Lead Systems and Mechanical Engineer at Arridex Limited

Job Summary

• We are seeking a Lead Systems and Mechanical Engineer to own the physical architecture of our hardware platforms.
• The successful candidate will be responsible for the structural design, systems integration, and field reliability of complex platforms operating in demanding environments.
• This role is the primary bridge between design and advanced manufacturing capability.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the mechanical and systems architecture across all hardware platforms from initial concept through to production-ready design
• Lead design-for-additive-manufacturing from the first sketch, leveraging in-house additive manufacturing capability as a core design tool rather than a retrofit option
• Drive reliability engineering, ensuring platforms meet the demands of extended operation in harsh and remote environments
• Manage CAD-to-production workflows and maintain design integrity through the manufacturing process
• Interface directly with electronics and autonomy leads to ensure seamless integration across subsystems
• Establish and enforce structural and systems engineering standards across the product team.

Requirements

• Senior-level mechanical and systems engineering experience with a track record of products deployed in field conditions
• Demonstrable expertise in design for additive manufacturing; this is non-negotiable for this role
• Background in marine, subsea, rugged-environment, or equivalent demanding engineering domains
• Strong CAD fluency and hands-on experience taking designs from digital model to physical part
• Experience with corrosion resistance, environmental sealing, and materials selection for harsh environments.

Preferred Background:

• Direct experience in marine vessel or subsea system design
• Familiarity with military or defence engineering standards
• Experience operating or specifying industrial additive manufacturing equipment.
