Location:

Leicester, LEC, GB, LE49JD

Business Unit: Taylor Hobson

Posting Date: Jul 22, 2026

Job Description:

Taylor Hobson is seeking an experienced and passionate Principal Mechanical Engineer to play a leading role within our world‑class Research & Development team. This is a rare opportunity to work at the forefront of ultra‑high‑precision engineering, developing innovative technologies that operate at nanometre‑level accuracy.

In this role, you will take ownership of complex mechanical designs from concept through to production, solve challenging engineering problems, and provide leadership to small, highly skilled teams. You will have real influence over product direction, technical standards, and the way new technologies are brought to market.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead the development of robust concept and detailed design solutions
Investigate, analyse, and resolve complex mechanical design issues
Lead and actively participate in design reviews
Provide technical leadership, mentoring, and guidance to engineers and contractors
Deliver projects to agreed schedule and cost targets
Ensure designs meet applicable regulatory and compliance requirements

Requirements for Consideration:

Proven ability to work within and lead cross‑functional, matrix‑based teams, including developing, mentoring, and appraising staff
Demonstrated experience leading small teams (typically 3–5 engineers) to deliver opto‑electro‑mechanical solutions to time and budget
Strong analytical capability combined with practical problem‑solving skills and a high level of attention to detail
Ability to rapidly conceive, visualise, and engineer complex mechanical systems
Sound understanding of systems engineering principles, including drives and control systems
Ability to recognise when external specialist support is required or when an alternative technical approach is needed
Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to engage both internally and with customers
Proficient in the application of Finite Element Analysis (FEA), including stiffness and vibration analysis

Experience and Qualifications:

Degree‑ or Master’s‑level qualification in Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related discipline, with a minimum of 5 years’ experience in a senior or principal mechanical engineering role delivering products through the full development lifecycle
Proven experience leading and mentoring small design teams
Strong knowledge and practical experience of manufacturing engineering, materials, processes, and quality systems
Proficiency in at least one major CAD system (SolidWorks, NX, CATIA, or Pro-Engineer) and associated PDM systems
Working knowledge of drives and control systems
Competent user of MS Office (or equivalent)
Some experience using mathematical or analytical tools such as MATLAB or Mathematica
A fundamental passion for engineering and technology

Experience in precision engineering is desirable but not essential.

What Taylor Hobson offers you:

A multi-disciplined environment with opportunities to learn with like-minded colleagues
1pm Friday finish
Competitive salary and 25 days holiday including Christmas
Fantastic and supportive onboarding to ensure joiners are well integrated and comfortable at Taylor Hobson
Generous matched pension scheme

Employee referral scheme of £1000
Cycle to work scheme
An inclusive workforce
Free onsite parking, electric charging points and easy access to the city centre.
