Randle Engineering is seeking a passionate and dynamic Mechanical Engineer who thrives on solving real-world problems from the ground up. If you’re driven by curiosity, precision, and the pursuit of elegant solutions, this is your opportunity to work on intellectually demanding projects across a diverse range of sectors.

We’re a consultancy that values deep technical thinking, rigorous analysis and cross-functional versatility. At Randle Engineering, we don’t just build CAD models or run simulations — we engineer from first principles to develop innovative elegant solutions.

The successful applicant for this role will be a Mechanical Engineer with a minimum of 2 years of industry experience, capable of applying a range of skills and methods to solve challenging engineering problems both independently and as part of a small team.

We value and develop a full breath of capabilities in our Engineers therefore the successful candidate will be capable of turning their hand to both design (from concepts through to component & assembly release) and analytical methods such as Multi Body Dynamics, mathematical modelling and Finite Element Analysis.

The role

As a Mechanical Engineer in our small and agile team, you’ll lead and contribute to projects that demand both creative design and analytical depth, including:

• System & Component Design using CAD and FEA tools
• Multi-body systems analysis, simulation, math modelling
• First Principles Engineering — hand calculations, mathematical modelling and simulation to challenge assumptions, validate ideas and develop innovative solutions
• Client-Facing Delivery — from concept to presentation, with clear, high-quality reporting & communication
• Cross-Sector Innovation — apply your skills across automotive, aerospace and more
• Supplier & Project Management — own the technical narrative and programme delivery

Who You Are

You’re not just a design engineer — you’re a problem solver who questions everything and builds from fundamentals. You bring:

Essential Experience

• Mechanical design from concept to production
• CAD proficiency (e.g. SolidWorks, CATIA, etc.)
• Simulation proficiency (e.g. FEA, MBD, mathematical modelling, etc.)
• Confident in hand calculations, pragmatic estimation and analytical validation

Desirable Experience

• Experience and understanding of chassis and suspension design principles
• Multi-body systems analysis in MSC ADAMS
• Simulation and modelling in MATLAB/Simulink
• Hands on experience in a testing or development environment
• Comfortable with scripting and writing macros in languages such as VBA

Qualifications, competencies and requirements

• Master’s degree in mechanical engineering (2:1 or above) is preferred, Bachelor’s, Automotive Engineering and Aerospace Engineering will be considered. PhD in an appropriate field will be an advantage
• Strong A-levels (or equivalent), especially in Maths and Physics
• Competency in communication with colleagues and customers
• The role welcomes applications from all qualified candidates; however, please note that this position is in the UK and requires existing UK work authorisation
