Are you looking for an opportunity for your abilities to be recognised and make a real difference?

Whether you are just starting out or you’re an experienced professional, we would love to hear from you.

We’re looking for a mechatronics engineer with an energy for problem solving and a knack for mechanical systems to join our mechanical engineering team.

We are a product development company that specializes in deep tech. Clients come to us to develop solutions and products which do not already exist and cannot be easily copied by me-too imitators. We serve a wide range of industries, including green energy, consumer goods, communications, healthcare and wellbeing, agriculture and food and beverages, with offices and clients around the world.

We are constantly evolving to meet the changing needs of our clients and the novel projects that come our way. As a result, your role will lead you to evolve and adapt to industry shifts, connecting insights from diverse fields in new, inventive ways. You’ll take these concepts and ideas to deliver breakthrough projects.

The role

You’ll work alongside colleagues from a wide range of technical disciplines to meet our clients’ needs across the product development spectrum. You’ll break down systems to their core components, revel in the details, and see your work realised in the greater world.

You’ll be exposed to the entire development process from an initial ‘how can we make this better’ statement all the way through to bringing up a factory for production. ‘Typical’ activities you may undertake include:

• Liaising with clients, defining stakeholder needs, and reporting results
• Carrying out research into cutting-edge technologies and markets
• Taking part in concept generation and problem-solving workshops
• Evaluating ideas using evidence from modelling and simulation or experimentally obtained results
• Preparation of detailed designs, from system to component level
• Manufacturing of parts and assemblies, hands-on or by liaising with suppliers
• Testing of prototypes to ensure they meet the client’s and end-customers’ needs
• Forming and providing technical leadership of project teams

You’ll work on projects that involve automation, heating and cooling systems, product design, fluidics, and challenging operating environments. These projects may see mass or low production, but consistently involve cross-disciplinary teams and a rapid pace of development.

The variety of projects means you’ll consistently face new challenges, providing opportunities to grow and diversify your skills. With frequent new projects and the chance to collaborate with different colleagues each time, you’ll have the freedom to shape your career path and define a specialism through the work and responsibilities you excel in.

We’re looking for someone who carries genuine enthusiasm and excitement for engineering and technology. You should thrive in a collaborative environment, celebrating team success, and be eager to learn new tools, techniques, and perspectives.

You will also have:

• An undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering (or related subject) or equivalent experience.
• Ability to design original yet pragmatic solutions to problems using sound engineering judgement and communicate your ideas to colleagues and clients.
• A strong grasp of mechatronics and the ability to practically apply this to real-world applications. Experience of relevant technologies such as actuators, sensor systems, control engineering, and simulation will be favoured.
• A record of developing hardware solutions and testing their performance.
• You may also have experience in CAD, MATLAB, Python, design for manufacture, and other technical competencies that show an engineering breadth.
