Role Overview

Working within AB Dynamics’ Electrical and Electronic Design Engineering team, you will develop technologically complex, high-value products from conception through to production. These projects will often involve a multi-disciplinary team of Mechanical, Electrical, Software and Project Engineers. You will work predominantly on robotic projects for our Track Test Department and Kinematics & Compliance projects for our Lab Test Department, which supplies OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers with R&D equipment for their automotive development efforts.

What will you be doing?

  • Resolve complex design problems, prepare concept designs, and produce complete systems and/or products utilising primary electrical and electronic design (wiring loom and PCB design) and secondary software and mechanical design

  • Creation of detailed electrical/electronic schematics and PCB layouts following design for manufacturability practices

  • Work with Suppliers and ABD’s Manufacturing, Test and Commissioning departments to source, manufacture, calibrate, deliver and support our products

  • Prepare and submit documentation for Engineering Releases including – engineering calculations, detailed drawings, parts lists, test reports, design reviews, regulatory compliance (risk assessments, FMEA, LVD, EMC, etc.), build manuals, installation manuals, etc.

  • Propel the manufacture of prototypes and final products through a busy manufacturing department

  • Support our global customers using AB Dynamics’ products in the field. Collaborate with them to develop solutions and envisage future product ideas for their automotive R&D capabilities

    What are we looking for?

  • Degree qualified Engineer in an Electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics or Robotics Engineering discipline, although exceptional candidates with relevant experience and/or HND qualifications only will be considered.

  • Electrical CAD & Electronic PCB design experience, although exceptional candidates with practical experience and a willingness to learn design will be considered.

  • A passion for design with good analytical skills and the ability to liaise across engineering disciplines. Creativity and a determination to succeed are key attributes for this role.

How to Find Hidden Robotics Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like IMechE, BARA & More

The robotics industry in the UK is evolving at pace—driven by advances in automation, AI, embedded systems and mechatronics. From autonomous vehicles and surgical robots to warehouse automation and space robotics, the demand for skilled professionals is growing fast. Yet despite this demand, many of the most exciting robotics jobs in the UK are never publicly advertised. They’re filled through professional networks, technical groups, academic partnerships and early-stage collaborations. In this article, we’ll show you how to uncover these hidden robotics jobs by getting involved with key organisations such as the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), BARA (British Automation and Robot Association), UK-RAS Network, and others. You’ll learn how to use directories, special interest groups (SIGs), CPD events, and innovation projects to discover opportunities before they’re made public.

How to Get a Better Robotics Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy in the robotics industry can feel like a sudden halt, particularly in such a complex, fast-evolving field. But with robotics at the heart of innovation across manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, logistics, and defence, the UK continues to offer excellent career opportunities. Whether you're a robotics software engineer, systems integrator, mechanical design expert, or autonomous systems researcher, this guide is here to help you reset, rebrand, and relaunch your career after redundancy.

Robotics Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Work Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why yesterday’s pay survey is already outdated for UK robotics professionals Ask a Robotics Software Engineer fine‑tuning SLAM algorithms, a Mechatronics Engineer chasing motor‑controller jitter at 3 a.m., or a Field Robotics Specialist testing autonomous tractors in Somerset: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The honest answer changes every quarter. Retail warehouses roll out 1,000 collaborative arms overnight; battery subsidies super‑charge autonomous delivery start‑ups; & the UK government pledges £200 million for industrial robot adoption. Each shock nudges salary bands. Any salary guide printed in 2024 reads like a dusty datasheet—ignorant of the NHS surgical‑robot procurement boom, the Midlands EV‑assembly cobot surge, or the drone‑in‑dock pilots blanketing Scottish offshore wind farms. To turn guesswork into evidence, RoboticsJobs.co.uk distilled a transparent, three‑factor formula. Feed in your discipline, region, & seniority; you’ll get a realistic 2025 salary benchmark—no stale averages, no fuzzy “competitive” labels. This article unpacks the formula, spotlights six forces pushing robotics pay skyward, & sets out five practical moves to boost your market value inside ninety days.
