About the Role

We are working with a high-growth technology company developing advanced, mission-critical hardware systems used in demanding real-world environments. Due to continued growth, they are looking to bring on a Mechanical Engineer to support the design, prototyping and delivery of complex hardware products.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll work closely with electronics, systems and software engineers, taking mechanical designs from early concept through to prototype testing and production handover.


What You’ll Be Doing

  • Designing mechanical solutions for complex hardware systems (e.g. enclosures, racks, mounts, cooling solutions)

  • Taking ownership of mechanical design from concept through to prototype and production readiness

  • Producing detailed CAD models, assemblies and drawings

  • Supporting design reviews, testing activities and deployment planning

  • Working closely with manufacturers and suppliers to ensure designs are manufacturable

  • Creating and maintaining clear technical documentation

  • Collaborating with cross-functional engineering teams in a fast-paced environment


What We’re Looking For

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering

  • 2+ years’ hands-on experience in mechanical or hardware design

  • Strong CAD capability (experience with Inventor, SolidWorks, Fusion or similar)

  • Exposure to designing hardware for embedded or electronic systems

  • Experience working in startup, scale-up or product-driven engineering teams

  • Comfortable being mentored by senior engineers and growing into the role

  • Eligible for Australian security clearance


Nice to Have

  • Experience with rack or sub-system design

  • Exposure to power distribution or electronics packaging

  • Experience designing hardware for field-deployed or high-reliability systems


Why Apply?

  • Work on cutting-edge hardware products with real-world impact

  • Join a highly technical, multidisciplinary engineering team

  • High autonomy, strong mentorship and clear development pathways

  • Flexible hybrid working model

  • Opportunity to grow with a scaling technology business
