What if your next move let you truly own your projects, build systems from scratch and work somewhere people stay because they enjoy it, not because they’re managed into it?

If you’re a Control Systems Engineer who wants more trust, more variety and more autonomy, this could be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

You’d be joining a close and friendly team, led by someone who’s been there for twenty-five years and still genuinely loves coming in every day. It’s a place where engineers are simply trusted to get on with real engineering in a way that feels natural and uncomplicated.

The company grew for years purely through word of mouth, but demand has now outpaced the team. They work across food and beverage, pharmaceutical and a mix of other sectors, designing and delivering control systems that keep production moving. Robotics is something they’ve never tackled because the internal expertise hasn’t been there, so if that’s something you bring, there’s real room to steer where things go next.

Your work would be proper end to end controls engineering, programming PLCs from scratch and delivering systems you can genuinely take ownership of. If you’ve got around five years of experience and you’re confident with Siemens, Allen Bradley or Mitsubishi, you’ll fit in comfortably.

Flexibility is genuinely part of the culture. Remote work wasn’t something they’d done before, but they hired someone who lived further away and found it worked perfectly well. Salary will fall somewhere between £50,000 to £65,000 depending on your experience, along with a range of additional benefits that reflect the level you join at.

It’s a straightforward place to work. You’ll be trusted to get on with your job, treated like an adult and given the space to do good engineering without unnecessary noise. If you prefer a calm, steady environment where people look out for each other and the work speaks for itself, you’ll fit in well.

Robotics Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK robotics hiring has shifted from toolbox checklists to capability‑driven evaluation that emphasises deployed systems, safety, reliability and total cost of ownership. Employers want proof you can ship and sustain robots in production—industrial arms & cobots, AMRs/AGVs, field robots, surgical/med‑tech, warehouse automation, inspection & maintenance. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews and how to prepare—especially for robotics software engineers (ROS/ROS 2), perception/vision engineers, controls & motion planners, mechatronics & embedded, safety & compliance, test/V&V, DevOps/SRE for fleets, and robotics product managers. Who this is for: Robotics software/perception/controls engineers, mechatronics & embedded, simulation & test, DevOps/SRE for robotics fleets, HRI/UX, safety/compliance, field/commissioning engineers, and product/technical programme managers in the UK.

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.
