Our team of mechanical, electronic, firmware, and software engineers are trusted by world-leading startups, universities, governments and philanthropists to solve pressing technical challenges. See who they are on our website - including MIT, Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial, ARIA and Rand Corp. We are selective in the projects we take on and proactive in seeking out where our exceptional engineering teams can make the most impact. We believe in differential technology development: deliberately accelerating safety-enhancing technologies to ensure human flourishing. Not every technology is inevitable – rather, the market fails to incentivise key domains. We work in these areas. What do we do? At Amodo you will work with a world class team to create some of the most important technologies of our time. We focus on high speed development and real world impact, making sure we’re continually delivering tangible, concrete progress across the board. You will see your designs manufactured and distributed globally, your research inform policy, and you will support multi-million pound projects. We’re currently focused on four key fields: AI safety, biosecurity, humane tech, and accelerating science (developing the hardware tools that scientific breakthroughs require, but don't yet exist). In addition to client work, we want to bring our inventions into the world as spin-out companies, open-source projects, and products. We're actively hiring people to take charge of making this happen. New invention & new research - We design and build new products, equipment, and tools. Invention and rapid iteration are core to our DNA. We use these new inventions and our experience to perform new research and push boundaries. More products than powerpoints - Common failure modes of today’s consultancies include risk aversion, theatre for clients, and misrepresentation of what is important in projects. We reject this approach. We’re here to do truth-seeking, progress-optimising engineering, not to make slide decks. Work that matters - Unlike many consultancies we also get involved at the pre-product stage. Our experience in industry and biotech puts us in the position to run feasibility studies for new and existing companies.

Job Description for Design Engineer (Mechanical/Chemical/Process) Environmental Control Systems Location: Remote (UK-based) with travel to client sites Grade: S4 – Intermediate Project/Design Consulting Engineer Salary: £42,000 – £48,000 per annum (dependent on experience) Contract: Permanent, full-time (40 hours/week, flexible) Reports to: Managing Director / Senior Engineer OUR COMPANY MECHON is an independent environmental control systems consultancy. We design ventilation, LEV, specialist HVAC, and air pollution control systems for manufacturing, defence, pharmaceutical, and R&D environments across the UK and internationally. Our clients include major defence contractors, automotive manufacturers, chemical companies, and research facilities. We are not a contractor or installer. We are the consulting engineers who assess the problem, design the solution, write the specifications, and oversee delivery. Our work combines chemical and mechanical engineering — from workplace exposure assessment and DSEAR risk analysis through to full system design, dispersion modelling, and commissioning support. We are looking for a Design Engineer to join our team at Intermediate level (Grade S4), with a structured 2–4 year development pathway toward becoming a fully independent consulting engineer. WHAT YOU'LL DO You will work under the guidance of senior engineers to deliver environmental control system designs from concept through to completion. This is a consulting engineering role — the primary outputs are engineering calculations, risk assessments, technical reports, and design specifications. We have a dedicated CAD team; drawing production is not your core function. Your responsibilities will include: • Engineering calculations for LEV and process HVAC systems (airflow, pressure drop, thermal loads, exposure benchmarking), • ite surveys and audits to assess existing systems and gather design information, • Risk assessment work including COSHH exposure assessment and DSEAR under senior supervision, • Technical report writing and design specifications for clients, • Client liaison - attending design meetings, presenting findings, managing technical relationships, • Supporting project delivery from concept through to commissioning and handover WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU We don't expect you to arrive as a ventilation specialist. We do expect a solid grounding in engineering fundamentals that we can build on. Essential: • Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering, or closely related discipline, • Minimum 3 years' post-graduation engineering experience (does not need to be in ventilation, • process engineering, chemical plant, risk assessment, building services, or similar are equally relevant), • Working knowledge of fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and heat transfer applied in a professional setting, • Strong written English and the ability to produce clear, structured technical reports, • Full UK driving licence, • UK right to work Desirable: • Experience with risk assessment methodologies (HAZOP, DSEAR, COSHH, or similar), • Exposure to consultancy or client-facing technical roles, • Professional registration or working toward CEng/IEng, • Competence with CAD software (AutoCAD, Revit, or similar) THE KIND OF ENGINEER WHO DOES WELL HERE Our environment is different from a large consultancy. There's no layer of project managers between you and the client. You won't have a team of 20 around you. What you will have is direct responsibility, genuine autonomy, and senior engineers who will invest time in your development. Our most successful engineers share certain qualities: they take ownership of problems without waiting to be told, they communicate clearly under pressure, they're motivated by the quality of their work rather than their job title, and they have the patience to develop genuine expertise in a specialist discipline. Our most successful hires have come from a range of backgrounds including chemical engineering, process engineering, and mechanical engineering. What matters more than your specific discipline is how you think, how you communicate, and whether you take pride in producing work that stands up to scrutiny. WHAT WE OFFER • £42,000 – £48,000 depending on experience, • Fully remote working with UK-wide site visits, • Structured development programme with senior engineer mentoring, • Funded CPD and professional development (training courses, BOHS qualifications, chartership support) 22 days annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing to 25 at the next grade, • Pension with employer contribution, • Travel expenses for site visits fully reimbursed, • A specialist consultancy where your engineering skills are the product, not a support function HOW TO APPLY Please submit your CV and a brief covering statement (no more than 300 words) explaining why this role interests you and what you would bring to MECHON.

⚡ Senior Rust Engineer – High-Frequency Trading 🌍 UK Time Zone (Remote-friendly) 💲 Up to $300k base + Benefits The Company Storm2's client is a London-based research and trading firm building a tier-one HFT platform. Small team, high bar, and serious about what they're building. You'd be their fifth Rust hire. The Role Most Rust roles aren't really Rust roles. This one is. You'll be building the systems that power live trading operations: data ingestion, order management, execution, and risk, in an environment where microseconds matter and the margin for error is essentially zero. There's also real scope to ideate and build logic for new instruments and markets, so this isn't purely optimisation work on existing systems. The expectation is that you drive the design of those systems yourself, not wait to be pointed at a problem. The team is lean, highly technical, and academically rigorous. They're not hiring someone to execute a spec. They want someone who grabs initiative, shapes the architecture, and takes genuine ownership of what they build. If you've founded something, led a platform from scratch, or consistently been the person in previous roles who defined how things were built rather than just building them, that matters a lot here. On the technical side, they want to see: • Real HFT or market making experience in Rust, or a background in ultra-high-performance, large-scale throughput systems where the engineering demands are genuinely comparable., • Years of experience matters less than the depth and context you've built: someone five years into the right career is more interesting to this team than someone ten years into the wrong one., • Trading background or exposure to market microstructure is a genuine differentiator and will make you significantly more valuable in this seat from day one. If you want to work on something technically uncompromising alongside people who will push you, it's worth a conversation. 📧 Click 'Easy Apply' or email ⚡ Storm2 is a specialist FinTech recruitment firm with clients across Europe, APAC, and North America.
