Mechanical Systems Engineer – Precision R&D Systems

Oxfordshire

I’m working with a growing optical technology company developing a novel adaptive lens platform, with applications across AR/VR, machine vision, and regulated medical devices.

They are looking to hire a Mechanical Systems Engineer to take ownership of system-level mechanical development, someone who has led the delivery of complex, precision hardware systems and is still comfortable working hands‑on with the engineering.

The Role

This is a system-level role, but not a purely theoretical one.

You will be responsible for defining, developing, and integrating mechanical systems where performance depends on tight tolerances, interaction between sub-systems, and careful management of technical risk.

You’ll work closely with mechanical design, analysis, optics, and manufacturing teams ensuring that individual components come together into a coherent, high-perfor...
