## Description

## Job Overview

As Mechanical Designer, you will own the design and development of mechanical parts and full assemblies for current and future drone products within Helsing's physical products and hardware engineering organisation. Working from requirements through to validated hardware, you will translate engineering constraints into robust, scalable, and cost-effective components.

## Responsibilities

- Own the mechanical design of drone components and full assemblies from concept to validated hardware, producing 3D models and 2D drawings that meet ASME/ISO standards and manufacturing requirements

- Translate comprehensive requirements sets into design concepts, applying analytical assessments to standard mechanical elements such as bolts, bearings and fittings to verify form, fit and function

- Build and integrate prototypes hands-on, performing structured assessments to validate robustness, usability and ruggedised characteristics under operationally relevant conditions

- Plan and execute validation test campaigns that drive technical maturation and reduce programme risk at each design milestone

- Produce comprehensive design documentation in compliance with company quality standards and PLM workflows, ensuring traceability across the full product lifecycle

## Requirements

- Have designed and delivered mechanical parts and assemblies for aerospace or similarly demanding applications, using 3D and 2D CAD tools such as SolidWorks/PDM or Siemens NX/Teamcenter

- Can apply ASME/ISO drawing standards and mechanical design standards confidently, including analytical assessment of standard mechanical components

- Have integrated and tested prototypes hands-on, using test outcomes to iterate and improve designs against defined requirements

- Communicate complex design intent clearly in written English, producing documentation that meets rigorous engineering quality standards within a PLM environment

- Act decisively with minimal guidance, own outcomes end-to-end and initiate solutions without waiting for direction

## Nice to Have

- Familiarity with design for manufacture and assembly (DFMA) principles applied within fast-paced, iterative drone or UAV development programmes

- Experience working within structured product development processes, including requirements management and design review gating

## Benefits

- Competitive salary and VSOP options

- Relocation support: up to €2,500 and 4 weeks temporary accommodation

- Learning: €500/£450 yearly allowance

- Health & wellness: gym membership and mental health support (Nilo.health)

- Social: regularly company events and monthly social allowances

- Enhanced parental leave: 22 weeks fully paid for primary caregivers & 6 weeks for secondary caregivers

- Family support: 5 days of paid family emergency leave, 100% remote work option during pregnancy and phased return to work
