Lead all thermal analysis and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling and simulation activities, engaging support partners as needed.
Establish mechanical engineering product development tools, test environments, V&V (Verification & Validation) plans, and work breakdown structures (WBS) for relevant products and projects.
Drive precision gimbal design activities, including the selection of bearings, actuators, and stepper motors, working closely with the supply chain.
Lead initiatives to minimize friction, hysteresis, and backlash in mechanical systems.
Perform tolerance analysis and manage stack-up, optimize structural stiffness, and design lightweight structures.
Oversee shock and vibration isolation for sensitive assemblies.
Lead sensor alignment and boresight processes and develop manufacturing methods.
Estimate project costs and level of effort required.
Manage design reviews, conduct technical risk assessments, handle engineering change processes, and mentor engineers in the mechanical domain.
Support control loop implementation and system-level performance optimization.

New Product Development and Commercialisation

Lead the mechanical engineering development of optronics products from concept through prototype, qualification, and transition to commercially delivered, fielded product.
design-for-manufacture and design-for-supportability principles from early architecture stages to support commercial delivery maturity.
Coordinate with SED France engineering department to manage the transfer of Background IP, alignment of design approach across multiple products, to setup a mechanical engineering peer review community and to receive training and mentoring from mechanical engineering optronics design expertise within Safran.

Bachelor's degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering or Mechatronics Engineering.
5 to 10 years of relevant mechanical engineering design experience.
Prior experience taking products from prototype through to commercially delivered, fielded solutions (not limited to prototype delivery).
Demonstrated ability to define system architecture, allocate functions across engineering domains, and manage inter-domain interfaces.
Proven experience establishing and implementing Verification & Validation (V&V) programs, including development of Acceptance Test Procedures (ATP/ATProcs) and formal acceptance with Defence or commercial customers.
Prior experience leading complex technical reviews with customers and subcontractors, including formal design reviews or equivalent.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage effectively at executive, program, and specialist technical levels.
Previous experience in a Design Authority or delegated technical authority role in the field of mechanical engineering.
Knowledge of gyro-stabilisation, inertial measurement, or related optronics sub-domains.
