Contract Mechanical Design Engineer

Are you ready to push the boundaries of automotive innovation? We're seeking a highly motivated Mechanical Design Engineer to join our client's fast-paced, high-performance engineering team. This is a rare opportunity to work on the cutting edge of electric hypercar development—from concept to production. You'll be instrumental in designing mechanical systems that define the future of performance, precision, and sustainability.
 
The Mechanical Design Engineer will:

Design and develop mechanical systems for chassis, bodywork, and suspension using Siemens NX CAD.
Take ownership of entire systems and drive them from concept through to production.
Collaborate cross-functionally with aerodynamics, electronics, and manufacturing teams to ensure seamless integration.
Support prototype builds and contributes to on-track testing and validation.
Continuously innovate and develop new techniques and prototypes for high-performance applications.  
The Mechanical Design Engineer will have:

A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical or Automotive Engineering.
3+ years of experience in a UK motorsport company
Strong proficiency in CAD (Siemens NX), GD&T, and technical documentation.
Experience designing hydraulic/pneumatic systems and conducting FEA-based functional analysis.
Deep understanding of lightweight structures and advanced materials (e.g., composites, titanium).  
If you're passionate about engineering excellence and want to be part of a team that's redefining what's possible in automotive design, we'd love to hear from you.

Materials Science Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK materials science hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise characterisation with clear conclusions, scale‑up to pilot/production, standards compliance (ASTM/ISO/IATF/AS9100), sustainability/ESG, data literacy & measurable product or yield improvements. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for battery/materials engineers, polymer/composites specialists, metallurgists, ceramics/glass scientists, surface/thin‑film engineers, failure analysts, process/quality engineers & materials informatics roles. Who this is for: Materials scientists & engineers (metals, polymers, ceramics, composites, semiconductors, thin films, coatings), process/scale‑up & manufacturing engineers, CMC in materials for life sciences, QA/QC, failure analysis, test & characterisation, sustainability/LCAs, and materials informatics/data roles in the UK.

Why Materials Science Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Materials science has always been an interdisciplinary field, sitting at the crossroads of physics, chemistry & engineering. But in the UK today, as the demand for sustainable technologies, advanced composites & biomedical innovations grows, materials science careers are becoming even more multidisciplinary. Employers are now looking beyond technical expertise. Success in modern materials roles increasingly requires awareness of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. These five areas shape how new materials are researched, applied, communicated and trusted in society. This article explores why materials science careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these fields intersect with scientific practice, and what job-seekers & employers should do to adapt.
