Build, maintain and improve the technology behind advanced testing
Want to work with sophisticated simulation, motion control and test equipment rather than sit behind a desk all day?
This is a hands-on opportunity to join a specialist Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) engineering team, helping maintain and develop the equipment used to recreate real flight conditions in a controlled test environment.
You will work with multi-axis motion simulators, antenna positioning systems, control equipment, hydraulics and specialist test hardware, solving problems, improving reliability and supporting new equipment installations and upgrades.
It is a genuinely varied engineering role, bringing together mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, controls and simulation technologies.
What you will be doing
- Fault-find and repair complex simulator and test equipment
- Carry out planned and corrective maintenance
- Read and interpret mechanical and electrical drawings
- Support equipment upgrades, modifications and obsolescence projects
- Improve equipment reliability, availability and maintainability
- Support installation, commissioning and acceptance of new equipment
- Investigate unfamiliar problems and develop practical solutions
- Work closely with experienced engineers and technical specialists
What we are looking for
You do not need to be an expert in everything. We are looking for a practical, technically curious engineer with experience in one or more of:
- Hydraulics or servo-hydraulic systems
- Electro-mechanical systems
- Control, motion control or servo systems
- Able to interpret mechanical and electrical drawings
- Workshop skills (hand and electrical tools)
- Some activities may involve working at height
- Experience with CAD, particularly CREO, would also be useful but is not essential.
- You could come from a Mechanical, Electrical, Electronic, Mechatronics, Robotics or Aerospace background, with a degree, HNC/HND or engineering apprenticeship.
Most importantly, you will be hands-on, willing to learn and comfortable working as part of a small multidisciplinary team. If you want a role where every day brings a different engineering challenge, this could be a great next move.
