As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you will work within a highly collaborative R&D team contributing to the design and development of next-generation subsea vehicles and complex offshore subsystems operating in some of the most challenging environments on the planet. The Senior Mechanical Engineer will play a key role in concept generation, engineering analysis, and prototype development for advanced robotic systems.

Key Responsibilities

* Design and develop innovative mechanical systems and subsystems as a Senior Mechanical Engineer within a specialist R&D team

* Deliver robust engineering designs supported by calculations, analysis, and technical justification

* Lead and contribute to design reviews, ensuring engineering quality and technical integrity

* Support prototype build, testing, and evaluation of new technologies and mechanical assemblies

* Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams and external partners to develop advanced solutions

Requirements

* Degree qualified in Mechanical Engineering, Naval Architecture, Aerospace Engineering, Civil Engineering, or a related discipline

* Extensive experience working as a Mechanical Engineer or Senior Mechanical Engineer within an engineering or product development environment

* Strong experience using 3D CAD tools such as Autodesk Inventor or similar

* Experience carrying out engineering calculations and analysis using tools such as Mathcad

* Proven experience designing complex mechanical systems, machinery, vehicles, or engineered structures

This opportunity would suit a Senior Mechanical Engineer looking to work on highly innovative engineering projects developing next-generation subsea robotic systems and advanced offshore technologies.

* Competitive salary, benefits & progression opportunities.

* Opportunity to work on a range of exciting R&D projects and contribute towards innovation within Engineering.

Where to Advertise Robotics Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising robotics jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool spans mechanical engineers, software developers, controls specialists, computer vision researchers and systems integrators — a multidisciplinary mix that general job boards are poorly equipped to reach. The strongest robotics candidates are often embedded in research groups, defence programmes or advanced manufacturing environments, and move between roles through specialist networks and industry events rather than mainstream platforms. This guide, published by RoboticsJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise robotics roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Robotics Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Robotics is having a moment that feels qualitatively different from the cycles of hype and disappointment that have characterised the sector in previous decades. The convergence of advances in AI, computer vision, battery technology, and hardware manufacturing has brought robotics to an inflection point — one where the gap between what robots can do in controlled laboratory conditions and what they can do in the unpredictable complexity of the real world is closing faster than at any previous point in the discipline's history. For job seekers, this inflection point is creating a jobs market that is expanding rapidly across a far wider range of industries and role types than robotics has historically occupied. Automotive and manufacturing remain significant employers, but they are now joined by logistics and warehousing, healthcare, agriculture, construction, defence, and the emerging category of humanoid robotics — each generating distinct hiring demand and drawing on overlapping but meaningfully different skill sets. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which application areas are scaling from pilot to production, which technologies are defining the architecture of modern robotic systems, and how the definition of a robotics career is evolving beyond the mechanical engineering core toward a much richer intersection of software, AI, and systems engineering. This article breaks down what the UK robotics jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career at the leading edge of one of the most exciting technology transitions of the coming decade.
