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.

You will need to be an effective communicator, able to build strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders, whilst also being able to provide technical detail in both written and verbal English. This will be particularly important when generating and managing technical documentation in line with the Company’s product development process.

The role will involve travel to client sites in the UK, within the defence and aerospace sectors. As a result, the successful candidate will need to be a UK citizen.

Robotics Jobs for Non‑Technical Professionals: Where Do You Fit In?

The Rise of Robots—and the People Behind Them Robots are welding cars in Sunderland, packing groceries in Hatfield and inspecting offshore turbines in Aberdeen. According to the UK Robotics Growth Partnership (RGP), the domestic robotics market could reach £13 billion by 2030, creating more than 150,000 jobs. Yet many job‑seekers still believe robotics careers are limited to writing ROS nodes or designing gearboxes. The truth? RGP’s 2024 Skills Audit shows 40 % of advertised robotics roles focus on business, safety, ethics or project delivery, not engineering. Robots need managers, compliance officers, storytellers and change agents to leave the lab and add value on the warehouse floor. This guide highlights the fastest‑growing non‑coding robotics roles, the transferable skills you already have, real transition stories and a 90‑day action plan—no soldering iron required.

Amazon Robotics Jobs in 2025: Your Complete UK Guide to Joining the Team Behind Proteus, Sparrow & Digit

When Amazon bought Kiva Systems back in 2012, few predicted that a single orange robot would snowball into a global fleet of over 750,000 mobile units navigating fulfilment centres from Swindon to Seattle. Fast‑forward to 2025 and Amazon Robotics (AR) is no longer a warehouse add‑on; it is a full‑blown tech powerhouse with dedicated R&D hubs, £multi‑billion investment and—crucially for you—hundreds of open roles spanning hardware, software and applied science. The official careers page lists 359 vacancies at the time of writing (amazon.jobs). Whether you are a UK student hungry for a summer internship, a ROS2 wizard targeting autonomy, or a mechanical engineer ready to design the next Proteus autonomous mobile robot, this guide unpacks everything you need to land an Amazon Robotics job in 2025.

Robotics vs. Mechatronics vs. Artificial Intelligence in Robotics: Which Path Should You Choose?

The Robotics sector has seen explosive growth in recent years, reshaping industries from manufacturing and logistics to healthcare and consumer products. At the same time, emerging technologies such as Mechatronics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are converging with traditional robotics to create ever more capable machines—whether autonomous drones delivering packages, collaborative robots (cobots) working alongside human operators, or AI-driven surgical assistants. If you’re exploring Robotics jobs on www.roboticsjobs.co.uk, you may encounter related terms like Mechatronics or AI in Robotics, often used interchangeably but each with distinct applications and required skill sets. Which path should you pursue if you’re passionate about building the next generation of intelligent machines? In this comprehensive article, we’ll define Robotics, Mechatronics, and AI in Robotics, delve into their overlapping and unique skill sets, discuss salary ranges, highlight real-world examples, and provide guidance on choosing a career that aligns with your interests and strengths. Whether you’re a mechanical engineer, software developer, electrical specialist, or AI researcher, these fields present diverse and rapidly expanding opportunities to innovate in automation and shape the future of work and society.
