Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

About us

CheMastery is automating how research and manufacture are carried out.

The chemical industry is a large and ever-growing market however, the work is still carried out mostly manually and chemical processes remained unchanged over the past 160 years. The lack of standardisation and digitisation created many problems for this fundamental industry, including reproducibility and cost/time efficiency which cost millions annually.

A start-up in London, looking to expand its highly interdisciplinary team of exceptionally talented mechanical engineers, software developers, data scientists and chemists.

All positions at CheMastery come with an extraordinary level of freedom to showcase your skill.

Description

The position as a Mechanical Design Engineer is a permanent fulltime position.

As a Mechanical Design Engineer you will have sole responsibility for one part of the project. You will have the freedom to see your project through its entire engineering life cycle from the planning stage, prototyping, testing all the way to final production. The wider team will include mechanical design engineers, software developers and chemists.

Objectives

You will be responsible for the design of a specific part of the system, including practical prototype building and assembly testing. You will coordinate with other engineers, software developers and chemists.

Your job will include commissioning and deployment of your system. You will have the opportunity to observe your solution first-hand in customers’ sites.
