About the role

As a Mechanical Engineer at Ontic, you'll provide technical support across the full product lifecycle, from new product introduction through to in-service support and eventual retirement. Working within a highly regulated aerospace environment, you'll play a key role in ensuring our products remain compliant, reliable and fit for purpose. You'll collaborate closely with internal teams and external customers to maintain design conformance, support engineering changes, and respond to challenges such as material obsolescence or regulatory updates. The role involves reviewing and interpreting technical documentation, implementing engineering changes through formal processes, and supporting redesign activities to meet technical, quality, cost and delivery objectives. Alongside this, you'll be responsible for investigating technical issues, identifying root causes, and implementing corrective actions, while producing clear and accurate engineering documentation to support decision-making and compliance.

Experience in change management processes would also be highly desirable. You'll be a capable Mechanical Engineer with experience gained in a design, manufacturing or technical support environment, ideally within aerospace or another regulated industry. Be comfortable working with technical drawings and understanding original design intent, with a strong analytical approach to problem solving and engineering decision-making. Bring knowledge of engineering materials and manufacturing processes, along with an understanding of key principles such as GD&T and tolerance analysis. Experience using CAD tools such as SolidWorks and Windchill would be beneficial, as would exposure to engineering calculations and design evaluation activities.
