Why join Marshall Land Systems in this role This is a great opportunity for a Mechanical Design Engineer who wants variety, hands-on engineering exposure and the chance to develop within a strong mechanical design team. This is a Mechanical Design role, focused on the design, development, modification and support of complex physical products. You will use Autodesk Inventor for 3D CAD, detailed design and drawing production, with Windchill PLM used for product data management, configuration control, engineering change and release. At Marshall Land Systems, our mechanical design engineers do not work on the same product day after day. Our programmes are varied, technically challenging and often bespoke, meaning every project brings a different engineering problem to solve. Our teams work across a wide range of specialist land systems, including deployable infrastructure, command and control modules, medical and support facilities, protected mobility solutions, mission systems and complex vehicle-mounted equipment. The work is practical, varied and meaningful, with engineers involved across design, build, integration, production support and in-service improvement. One project may involve developing structural solutions for a welded frame, another may require packaging equipment into constrained spaces, while another may focus on supporting manufacture, resolving build issues, updating design data or contributing to bids and modifications. You will not be working on the same product every day. Each programme brings different technical challenges and gives engineers the opportunity to keep learning, solve new problems and build a broad engineering skillset. You will be part of a supportive mechanical design team, working from our modern offices in Cambridge and collaborating with colleagues across Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain and Operations in the UK and Canada. For someone who wants to grow technically and see their designs become real physical products, this is a strong opportunity. This is a hybrid role, with an expectation to be onsite in Cambridge around 70% of the time. The role A Mechanical Design Engineer is required to support the design, development and delivery of robust mechanical solutions across bids and projects. The role will help provide continuity of design intent, maintain configuration control and support effective coordination across programme, manufacturing, supply chain, quality and integration stakeholders.
