Job Description

Our Drug Delivery Product Design & Development Consulting | TTP team is looking for an experienced Mechanical Engineer who can bridge the gap between client ambition and technical delivery. You will work closely with our business development colleagues to understand our client's needs and build compelling proposals for solving their most technically complex challenges. Once a project is defined, you will take responsibility for technical delivery and ensuring the project continues to meet the needs and ambitions of our clients.

We focus on developing robust, efficient and scalable devices that support therapeutic effectiveness and perform reliably in real-world use.

As a Mechanical Engineer at TTP you’ll work on complex engineering challenges, using a solid grounding in first-principles engineering knowledge to identify and develop solutions. This will involve a combination of creative idea-generation, analysis, modelling, design and problem solving, as well as hands-on experimental work to take your ideas from the lab to pilot scale testing. As a consultant, you’ll also use this knowledge to explore new business opportunities for the team and will have the opportunity to build your project leadership capability.

With superb facilities, bright and collaborative colleagues and the freedom to innovate, your future at TTP is what you make it. We value ambition, leadership and technical excellence and we provide a fantastic environment to develop your career.
