Edinburgh, United Kingdom SolarSub Full time

Mechanical Design Engineer Location: Type: Full-time

The company has developed a patent-pending passive cooling technology to negate the impact of overheating on solar panel efficiency and lifespan, achieving a double-digit improvement in revenue. Initially, we are deploying in the floating solar market globally, unlocking more favourable project economics. 

The technology has been validated at the University of Edinburgh, with infield trials ongoing in Dubai. We are now moving to our next stage of commercialisation, setting up field trials with strategic end-users. 

We are seeking a Mechanical Engineer to join our team and support us in our technical development. This role offers a chance to contribute to driving a fundamental shift in renewable energy by maximising the efficiency of solar. The role will be based in Livingston/Greater Edinburgh Area on a full-time basis, initially with flexibility for virtual working, but will require an increase in in-person presence in an office and lab facility. 

You will be responsible for ensuring that SolarSub’s designs can transition efficiently from prototype to scalable production. You will be responsible for aligning product design with manufacturing standards, material specifications, and supplier capabilities. 

Develop manufacturable designs aligned with DFM/DFA principles to reduce costs, mitigate risk and complexity. 
Collaborate with manufacturing partners to ensure compatibility with industrial processes (framing, lamination, assembly & deployment).
Create and maintain all manufacturing documentation (work instructions, BOMs, drawings, SOPs, QC procedures).
Ensure end-to-end mechanical integrity and regulatory compliance across floating solar and the applicable supply chain.
An engineering degree in mechanical, aerospace, or other related fields.
Proficiency in CAD (Solidworks or equivalent) and creation/maintenance of engineering/manufacturing documentation
Experience in mechanical design for production, preferably in renewable energy.
