Conducts site visits, inspections, and surveys while incorporating safety, accessibility, sustainability, and maintenance considerations. Collaborates with engineers, project managers, consultants, contractors, developers, public bodies, residents, and businesses throughout feasibility, detailed design, consultation, and construction.

Design structural repair solutions for buildings damaged by fire, flooding, and subsidence. Responsibilities include designing and specifying sub-structure schemes, producing CAD drawings, obtaining permissions, supporting sustainable and net-zero repair approaches, monitoring site work, engaging senior stakeholders, and training colleagues. The role primarily supports listed and historic buildings and requires strong communication, organization, technical judgment, and customer service skills.

Lead mechanical design for consumer electromechanical products from concept through production. Responsibilities include CAD modeling, prototyping, testing, thermal/fluid/structural analysis, cross-functional collaboration, DFM/DFA, tolerance analysis, and manufacturing ramp support in Asia. The role requires designing plastic, metal, and soft goods components integrated with sensors and actuators, supporting high-volume manufacturing, and traveling to China as needed.

Design and deliver micro-architecture specifications and RTL for Graphcore chips. Collaborate across Silicon teams, use EDA tools and flows, contribute to block- and chip-level checks (lint, synthesis, timing, CDC/RDC, coverage), and work closely with Physical Design, Verification and DFT teams to meet silicon delivery goals.

Design Safety Engineers assess design concepts, failure modes, hazards, risks, and safety impacts for military aero-engine systems. Responsibilities include developing hazard mitigation strategies, performing FMECA and deterministic/probabilistic analyses, evaluating human-system risks, identifying critical parts, producing safety cases, and operating FRACAS. Roles range from graduate to experienced specialist levels and require collaboration with design teams to ensure applicable safety and reliability standards are met.

Build and maintain frontend-leaning, full-stack Creative and Studio products using React and Next.js. Develop AI interfaces, UX/UI workflows, proof-of-concept products, integrations, and end-to-end features. Collaborate with Design, Engineering, Growth, and Sales; iterate based on user feedback; maintain scalable, secure infrastructure; process large datasets; and mentor less experienced engineers. The role emphasizes strong portfolio work and demonstrated software engineering ability rather than formal degrees or certifications.
