Design hardware that operates where failure isn't an option

Are you a Mechanical Design Engineer working on drones, UAVs, robotics or advanced electromechanical products - and starting to feel boxed in by incremental upgrades or overly siloed roles?

This is an opportunity to take full ownership of real, mission‑critical hardware, from concept through to manufacture, in a fast‑moving engineering team building autonomous inspection systems for extreme environments.

What You'll Be Working On

You'll be designing field‑deployable robotic hardware that must survive:

Harsh weather and corrosive environments
Confined, high‑risk industrial spaces
High consequence failure scenariosYour role spans the entire product lifecycle:

Concept design, prototyping and validation
Detailed mechanical design ...
