Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

Application Deadline: 19 September 2025

Department: Tech - Development

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: Edinburgh, Scotland

Compensation: GBP 55,000 - GBP 65,000 / year

Description

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to join our business as we continue to scale.

This role will be responsible for defining optimal design solutions and physical systems that integrate with sophisticated electro-magnetic devices.

Who we are

ENODA's world-class team are building the first truly decentralized, intelligent energy system that will reshape how we generate, store, and distribute energy.

Foundational to our holistic and integrated platform approach, the Enoda PRIME® Exchanger, is first-of-a-kind dynamic power flow hardware designed to maintain "on-target" frequency and voltage, increasing grid efficiency and capacity for distributed energy sources like renewables and EVs.

Enoda ENSEMBLE™ is our ecosystem co-ordinator of ENODA and third-party assets, able to forecast, aggregate, and bid capacity in real time, functioning as a networked "operating system" for the electrical grid.

This is more than simply managing electricity flow. It is about creating the foundational system to prepare for a radically more capable, prosperous, and intelligent future.

You'll spend your time:

• Translating functional and non functional requirements into sophisticated conceptual designs, ensuring adherence to regional design codes
• Designing and analysing mechanical components and systems using advanced CAD and FEA software tools
• Conducting comprehensive structural, thermal and dynamic analyses to optimise product performance and reliability
• Performing detailed failure mode and fatigue life assessments to identify potential weaknesses and ensure long term robustness under operational loads
• Utilising simulation tools to generate highly accurate static and dynamic models encompassing (but not limited to) mechanical, acoustic, thermal, electromagnetic radiation (EMR), noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) characteristics
• Applying advanced thermal analysis techniques, including transient and steady state heat and mass transfer modelling, combined CFD analysis of traditional and phase change cooling methods
• Collaborating with design engineers to integrate CAD design and FEA analysis seamlessly into the product development process, providing recommendations for vibration damping, fatigue mitigation or thermal optimisation
• Generating technical reports and presentations to effectively communicate analysis results, insights and recommendations to all stakeholders
• Designing robust inspection and testing plans, and actively participate in laboratory and field based testing of systems, ensuring close correlation with simulation results and hardware performance
• Fostering a collaborative environment by acting as a role model and mentor, providing guidance on CAD design, FEA modelling, analysis techniques and result interpretation to team members and colleagues

The key experience we're looking for:

• Proven track record of success as a Mechanical Engineer in a relevant field
• Proficiency in SolidWorks modelling, Ansys simulation packages and Windchill PLM
• Additional expertise in 2D and 3D drawing for complex, regulated systems
• Solid understanding and practical application of design engineering principles and requirements analysis
• In depth knowledge of static and dynamic simulation modelling, coupled with strong capabilities in vibration and harmonics analysis, fatigue life prediction and thermal performance modelling
• Demonstrated experience applying failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) and fatigue analysis to mechanical systems
• Master's Degree in mechanical engineering or a closely related field

The following would be advantageous:

• Experience working within a highly regulated industry
• Proven ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and meet tight deadlines
• Experience with experimental vibration and fatigue testing, modal analysis, and thermography

What we offer:

• Salary: GBP 55K - GBP 65K dependent on skills & experience
• Private Medical Insurance
• Flexible Pension policy tailored to your requirements
• 33 days annual leave + Holiday purchase/sell scheme
• Dental cash-back scheme
• Cycle-to-Work scheme
• Season travel ticket loan
• Enhanced company sick pay & Income Protection
• Life Assurance

This role is based onsite at Quartermile in Edinburgh.
