About this contract

Inside IR35

We are recruiting a Mechanical Design Engineer to design and develop high-reliability subsea electrical and optical connectors for harsh and extreme environments. You will work on low and high voltage connector systems, pressure housings, and sealing solutions used in offshore and subsea applications.

The role involves CAD-based design, material selection for HPHT and subsea environments, FEA validation, prototype and pressure testing, and producing detailed engineering documentation. You will collaborate closely with R&D, manufacturing, quality, and project teams, contributing to both standard product development and customer-specific projects.

Key requirements

Degree in Mechanical Engineering (or similar)

Three years experience in subsea or high-reliability mechanical systems

Strong CAD and FEA skills

Knowledge of sealing technologies, pressure-rated designs, and subsea materials

Familiarity with industry standards (API, ISO, IEC, IEEE)
