A growing Australian engineering company working on advanced, high-technology hardware is looking for a Lead / Senior Mechanical Engineer to take ownership of precision mechanical design across its programs - the kind of engineer who thrives on tight tolerances, hard requirements, and hardware that has to perform reliably in demanding environments.
This is a Canberra-based, in office role. We know the best person may not already live there, so relocation support is available for the right candidate anywhere in Australia.
What you'll do
Own mechanical design of precision hardware from concept through to manufacture and test
Lead structural and thermal analysis (FEA) to validate designs against demanding performance and environmental requirements
Drive tolerance stack-ups, GD&T; and design-for-manufacture on tight-tolerance assemblies
Run design reviews and work across multiple engineering disciplines and manufacturing
Engage suppliers on precision components,
and take hardware from prototype to qualified build
What we're looking for
Degree in Mechanical Engineering or similar, with strong hands-on precision design experience
A track record of designing to fine tolerances - we're interested in people from aerospace, semiconductor, defence, medical devices, scientific instruments, or other high-precision fields
Solid FEA capability (ANSYS or similar) and CAD proficiency in SolidWorks
Confidence owning designs end-to-end and, for the lead level, guiding other engineers
Australian citizenship is required, as the role involves obtaining an Australian Government security clearance (sponsored on commencement)
You'll work on genuinely advanced technology in a rapid-growing team, with real technical ownership from day one, relocation support, and a transparent path to security clearance.
Applicants must be Australian citizens to be eligible for the required security clearance.
