Principal Mechanical Engineer (multiple roles available)
12 months
£55 - £66 per hour
Inside IR35
We are working with a global leader in defense, aerospace, and security, delivering cutting-edge solutions that protect nations and advance innovation. Role Overview: We are seeking skilled Principal Mechanical Engineers to join project teams across the UK. The scope of the tasks will primarily comprise/address the mechanical design and detailing of high integrity gearboxes, components and assemblies, but will include other supporting systems and equipment such as couplings, instrumentation, lubrication, materials selection, documentation and test rig design as necessary. Liaison with other engineering team members and other DBS functional teams during project work is an integral part of the role. Typical duties include (but are not limited to): Engineering design of geared transmission systems and components Develop designs and/or re-engineering of existing designs for new applications. Design of test equipment and procedures for gearboxes Interpretation and comprehension of customer specifications, design standards including geometric tolerancing. Work with & support other team members, including those in adjacent disciplines including Analysis & Development. Lead engineering tasks on assigned projects. Interpretation and comprehension of customer and Standards requirements (eg., performance, safety conformance) Create deliverable documentation including Proposals, Manuals, Installation and Maintenance instructions as necessary. 2 & 3D CAD usage at expert level, Solid Edge preferred. Create component and assembly drawings. Drawing and technical documentation checking. BOM and gear data generation and engineering change control processing Technical liaison and problem solving with Production Engineering and Supply Chain teams. Participation in DFMEA, PFMEA and CI activities. Knowledge: · Strong core design skills, competence in materials selection, gear rating (ideally, not essential at first appointment), shaft and bearing analysis, rotor dynamics, other drive system elements including structural components, couplings, lubrication systems, relevant instrumentation and control systems. · Good knowledge of manufacturing techniques · Good knowledge of materials and processing techniques · Strong knowledge of relevant industry standards and design protocols (ISO, AGMA, DIN, FKM, DNV for example) · Experienced in the application of Machinery Safety regulations and requirements. · SAP aware/user, in context of engineering design data specification How to Apply: If you are passionate about engineering excellence and want to be part of a world-class team, we want to hear from you. Apply now by submitting your CV and a cover letter detailing your experience and suitability for the role.
