This is an excellent opportunity for a technically driven engineer to join a well-established engineering team supporting high-quality, precision manufacturing operations.

The Role

As a Process Engineer specialising in welding, you will play a key role in developing, optimising, and supporting welding processes across production. You will work closely with manufacturing, quality, and design teams to ensure robust, repeatable processes that meet both customer and regulatory requirements.

Key Responsibilities

* Develop, implement, and continuously improve welding processes across manufacturing operations.

* Define welding parameters, process documentation, and standard operating procedures.

* Lead welding process qualification and validation activities,

* Troubleshoot welding defects and process issues using structured root cause analysis.

* Support new product introduction (NPI), including process trials and production ramp-up.

* Ensure compliance with relevant welding and quality standards (e.g. ISO, ASME, AWS).

* Work closely with production teams to provide technical support and process training.

* Liaise with equipment suppliers and consumable vendors as required.

Candidate Profile

* Qualified in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Materials Engineering, or a related discipline.

* Proven experience in a Process Engineering role with a strong emphasis on welding.

* Hands-on knowledge of welding processes such as MIG, TIG, Resistance, Laser, or Robotic welding.

* Strong understanding of welding metallurgy, defect mechanisms, and quality standards.

* Confident communicator with the ability to work cross-functionally in a manufacturing environment.

* Experience in regulated or high-quality manufacturing sectors would be advantageous.

What’s on Offer

* Competitive salary and benefits package.

* Long-term career progression within a stable and growing organisation.

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.
