About this job
We need to expand into a complete job description in clean HTML using

- only, no headings, no markdown. Must not invent specific facts not implied. Use given facts: Title Senior Mechanical Engineer, Company BAE Systems, Location Ocean Village, Southampton (note snippet says Portsmouth Broad Oak but we trust given location: Ocean Village, Southampton). Salary: £41,190 – £41,190 / year (i.e., fixed). Also snippet mentions hybrid/flexible working arrangements, and “Who we are” text. We can include that as description. Must not invent salary beyond given. Must not fabricate certifications, benefits, years of experience, etc. We can use general industry-standard phrasing for responsibilities, but must frame as typical responsibilities, not as confirmed facts. However we must be careful: we cannot present guesses as confirmed facts. So we need to phrase responsibilities as typical for a Senior Mechanical Engineer, but we must not assert they are required. Use language like “Typical responsibilities may include” or “You may be involved in”. That is acceptable as general industry-standard phrasing, not presenting as confirmed facts. Must not invent specific facts like specific projects, technologies not implied. We can mention mechanical design, analysis, testing, collaboration, etc. That’s typical.
