Graduate Mechanical Design Engineer

Argive, a division of Alloyed, is currently designing microturbine engines for jet propulsion applications. The system architecture is simple and scalable, with outer diameters ranging from 60-240mm. Argive's development programme uses advanced manufacturing to increase performance compared to current state-of-the-art, leveraging complex designs and applying Alloyed's suite of high-temperature materials. Additionally, the engines have a drastically reduced part count, low production cost and can be readily manufactured at scale. Argive is seeking motivated Mechanical Design Engineers to support the design & prototyping of microturbines across different thrust ranges. This role involves close collaboration with experimental teams to validate and improve designs, and you will play a key role in the development and optimisation process. You will be based at Alloyed's manufacturing site in Abingdon. A highly competitive remuneration package is offered, including equity incentives. Responsibilities: Creating and iterating on 3D CAD models of components and assemblies, ensuring alignment with functional and manufacturing requirements. Developing and releasing detailed technical drawings and documentation for manufacturing, inspection, and assembly. Working closely with simulation, manufacturing and experimental teams to ensure seamless integration of design updates. Contributing to mechanical layout and packaging of components within spatial, thermal, and structural constraints. Supporting design reviews, maintaining high standards of clarity and accuracy. Maintaining organized version control and file management within PLM/CAD environments. Assisting in rapid prototyping and design-for-manufacture evaluations during early development phases. Assisting in customer vehicle integration scoping, development and testing. Investigating and root-causing failures and defects, ranging from non-conforming components to system mechanical failures.

Alloyed is a young venture-funded company of about 180 world-class metallurgists, engineers, and software developers working across 3 sites in the UK, 1 in Japan, and 1 in Seattle to build the future of advanced metal components and systems. To do this it uses proprietary software packages which combine advanced machine learning and physical modelling to invent better alloys, devise better ways to process them, and design better 3D-printed components and assemblies.
