Industrial Control Systems Engineer- Aerospace Manufacturing – Shanghai, China.  

 

Our Aerospace client offers long term steady work prospects to suitable candidates with experience gained within Industrial Control Systems Engineering. Strongfield have been supporting the civil aircraft programs in China for around 16 years now. If you have interest to live and work in Shanghai, without long hours and high pressure, please forward your CV in the first instance for review. 

This is an opportunity for candidates that would like steady long-term work on a new Civil aircraft program, whilst giving them time to see and explore Asia and its culture. Our client has modern facilities and equipment, and they respect the experience that successful candidates can bring to them.

We will work with you throughout the whole process until you arrive and are integrated into Shanghai life.

If Asia has been on your list of continents to see and experience, maybe this could be the opportunity for you. With flights and high-speed transport links, our Engineers have been able to travel and see Macau and Hong Kong for instance.

Job Responsibilities:

 

Strategic Guidance and Technology Planning: Lead the development of a large-scale model technology roadmap for the intelligent development of civil aircraft production line equipment, promoting the deep integration and innovative application of AI large-scale models in key aspects such as aircraft production line equipment design, assembly, testing, operation and maintenance, and quality control.

Large-Scale Model R&D and Engineering Implementation: Lead the R&D of specialized large-scale models for civil aircraft manufacturing scenarios such as multimodal perception large-scale models, industrial knowledge large-scale models, and predictive maintenance large-scale models, achieving breakthroughs across the entire technology chain from algorithm innovation to production line deployment.

Data-Driven Intelligent Manufacturing System Construction: Construct a high-fidelity data collection, governance, and modeling system covering the entire civil aircraft production line process, promoting the formation of a "data-driven" intelligent manufacturing system.

Model-Decision-Making Closed Loop: Enhancing the flexibility, adaptability, and intelligence of production lines.

Interdisciplinary Team Building and Collaborative Innovation: Establishing and leading a high-level R&D team composed of personnel from multiple disciplines, including artificial intelligence, aerospace manufacturing, industrial software, and automation control, to promote deep integration of industry, academia, and research.

Major Project Application and Technology Transfer: Leading applications for major projects such as national key R&D programs and intelligent manufacturing special projects, promoting the patenting, standardization, and industrial application of core technologies.

International Cooperation and Enhanced Academic Influence: Expanding technical cooperation with top international research institutions and aerospace manufacturing enterprises to enhance my country's international voice and influence in the field of intelligent manufacturing of civil aircraft.  Job Requirements:  

Doctoral degree, exceptions may be made for exceptionally outstanding candidates. Experience in senior positions at renowned overseas universities, research institutions, or enterprises, associate professor or above, chief scientist, technical director. Internationally recognized academic or technical influence in fields such as artificial intelligence, intelligent manufacturing, industrial large-scale models, digital twins, and aerospace manufacturing.

Expertise in industrial large-scale models, multimodal AI, intelligent manufacturing systems, digital twins, industrial knowledge graphs, predictive maintenance, and the application of computer vision in industrial inspection.

Familiarity with civil aircraft manufacturing processes - assembly, riveting, composite forming, final assembly and testing is preferred.

Successful experience in applying large-scale model technology to complex industrial systems especially high-end equipment production lines.

Proficient in deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow and large-scale model training and optimization techniques such as LoRA, Prompt Engineering, model distillation, etc.

Capable of large-scale industrial data processing and modeling, familiar with the fusion and analysis of multi-source heterogeneous data such as time-series data, image data, and text work orders.

Experience in deploying AI models in industrial settings, with preference given to candidates familiar with edge computing and industrial internet platform architecture.

Have Published high-level papers in top journals or conferences such as Nature/Science sub-journals, IEEE Transactions, ICML, NeurIPS, CVPR, and ICRA.

Led national-level research projects or core technology breakthrough projects for large enterprises.

New Robotics Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Transforming Automation Careers

Robotics is moving rapidly from factory floors into healthcare, logistics, agriculture, autonomous systems, and consumer products. As automation becomes embedded in everyday life, companies are investing in robots that operate alongside humans, analyse environments in real time, and learn from data. In 2026, demand for robotics engineers, software developers, system integrators, and AI specialists continues to surge. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.RoboticsJobs.co.uk , understanding the employers that are scaling, winning contracts, securing investment, or expanding into the UK market is crucial. This article highlights top robotics employers to watch in 2026, spanning innovative startups, high‑growth scale‑ups, and established global technology leaders with strong UK presence.

How Many Robotics Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Robotics Job?

If you’re pursuing a career in robotics, it can feel like the list of tools you should learn never ends. One job advert asks for ROS, another mentions Gazebo, another wants experience with Python, Linux, C++, RobotStudio, MATLAB/Simulink, perception stacks, control frameworks, real-time OS, vision libraries — and that’s just scratching the surface. With so many frameworks, languages and platforms, it’s no wonder robotics job seekers feel overwhelmed. But here’s the honest truth most recruiters won’t say explicitly: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can apply the right tools to solve real robotics problems reliably and explain your reasoning clearly. Tools matter — but only in service of outcomes. So the real question isn’t how many tools you should know, but which tools you should master and why. For most robotics roles, the answer is significantly fewer — and far more focused — than you might assume. This article breaks down what employers really expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable, confident, and ready to contribute from day one.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Robotics Job Applications (UK Guide)

Robotics is one of the most dynamic, interdisciplinary fields in technology — blending mechanical systems, embedded software, controls, perception (AI/vision), modelling, simulation and systems integration. Hiring managers in this space are highly selective because robotics teams need people who can solve real-world problems under constraints, work across disciplines, and deliver safe, reliable systems. And here’s the reality: hiring managers do not read every word of your CV. Like in many tech domains, they scan quickly — often forming a judgement in the first 10–20 seconds. In robotics, those first signals are especially important because the work is complex and there’s a wide range of candidate backgrounds. This guide unpacks exactly what hiring managers look for first in robotics applications and how to optimise your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you stand out in the UK market.
