Responsibilities:

Create detailed electrical schematics, layouts, and wiring diagrams for control panels, ensuring compliance with customer specifications and industry standards.
Specify and source components such as PLCs, relays, HMIs, and sensors to optimize system performance and cost-effectiveness.
Develop and integrate control systems with broader industrial processes, ensuring seamless functionality.
Produce high-quality design documentation, including BOMs (Bills of Materials), test procedures, and user manuals.
Work closely with clients to interpret requirements, present design concepts, and incorporate feedback.
Ensure designs meet relevant regulatory and safety standards; support testing and commissioning of systems when required.
Identify opportunities to enhance design processes, reduce costs, and improve product reliability.
Collaborate with production, proposals, and procurement teams to ensure smooth project delivery.
Essential experience:

Proven experience in electrical design, control systems, or a similar engineering role within manufacturing or industrial automation.
Proficient in electrical CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD Electrical (Preferred), EPLAN, or similar).
Familiarity with PLC programming, SCADA systems, and industrial communication protocols is advantageous.
Understanding of industry standards such as IEC, UL, or BS EN for electrical control panel design.
Competency in Microsoft Office applications, especially Excel; experience with ERP systems is a plus

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.
