Assembly & Build Technician

Autonomous Robotics | Oxford | £Competitive + Benefits

We're recruiting for a fast-growing autonomous robotics company that's revolutionizing warehouse intelligence. They design and build their robots in-house, and they need skilled Assembly & Build Technicians to join their electro-mechanical production team.

The Company

This isn't your typical manufacturing environment. The CEO is ex-F1 and brings that high-performance, results-driven mentality to everything they do. They're backed by top-tier VCs, scaling rapidly across Europe and North America, and working with some of the biggest names in logistics and manufacturing.

Their robots autonomously scan warehouses, creating live digital twins with real-time AI-driven insights. It's cutting-edge tech, and you'll be building it from the ground up.

The Role

This is hands-on, workshop-based work where you'll assemble, and commission robot subsystems and complete robot builds to the highest standards. You'll own your output - quality, speed, and precision are non-negotiable.

Your day-to-day:

  • Assembling complex electro-mechanical subsystems and complete robots

  • Working from technical drawings, work instructions, and assembly procedures

  • Inspecting, testing, and signing off completed assemblies

  • Troubleshooting and problem-solving on the workshop floor

  • Contributing to continuous improvement and R&D projects

  • Supporting the wider team to hit ambitious deadlines

    This isn't production line work - it's proper technical assembly where attention to detail matters and every robot you build gets shipped globally.

    What They're Looking For

    Essential:

  • Experience in manual build and assembly of complex, high-precision mechanical and electrical systems

  • Proven ability to work autonomously and as part of a team

  • Accountable mindset - you own the quality and delivery of your work

  • Experience inspecting and testing assemblies to specification

  • Comfortable working under pressure and adapting to rapid changes

  • Strong communication skills and a proactive attitude

  • Working knowledge of Health & Safety procedures

    Desirable:

  • Background in precision manufacturing (motorsport, aerospace, automotive, industrial equipment)

  • Experience with robotics or automation systems

    What's In It For You?

  • Private healthcare via Bupa

  • Life insurance and income protection

  • Pension: 5% employer contribution

  • 25 days holiday

  • Full meals on-site

  • Team events and a genuinely energetic company culture

  • The chance to be part of something genuinely exciting and fast-moving

    The Reality Check

    This is a high-performance environment. Expectations are high, priorities shift fast, and you need to thrive under pressure. If you're looking for somewhere to coast, this isn't it. But if you take pride in quality work, want to build cutting-edge technology, and want to be part of a company with serious momentum - let's talk.

Why Robotics Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Robotics used to be the domain of mechanical, electrical and software engineers. In the UK today, robotics is more than motors and control loops — it’s about perception, interaction, trust, regulation and integration into human environments. That evolution means robotics careers are becoming more multidisciplinary. Modern robots interact with people, collect data, operate under constraints, and often assist in safety-critical environments (healthcare, manufacturing, transport). So engineers now collaborate closely with legal, ethical, psychological, linguistic and design experts. In this article, we explore why UK robotics careers are evolving into multidisciplinary roles, how law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design intersect with robotics, and how job-seekers and employers can adapt to this shift.

Robotics Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Robotics Department

Robotics is transforming manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, agriculture, entertainment and more. In the UK, advances in robotics span autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), robotic arms, surgical robotics, drone systems, human-robot interaction, and collaborative robots (cobots). Building effective robotics systems requires not only strong hardware and software, but also finely coordinated teams with clear roles from research through deployment and maintenance. If you’re a candidate applying for robotics roles or an employer hiring through RoboticsJobs.co.uk, this guide will help you understand who does what in a mature robotics department, how the lifecycle of a robotics product works, what skills and qualifications UK employers typically expect, what salaries look like, common challenges, and best practices for structuring teams that deliver.
