Job description
Ensera Design is a world-class user-centred innovation and product development consultancy, specializing in the medical and consumer health sectors. As part of the Ensera Group, we collaborate globally with contract manufacturing facilities in Europe, the USA, and Asia, alongside additional design and product development teams in New Jersey and Colorado.

We are currently seeking an experienced Senior Mechanical Engineer to join our talented team and contribute to delivering exceptional solutions for our clients.

About you

You are a Senior Mechanical Engineer working in consultancy, industry or at a start-up within the medical device sector. You are a methodical and systematic thinker with a passion for understanding how products work and understanding the needs of the user.

We think someone with 5+ years of experience is likely to have the level of competence we are looking for. You will bring your own skills to add depth to our team, so you'll need to be a team player who thrives on collaborating with others across different skillsets including software, electronics and design.

Your skills and experience

Whilst you do not need to meet all of these points, please ensure you meet the majority of them before making an application:

  • A keen focus on the use of engineering principles and analysis techniques to guide the design of electromechanical systems.
  • Experience developing numerical or computational models (eg., FEA, CFD, tolerance stacks) to analyse electromechanical systems.
  • Experience in the design of mechanical systems and products from concept through to manufacture.
  • Experience in medical device development (ISO13485) and risk management processes (ISO14971).
  • Understanding and demonstrable experience of working within multi-disciplinary teams.
  • Mentoring and management of junior team members.
  • Excellent presentation skills including written and verbal communication skills.
  • Excellent client relationship management (ideally consultancy experience).
  • Experience in leading projects, taking responsibility for delivery quality outputs on time and on budget.

The salary for this role is in line with our Senior salary band, £51,000 to £73,954. Please note we ask you to provide your expected salary within the band as part of your application, this helps us understand how you view your experience against the role's scope.

Why work with us?

Ensera Design offers interesting and varied work combined with a supportive team culture to provide a stimulating environment where you will have the opportunity to develop and learn from others. We offer flexible working policies where working patterns are agreed with our line managers, taking into account the role, needs of the individual, and the team.

We recognise that we are only as good as our people and we know how important it is to support our team.

We offer:

  • Performance-related company-wide bonus.
  • Flexible hybrid working in line with our core hours (Mon-Thu, 9:30am-12:00pm & 2:00pm-4:00pm; Fri, 9:30am-12:00pm).
  • Private healthcare for you and your family.
  • Enhanced maternity and paternity leave.
  • Salary exchange pension scheme.
  • 25 days of annual leave, plus the option to purchase up to one working week and additional days for length of service.
  • Access to our Employee Assistance Programme and digital wellbeing platform.
  • Cycle to Work & Electric Vehicle Lease schemes.
  • Death in service (x4 gross salary).
  • Training and development opportunities, including dedicated learning days and regular knowledge-sharing sessions.
  • A free lunch the first Monday of every month alongside our company-wide meeting.
  • Free breakfast every Wednesday, and plenty of opportunities to socialise, including team-organized activities, summer and Christmas parties, and more.

About us

We are based in an iconic Grade II listed building in the heart of Bristol. Our vibrant workspace houses state-of-the-art labs, a design studio, usability suites, and collaborative meeting spaces. Nestled in a lively neighbourhood with independent shops, we're just a short walk from Park Street, the Harbourside, and St. Nick's Markets.

We are proud of our values:

  • Find a way: We work as one team, combining our knowledge and experience to unite around a shared goal. We trust each other and do what's needed to get things done and exceed expectations.
  • Pull together: We believe anything is possible. When faced with challenges we take the initiative, using our creative spirit and determination to find bold solutions and deliver results that move us forward.
  • Care: We act with integrity, take pride in our work, and support each other. We each play our part to make a positive impact for our customers, our colleagues, and our planet.

Our diverse, multidisciplinary team spans research, design, human factors, engineering, prototyping, manufacturing, and beyond. Together, we deliver cutting-edge solutions for clients ranging from global leaders to innovative start-ups, with a particular focus on medical devices, drug delivery, orthopaedics, and diagnostics.

Do we sound like a good match for you?

If you'd like to discuss the role or would like to discuss any reasonable adjustments you may need to make your application, we'd love to hear from you. If you think you might be the right person for us but want an informal chat first then get in touch via careers_uk@enseradesign.com.

We plan to shortlist applications as they come in. We look forward to hearing from you!

At Ensera Design we believe that designing for people means including all people, starting with the team behind the work. Our human-centred design ethos is rooted in empathy, and our values - pull together, find a way, and care - guide us in building a team that reflects the diversity of the world we design for.

We know that different perspectives lead to better ideas, stronger collaboration, and more meaningful outcomes. If you meet the skills and experience for this role, we welcome your application - whatever your background, identity, or path into design. What matters to us is that you share our belief in purposeful, people-first design.

Polite notice for agencies - We appreciate the interest from recruitment partners; however, we are managing this hiring process directly and ask that agencies do not contact us regarding this role. Unsolicited CVs will be considered as a gift to Ensera Design.
