We are not accepting applications from candidates outside of the UK ***
Our new Electrical Design Engineer will design and develop electrical solutions for robot-based, electromechanical systems for use in factory and process automation. Working collaboratively across departments, the Company will rely on your electrical knowledge and expertise to design safe and effective solutions for our clients.
You will ideally have used EPLAN electrical design software and have experience designing industrial control cabinets. Whilst you will be predominantly designing, you may be required to join our workshop team on occasion to get stuck in, fault-find, and identify solutions. Therefore, having previous experience of electrical building would be highly advantageous.
About you

  • Degree/HND/HNC in electrical engineering or equivalent qualifications and/or experience
  • Previous experience within an electrical design role, or a role that has required a reasonable degree of electrical design
  • Proficient in the creation of Electrical Schematics
  • EPLAN preferred
  • Demonstrable ability to create 2D electrical panel layouts
  • Able to manage your own time and prioritise tasks based on high-level project milestones and objectives
  • Willing and interested in learning new technology
  • Knowledge and ability to work to the required standards
  • Proficient with MC Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
  • Natural problem-solving abilities
  • Willing to get hands-on and stuck in if required.
  • Must be able to drive in the UK.

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.
