MECHANICAL ENGINEER

FULL-TIME | UK & ARCTIC | ENGINEERING

THE LAST FRONTIER

Arctic Research and Development (ARD) is building technology to unlock the last great frontier on Earth. An expanse 1.5 times the size of the US, the Arctic is becoming the epicenter of geopolitical tensions, climatic shifts, and economic opportunity. We cut through this complexity — while preserving the integrity of the planet’s most fragile wilderness.

Built by pioneers with 30+ years of polar experience, we know that autonomous systems are the key to operational success. Working at the fringes of technological capabilities, this is a company that takes big bets on hard problems.

If you want to build and deploy ground-up technology with real-world impact - at an inflection point in history that won’t reappear - we want you at ARD.

THE ROLE

We’re looking for Mechanical Engineers to own the design, build, and deployment of cold-hardened hardware — from field-ready energy systems to autonomous surface and sub-surface platforms. You’ll work from first principles to engineer real-world solutions that operate where failure isn’t an option. You’ll lead end-to-end design, push hardware and material limits, and take your work into the field — from the workshop to the Arctic.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Design, test, and deliver Arctic-ready hardware from cradle to deployment for ARD’s product-line
  • Drive materials choices, joinery, sealing, and reliability under thermal/mechanical stress
  • Lead cold-chamber and durability testing to ensure performance in sub-zero climates
  • Integrate closely with electrical, software, and deployment teams (systems, software, GIS, RF)
  • Set QA standards to ensure our systems stay bulletproof in the harshest conditions
  • Travel to the Arctic for R&D field testing and meetings with industry reps

WHAT WE VALUE

  • 3+ years in 3D CAD experience ( Siemens NX, SolidWorks)
  • A degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering with a portfolio of high-fidelity hardware dev
  • Experience with taking a product from concept design to production, with a strong grasp of DfMA.
  • Hands-on prototype and testing experience, working alongside multi-disciplinary engineering teams
  • Readiness to operate in safe but cold environments while conducting R&D prototype field tests

BONUS SKILLS

  • Knowledge of environmental and reliability testing (e.g. thermal cycling, vibration, shock)
  • Familiarity of electrical systems to ensure a holistic approach to hardware design
  • Basic understanding of RF systems and components
  • Previous experience working within an R&D workshop

WHAT WE OFFER

  • Stock options and a competitive compensation
  • Mission-driven culture – focus on impact, not hours logged
  • Real field exposure – travel to Arctic sites and Outposts when needed

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
