We're hiring!

Looking for your next engineering opportunity? Join the World Mosquito Program (WMP) and help develop innovative technologies that support the fight against mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue, Zika, chikungunya and yellow fever.

We're seeking an early-career Mechatronics Engineer who is passionate about hands-on engineering and enjoys solving real-world problems.

Working alongside scientists and engineers, you'll contribute to early-stage engineering R&D; by designing, building and testing electromechanical systems that move rapidly from concept to validated prototype.

Key responsibilities include

- Designing, assembling and iterating mechanical, electronic and mechatronic prototypes
- Creating CAD models, manufacturing drawings and technical documentation
- Developing and executing laboratory and bench test plans, analysing data and documenting verification results
- Supporting hardware design reviews and translating concepts into clear engineering specifications
- Building automated test capability using scripting tools (e.g. Python) and developing embedded systems knowledge
- Working safely within laboratory and biosecurity environments while maintaining rigorous documentation and traceability
- Collaborating with internal researchers and supporting technical reviews of externally developed designs





We're looking for engineers with:

✔ A degree in Mechatronics, Mechanical, Electrical or a related engineering discipline

✔ Approximately 2–4 years' engineering experience (including internships, placements or graduate projects)

✔ Practical experience with CAD, electromechanical assembly, wiring, debugging and prototype development

✔ Strong technical documentation and problem-solving skills

✔ An interest in verification & validation, product development and engineering for regulated or safety-critical environments

Why join WMP?

- Work on engineering solutions with global public health impact.
- Be part of a collaborative team where you'll gain exposure across mechanical, electrical and embedded engineering.
- Grow your technical capability while contributing to innovative product development and applied research.
- Collaborate with experts across engineering, science and operations to develop scalable technologies that can protect communities around the world.
