OVERVIEW OF ROLE
Advanced Navigation enters a new phase of growth and international expansion, the Special Projects Team operates as our internal 'skunkworks', tasked with rapid prototyping, innovation, and pushing the boundaries of what is possible.
As a Senior Mechatronics Engineer, you will be instrumental in realising this ambition, developing integrated hardware and electromechanical systems to solve real world problems with real world impact. This role requires a highly practical, hands-on engineer who thrives at the intersection of mechanical design, electronics, and embedded systems.
ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES
- Design, prototype, and test complex mechatronic systems integrating mechanical, electrical, and software components.
- Take ownership and responsibility for a component of a project and manage deadlines and reporting for the component.
- Work closely with the Product Owner and Product Manager to ensure project requirements are being met, timelines are realistic, being adhered to and that the engineering designs meet requirements.
- Collaborate tightly with embedded software engineers to ensure seamless integration between hardware capabilities and firmware.
- Develop jigs and self test capabilities to test and automate production of products.
- Deliver quality engineering solutions to agreed schedules and deadlines.
QUALIFICATIONS, EXPERIENCE & SKILLS
- Degree qualified Engineer with specialisation in mechatronics, robotics, electrical, or mechanical engineering.
- Have 5+ years of engineering experience with a proven record of practical, hands-on problem solving.
- Extensive experience in mechanical CAD design (e.g., SolidWorks) and rapid prototyping techniques (3D printing, CNC machining, fabrication).
- Experience in electronics design, schematic capture, PCB layout, and hardware bring-up.
- Strong cross-disciplinary engineering skills spanning mechanical, electrical, and basic control systems.
- Highly analytical with practical, root-cause problem-solving capabilities.
- Possess strategic thinking and strong abilities to distill large amounts of information quickly and accurately.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, and strong attention to detail.
- Efficient time management abilities, showcasing a drive for swift action.
- Be comfortable deep diving into technical topics and learning new skills to solve emerging problems.
