Electrical Engineer – Automation & Robotics

Salary: Up to £50,000 per annum
Location: Farnborough area, Hampshire
Hours: Monday–Friday, full-time
Type: Permanent

Join a highly advanced engineering and technology centre working at the forefront of industrial automation and robotics. This is a hands-on Electrical Design role, offering full lifecycle involvement – from concept through to testing and validation – across a variety of complex electro-mechanical systems.
We’re looking for an Electrical Design Engineer who can take true design ownership. That means leading the development of full electrical systems and confidently solving real-world engineering problems without the need for hand-holding. If you're someone who thrives on autonomy and technical responsibility, this is the ideal environment to grow and shine.

Electrical Design Engineer Benefits: 

Work with cutting-edge automation and robotics technology
Fantastic workshop and prototyping facilities
Development opportunities within a multidisciplinary team
Collaborative and forward-thinking engineering culture
Occasional travel across the UK, Europe & North AmericaElectrical Design Engineer Responsibilities:

Lead the design and development of robust, production-ready electrical systems
Take full ownership of tasks such as wiring up drive motors, integrating brake controllers, and delivering functional systems from schematics
Create and maintain detailed design documentation (schematics, test plans, BoMs)
Collaborate closely with mechanical, software, and test teams for integrated development
Support in fault diagnosis, testing and system validation
Optimise designs for manufacture by engaging with internal procurement, production, and quality teams
Mentor junior team members and contribute to technical reviewsWhat We’re Looking For:

Degree in Electrical Engineering (or similar technical discipline)
Minimum 4–5 years’ experience in electrical design for complex machinery or systems
Solid understanding of electrical integration and confidence in developing systems without supervision
Familiarity with communication networks (e.g. CANbus)
Experience with harness design, wiring, and system-level testing
Ability to read, troubleshoot, and build from technical diagrams
Hands-on mindset with a proactive and problem-solving approach

How Many Robotics Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Robotics Job?

If you’re pursuing a career in robotics, it can feel like the list of tools you should learn never ends. One job advert asks for ROS, another mentions Gazebo, another wants experience with Python, Linux, C++, RobotStudio, MATLAB/Simulink, perception stacks, control frameworks, real-time OS, vision libraries — and that’s just scratching the surface. With so many frameworks, languages and platforms, it’s no wonder robotics job seekers feel overwhelmed. But here’s the honest truth most recruiters won’t say explicitly: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can apply the right tools to solve real robotics problems reliably and explain your reasoning clearly. Tools matter — but only in service of outcomes. So the real question isn’t how many tools you should know, but which tools you should master and why. For most robotics roles, the answer is significantly fewer — and far more focused — than you might assume. This article breaks down what employers really expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable, confident, and ready to contribute from day one.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Robotics Job Applications (UK Guide)

Robotics is one of the most dynamic, interdisciplinary fields in technology — blending mechanical systems, embedded software, controls, perception (AI/vision), modelling, simulation and systems integration. Hiring managers in this space are highly selective because robotics teams need people who can solve real-world problems under constraints, work across disciplines, and deliver safe, reliable systems. And here’s the reality: hiring managers do not read every word of your CV. Like in many tech domains, they scan quickly — often forming a judgement in the first 10–20 seconds. In robotics, those first signals are especially important because the work is complex and there’s a wide range of candidate backgrounds. This guide unpacks exactly what hiring managers look for first in robotics applications and how to optimise your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you stand out in the UK market.

The Skills Gap in Robotics Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Robotics is no longer confined to science fiction or isolated research labs. Today, robots perform critical tasks across manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, agriculture, defence, hospitality and even education. In the UK, businesses are embracing automation to improve productivity, reduce costs and tackle labour shortages. Yet despite strong interest and a growing number of university programmes in robotics, many employers report a persistent problem: graduates are not job-ready for real-world robotics roles. This is not a question of intelligence or dedication. It is a widening skills gap between what universities teach and what employers actually need in robotics jobs. In this article, we’ll explore that gap in depth — what universities do well, where their programmes often fall short, why the disconnect exists, what employers really want, and how you can bridge the divide to build a thriving career in robotics.
