About This Role
In this role, you will work alongside local and global engineering teams to support the design, development, and maintenance of electronic systems. You’ll be involved in both sustaining current products and contributing to the creation of new ones. Collaborating closely with cross-functional teams—including firmware, mechanical, and design—you will play a key role in developing innovative electronic solutions and ensuring product quality and performance.
Main Responsibilities Include:

  • Designing and developing electronic systems for new products.
  • Maintaining and supporting the current product range.
  • Collaborating with cross-disciplinary teams throughout the product development lifecycle.
  • Ensuring compliance with relevant safety and regulatory standards.
    What We're Looking For
    Qualifications & Experience:
  • Degree (BEng, BSc or higher) in Electronics Engineering or a closely related field.
  • Minimum of 2 years of industry experience in a similar electronic engineering role.
  • Experience working under an ISO9001 Quality Management System.
    Essential Skills & Knowledge:
  • Proven experience with 3-phase motors, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and sensorless control.
  • Proficiency in mixed-signal and analogue circuit design.
  • Experience in embedded systems and microcontroller-based product design.
  • Knowledge of digital communication protocols: Serial (RS232, RS485), SPI, I2C.
  • Skilled in debugging, simulating, and validating PCBs and electronic assemblies.
  • Familiarity with safety and regulatory compliance processes, including LVD and EMC requirements.
  • Proficient in using ECAD/PCB design tools, particularly Altium Designer.
  • Strong collaboration skills across various engineering disciplines.
    Desirable Criteria:
  • Understanding of thermal management and heat dissipation in high-power electronics.
  • Experience with wireless technologies such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or Zigbee.
  • Familiarity with low-power design for battery-operated/mobile systems.
  • Ability to quickly prototype and iterate on hardware solutions.
  • Experience with safety-critical systems and hazard analysis (e.g., FMEA, fault tree analysis).
  • Knowledge of EMI/EMC shielding and grounding techniques.
  • Experience with data logging, cloud-based applications, or IoT platforms.
  • Exposure to robotic or automated systems and API-based modular control

Robotics Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Robotics looks futuristic from the outside. People picture humanoid machines, cutting-edge labs & young engineers writing complex code. In the UK job market, the reality is more practical and more encouraging for career switchers: robotics is already embedded across manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, agriculture, defence, construction & inspection. That means there are real jobs for people in their 30s, 40s & 50s who bring operational experience, delivery skills, quality discipline & the ability to work with real-world systems. This article gives you a clear UK reality check on robotics careers for career switchers: what roles genuinely exist, which paths are most realistic, what skills employers actually hire for, how long retraining tends to take & whether age is a factor.

How to Write a Robotics Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Robotics is moving rapidly from research labs into real-world deployment. Across the UK, robots are now used in manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, defence, agriculture, autonomous vehicles and service industries. As adoption accelerates, demand for skilled robotics professionals continues to grow. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Robotics job adverts often receive either very few applications or large numbers of unsuitable ones. Experienced robotics engineers, meanwhile, routinely skip adverts that feel vague, unrealistic or disconnected from how robotics systems actually work in practice. In most cases, the problem is not the talent pool — it is the job advert itself. Robotics professionals are systems thinkers. They care deeply about constraints, integration and real-world performance. A poorly written job ad signals weak technical understanding and unrealistic expectations. A well-written one signals credibility, seriousness and a mature robotics programme. This guide explains how to write a robotics job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a credible employer in the robotics sector.

Maths for Robotics Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are applying for robotics jobs in the UK it is easy to assume you need degree level maths across everything. Most roles do not work like that. What hiring managers usually mean by “strong maths” is much more practical: you can move confidently between coordinate frames you understand rotations without getting lost you can reason about kinematics, control, uncertainty & optimisation you can turn that maths into working code in a robotics stack This guide focuses on the only maths topics that consistently show up across common UK roles like Robotics Software Engineer, Controls Engineer, Autonomous Systems Engineer, Perception Engineer, SLAM Engineer, Robotics Research Engineer, Mechatronics Engineer & Robotics Systems Engineer. You will also get a 6 week learning plan, portfolio projects & a resources section so you can learn fast without drowning in theory.
