Missile Mechanical Architect


Overview

As a Mechanical Architect / Mechanical Engineer, you will, with the support of other members of the team, deliver architectural and detailed design tasks for mechanical systems in the sub-sea environment; specifically, the design, analysis, configuration, integration, test and troubleshooting of mechanical sub-systems within a wider system.
As an Architect, the role holder will act as the technical lead for mechanical-related aspects of projects.






Responsibilities

  • Mechanical Architect
    • Capture, specify, and manage mechanical requirements across the lifecycle.
    • Define the mechanical architecture of products and subsystems, including layouts, structures, materials selection, weight and balance, thermal performance, shock and vibration requirements, and environmental compliance.
    • Define the Mechanical Integration, Test, and Qualification Strategy.
    • Agree Integration, Verification and Validation (IV&V) methods for mechanical subsystems.
    • Provide design authority for all mechanical aspects of the solution.
  • Mechanical Engineer
    • Satisfy requirement sets through detailed design and development (CAD modelling, drawings, tolerance analysis, materials specification).
    • Produce 2D/3D CAD models and design documentation to support manufacture.
    • Define and deliver test and acceptance specifications for mechanical assemblies and sys...

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

Summary: UK edge computing hiring has moved from tool‑lists to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise resilient edge architectures, real‑time data pipelines, secure device fleets, container/Kubernetes at the edge, on‑device/near‑edge ML, and measurable business impact (latency, reliability, cost‑to‑serve). This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for edge platform engineers, IoT/OT engineers, edge SREs, embedded/firmware engineers, edge AI/ML engineers, network engineers (5G/private LTE), security specialists & product managers. Who this is for: Edge platform/SRE, IoT solution architects, embedded/firmware developers, edge AI/ML engineers, network engineers (5G/SD‑WAN), security engineers (OT/ICS), data/streaming engineers, site deployment/field engineers & edge product managers targeting roles in the UK.

Why Edge Computing Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

For years, computing innovation was focused on the cloud. But as demand for real-time analytics, low-latency processing and secure local data handling grows, edge computing has become the next frontier. From autonomous vehicles to healthcare monitoring devices, retail checkout systems to industrial IoT, edge computing is transforming how data is processed and used in the UK. This shift has also changed what it means to work in the field. Edge computing careers are no longer purely technical. They now require knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design, as professionals must consider regulation, human behaviour, communication & usability alongside engineering. In this article, we’ll explore why UK edge computing careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five fields intersect with edge roles, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to thrive in this evolving landscape.

Edge Computing Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Edge Computing Department

Edge computing is expanding rapidly in the UK, driven by demands for low latency, on-site processing, IoT proliferation, autonomous systems, 5G, AI inference on devices, and regulatory pressures for data sovereignty. Businesses in sectors such as telecoms, industrial automation, retail, smart cities, autonomous vehicles, and healthcare are pushing computation and intelligence closer to where data is generated. But to design, build, deploy, secure, and maintain edge computing systems requires more than just hardware or software — it requires structured teams with clearly defined roles and responsibilities. If you’re hiring, or applying for roles via EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk, understanding who does what in a mature edge computing department will help you plan better, show relevance in job applications, and build resilient teams. This article covers the key roles in edge computing teams, how they collaborate through the project lifecycle, what skills and qualifications UK employers usually expect, salary benchmarks, challenges and trends, and best practices for structuring effective edge teams.
