence technology
• Ongoing professional development and progression opportunities
• A supportive management structure that backs your technical judgement

As a Senior Design Engineer, your responsibilities will include:

• Leading the design and development of interconnect solutions for aerospace, defence, and other high-reliability applications
• Creating detailed connector, contact, cable and latching mechanism designs using 3D and 2D CAD software
• Conducting design reviews backed by engineering calculations, simulation and testing
• Overseeing prototype builds and coordinating with internal teams and external suppliers
• Performing DFMEA and risk assessments in line with AS9100 requirements
• Providing technical leadership and guidance to junior engineers throughout the product lifecycle

As a Senior Design Engineer, your experience will include:

• Mechanical Engineering degree (Master's preferred)
• 5 to 7 years' experience within aerospace, defence, military, or other high-reliability industries
• A proven track record of bringing products from concept to market
• Strong CAD experience, ideally in SolidWorks
• Working knowledge of FEA tools such as ANSYS and Mold Flow analysis
• Understanding of electrical engineering principles relating to connectors, contacts and cable systems
• Due to the nature of this role, candidates must be UK citizens; sponsorship is not available
