Mechanical Design Team Leader

Date : 19 Sept 2025

Location : Bristol, GB

Job Function : Technical

Business Unit : Plasma Technology

At Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology , we're enabling the future-one atom at a time. Our tools help shape the micro- and nano-structures that power everything from electric vehicles and quantum computers to life-saving medical devices.

Due to internal promotion, we're now looking for a Mechanical DesignTeam Leader to join our growing team at our cutting-edge manufacturing and development facility in Severn Beach, Bristol. This is a rare opportunity to step into a leadership role-whether you're an experienced team lead or a passionate engineer ready to take the next step.

Why This Role?

As Team Leader, you'll guide and inspire a team of talented Design Engineers, supporting the development of next-generation semiconductor manufacturing equipment. You'll work on complex engineering challenges-extreme temperatures, high vacuum, fluid dynamics, and precision control-while shaping the future of our products and your team.

You don't need formal line management experience-what matters is your emotional intelligence , your commitment to developing others, and your ability to build strong relationships across the business. With the support of your manager, you'll grow into a leadership role that evolves with your strengths.

What You'll Do

  • Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing team of Mechanical Design Engineers.
  • Deliver innovative component and device designs using 3D CAD (SolidEdge).
  • Drive design verification and validation through simulation, calculation, and prototype testing.
  • Ensure compliance with industry standards (BS, EN, SEMI).
  • Collaborate across departments to translate technical requirements into modular, manufacturable designs.
  • Lead structured problem-solving and root cause analysis activities.
  • Champion continuous improvement in both product design and engineering processes.
  • Own and deliver engineering design projects-on time and to spec.

What You'll Bring

  • Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline (preferred).
  • Strong background in mechanical systems and mechanism design.
  • Experience with design validation, manufacturing methods, and engineering best practices.
  • Proficiency in SolidEdge, PLM systems, and Microsoft Office tools.
  • A collaborative mindset and a passion for developing people and products.
  • What We Offer

  • Competitive salary and structured career development
  • Private healthcare and flexible benefits package
  • Share incentive plan and defined contribution pension
  • 25 days annual leave + half-days on Fridays
  • A supportive, inclusive culture where your ideas and growth matter.
  • Ready to lead the future of design?

    Apply now and help us shape what's next.brid
