But for more patients to benefit, these therapies need to be manufactured reliably, efficiently and at a scale the industry has not been able to achieve before.\nAt Cellular Origins, we’re changing that. Our Constellation platform brings robotics and automation into cell therapy manufacturing, helping developers scale their processes without having to redesign the biology or proven equipment behind them. As a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer, you’ll help make that possible by turning complex mechanical challenges into precise, dependable designs that work not just once, but every time.\n This is an opportunity to take real ownership of some of the most mechanically demanding parts of our robotic manufacturing system.\nYou’ll get the autonomy to design critical precision modules from concept through to manufacture, using your judgement and experience to move quickly towards solutions that are robust, repeatable and practical to build.\nYou’ll join an interdisciplinary team spanning mechanical engineering, robotics, software, systems and biology. Your work will sit at the point where precision engineering meets a very human goal: making cell therapies accessible to far more patients.\nYou’ll bring depth in precision design of complex electromechanical devices and use it to help us build a system that can perform reliably in demanding manufacturing environments.\nYou’ll get to:\nOwn the detailed mechanical design of critical modules within our robotic manufacturing platform.\nTurn early concepts and prototypes into stable, manufacturable designs that perform consistently.\nBuild detailed tolerance analyses and use the right analytical techniques to understand and improve performance.\nMake thoughtful decisions around materials, manufacturing methods and component design.\nWork hands-on with prototypes and hardware, learning quickly from what you see and feeding that back into better designs.\nCollaborate closely with engineers from other disciplines to solve system-level challenges rather than isolated component problems.\nUse your experience to spot risks early and guide designs from “it works” to “it works all the time”.\nHelp raise the standard of mechanical design across the team by sharing your judgement, methods and experience.\n Requirements\nYou’ll thrive here if precision design is something you genuinely enjoy. You notice the details that matter, but you also know when to stop analysing and build something.\nYou’ll bring a strong engineering foundation alongside hands-on experience taking products through development and into manufacture.\nYou’ll also bring:\nA Mechanical Engineering degree, or a science-based degree with strong, relevant industrial experience.\nHands-on experience designing precision devices across length scales from tens of microns to tens of millimetres.\nProven experience developing complex electromechanical products and delivering them into manufacture.\nProven experience working in cross-functional / cross-disciplinary teams.\nExperience leveraging analytical techniques to support design decisions with a particular focus on tolerance analyses, FEA and motor calculations.\nStrong 3D CAD capability, ideally using SolidWorks.\nDeep knowledge of material selection and manufacturing processes.\nExperience improving designs until they are consistently reliable, not simply functional.\nThe ability to work collaboratively, challenge assumptions and make sound engineering decisions with incomplete information.\nDesired experience\nExperience working in regulated industry with a particular emphasis on design for GMP.\nExperience creating appropriate documentation to support release of products for use in regulatory environments.\n Cellular Origins is currently based on the TTP Campus, within purpose-built sustainable offices, labs and green surroundings, 10 miles south of Cambridge. Our working culture encourages entrepreneurship, shared ideas and collaboration, while providing you the freedom to do your best work.\nOur employee benefits include:\nAnnual bonus \n25 days holiday \nEmployer pension contribution of 10% of salary \nPrivate medical insurance for employees and dependants \nEnhanced family friendly leave \nLife insurance worth 6x salary \nElectric car leasing scheme \nCycle to work scheme \nSeason ticket loan","description_format":"text","description_chars":4395,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Health insurance","Life insurance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Biomedical Engineering","Engineering Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-17T07:52:58Z"}],"liveness":{"score":55,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.737,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":36,"expected_fill_days":39,"reasons":["conf:6","velocity","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-09-26T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ttp-senior-mechanical-design-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ttp-senior-mechanical-design-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-27T01:29:36Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1341,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":3659,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-09-28T00:00:00Z"}}}
