About the role
You'll help design, develop, prototype and test a new product system from the ground up as part of a major industry-led engineering project. You'll apply first-principles engineering to real-world challenges spanning materials, structural and mechanical performance, durability, manufacturability and sustainability. Working alongside experienced engineers, manufacturers, suppliers and industry specialists, you'll help turn concepts into tested, practical solutions. For the right graduate, this is a rare opportunity to be involved across the full product development cycle, rather than simply supporting an established engineering process.
