Job description

The department of Physics are looking to recruit a Composite Design Engineer in a full time fixed term position for 3 years.
What We Offer
As an employer, we genuinely care about our employees’ wellbeing and this is reflected in the range of benefits that we offer including:
  • An excellent contributory pension scheme
  • 38 days annual leave
  • A comprehensive range of childcare services
  • Family leave schemes
  • Cycle loan scheme
  • Discounted bus travel and Season Ticket travel loan
  • Membership to a variety of social and sports clubs
The successful candidate will design, analyse and arrange for the production of both composite and traditional material components, mechanical moving parts, test rigs and experimental equipment for Physics research. A large portion of the work is in the area of precision instrumentation for experimental Physics, some of which operate within Ultra-High Vacuum (UHV) and Extreme-High Vacuum (XHV) environments. The role requires regular liaison with senior academics, research support staff, workshop technicians, other Universities and large international research establishments. The ability to develop a concept into something practical, taking ‘ownership’ of the deliverable and participating in the commissioning of equipment is essential.
The position of Mechanical Design Engineer is within the Mechanical Design Group which is a part of the Oxford Physics Technical Excellence Centre (OPTEC). The OPTEC group is made up of the Mechanical Design Group, Mechanical Workshops, Electronics Engineers Group, Electronics Workshops, Thin Films Unit, Photo Fabrication Facility, Nano Fabrication and the Cryomagnetics Group. OPTEC is charged with the support of teaching and research across the whole department and has impact and interactions with projects and research ranging from large telescope arrays, beamline projects at CERN, space flight instrumentation, fixed target Dark Matter and Neutrino experiments and atomic level projects.
The work of the Mechanical Design Engineer can be very varied and challenging; technological boundaries are being reached and pushed back through the research carried out in the Department pf Physics Department and it is in the design phase that much of the advancement in this new technology can be instigated. We are seeking a Mechanical Engineer who has the drive and determination to take an idea from concept to fabricated and commissioned assembly (or instrument), helping Oxford Physics advance the boundaries of science.
The full duties and selection criteria can be found in the Job description found below.
Application Process
You will be required to upload a covering letter/supporting statement, CV and the details of two referees as part of your online application.
The closing date for applications is 12 noon on 10 July 2023
