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

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.
