Junior Engineer or Industrial Designer

Role: Graduate / Junior Mechanical Engineer or Industrial Designer

Location: Adelaide, On-site – 9 day fortnight

Australian Citizenship Required

The first job out of uni shapes everything. Make it one where you actually build things.

We're hiring up to three early-career engineers and designers for an Adelaide-based aerospace and defence company. You'll join a small, fast-moving team that designs and builds real hardware.

We're open on discipline: this could be mechanical engineers, industrial designers, or a mix. What matters more than the badge is that you love designing things and understand how they actually get made.

What you'll do

• Design, prototype and build - hands-on, across real projects from day one.
• Work in SOLIDWORKS and learn the discipline of designing for manufacture.
• Soak up everything from a senior team that builds. You'll learn more in your first six months here than you might in years elsewhere.
• Contribute to hardware that ends up on the platform.

What we're looking for

• A recent graduate, or up to ~2 years out, in mechanical engineering or industrial design.
• Or a fresh grad with genuine hands-on exposure - uni metal shop, composites, maker projects, anything where you've actually made something.
• Design ability paired with a real understanding of the manufacturing process - how a part goes from screen to physical object.
• SOLIDWORKS (or a strong willingness to get up to speed fast).
• A portfolio of your work. Especially if you're an industrial designer - a CV lists what you did, a portfolio shows us how you think.

Nice to have

• Exposure to metalwork, plastic injection moulding, or composites.
• Any practical making, fabricating or building experience - paid or not.

The essentials

• Australian citizenship is required for this role.
• Based in Adelaide, or willing to relocate.
• Competitive salary, dependent on experience.

If this sounds like the start you want, send your CV and if you have one, a portfolio of your work to ***email_hidden***, or apply here.
