About the Company
Loxham designs, builds, and supplies multi‑axis ultra‑precision CNC machine tools from our base in Cranfield. We offer engineers an environment to learn precision engineering and mechatronics, from physics thinking to production demands.
Responsibilities
In this small company, you will work on:
- Develop motion control solutions that are safe, reliable, and cost‑effective.
- Create intelligent vision systems capable of recognising and aligning diamond tools the size of a human hair.
- Build automated robot tool changers for safe handling of tooling.
- Collaborate with experienced engineers on a range of technical challenges.
Qualifications
Ideal candidates are:
- Early‑stage controls/software engineers – recent graduates with around a year of experience, or HNC/D level engineers with a couple of years of work experience.
- Knowledge of Codesys, Modbus (or other communications protocols), Pilz safety, PLC ladder logic, C, and G&M code.
Benefits
We offer a competitive remuneration package and a supportive environment to develop your engineering skills, expertise, and career. We emphasize CPD and, being based at Cranfield University, there are many growth opportunities.
Our market sectors include quantum, space, and defence.
Equal Opportunity
We are an equal opportunity employer. We value a “can do” attitude. While interest in motorcycles is common within the company, it is not a requirement.
