Junior Mechanical Engineer, Matter

• A degree (or equivalent) in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline
• The ability to solve mechanical engineering problems using first principles, supported by calculations, spreadsheets and basic simulation tools
• A foundational understanding of core mechanical engineering principles such as mechanics, materials and basic fluid dynamics
• Experience using CAD software to create parts and assemblies, with an understanding of tolerances and fits
• Practical skills using hand tools and power tools to fabricate, assemble and modify mechanical prototypes
• The ability to collect, process and interpret test data, and communicate findings clearly in written technical reports
• Confidence presenting ideas and technical work to colleagues and, with support, to clients

Desirable

• Reporting To Engineering Manager
• As a Junior Mechanical Engineer at Matter, you’ll work on exciting projects that challenge conventional thinking and push technical boundaries
• Join a forward-thinking team where your ideas matter, your skills are developed, and your career is set on a strong growth path
• As a Junior Mechanical Engineer, you will be involved in the full product lifecycle, supporting the design, development, prototyping, testing and installation of mechanical systems and components
• You will have the opportunity to put your motivation, skills and academic knowledge into practice using CAD tools, the 3D printing suite, workshop and laboratory equipment
• You will also engage in a local and international supply chain for the fabrication and assembly of Matter products
• You will develop strong core mechanical engineering skills including mechanical design, engineering calculations, prototype fabrication and testing
• This will provide you the opportunity to gain hands on experience in the lab, whilst also being involved in the design development lifecycle
• Delivering assigned mechanical engineering work packages with guidance and support from senior engineers
• Producing and maintaining engineering documentation related to your work packages, such as CAD models, drawings, test records and reports
• Supporting the design and development of mechanical components and sub-systems, from concept to prototype and onto final products
• Building, assembling and maintaining functional prototypes and full-scale industrial products using workshop tools
• Conducting mechanical testing in line with agreed test plans and supporting the development of new test methods
• Analysing test data and using results to inform design improvements
• Keeping internal stakeholders updated on progress and producing clear technical reports that summarise your work
• Supporting presentations of technical work to clients and external stakeholders, with increasing responsibility as you develop
• You will have a real and tangible influence on developing products that address real-world challenges, working closely with more experienced engineers who will support your technical development
• What sets our Junior Engineers apart is how the speed they develop at Matter, as no day is the same because they are given exposure to a wide variety of ‘in at the deep end’ learning experiences
• You will gain insight into how proprietary design is developed all the way from the R&D phase, to prototype fabrication and on to batch manufacture, along with supporting on quality testing and assembly
• You will also be involved in reporting and building out the wider documentation of the project outputs in the design phase
• There will be opportunities to travel and gain on-site experience at customer sites across Europe and south east Asia
