Ready to design the electronics behind world-class precision technology?

We’re looking for a Senior Electronic Engineer to join a highly advanced UK Technology Hub in Maidenhead. This is a rare opportunity to work with a globally respected organisation that has been innovating for over a century, delivering cutting-edge, bespoke machinery and instrumentation used worldwide.

📍 Location: Maidenhead, UK
🏢 Working pattern: 3 days on-site / 2 days remote

🔧 What You’ll Be Doing

Lead the design, development, and delivery of electronic systems from concept through to production.
Design multi-layer PCBs and schematic capture using Altium Designer.
Develop embedded firmware in C / C++ for microcontroller-based systems.
Design and implement motor control solutions (stepper and DC motors) for precision machinery.
Build, test, debug, and validate hardware prototypes in a hands-on environment.
Ensure designs meet EMC, safety, and regulatory compliance requirements.
Produce robust documentation for production, testing, and certification.
Collaborate closely with mechanical, software, and automation engineers to deliver fully integrated systems.
Provide technical leadership on projects, including planning, reviews, and delivery.
Mentor and support junior engineers, setting best practice across hardware development.

🔍 What We’re Looking For
Degree (BEng/BSc or higher) in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or similar.
Strong, hands-on background in hardware and PCB design (multi-layer).
Proficiency with Altium Designer.
Solid experience with embedded C/C++ and microcontrollers.
Practical experience with motor control (stepper and DC motors).
Good understanding of EMC, safety standards, and compliance.
Experience working on bespoke machinery, scientific instruments, automation, robotics, motorsport, or aerospace systems.
Comfortable working across the full product development lifecycle.
Confident communicator with the ability to lead technically and mentor others.

✨ Why This Role?

This isn’t just another electronics position. It’s an opportunity to:
Work on high-precision, real-world engineering problems.
Design electronics that directly power complex, bespoke machinery.
Be part of a collaborative, multidisciplinary R&D environment.
Combine hands-on engineering with technical leadership.
Build technology that makes a genuine global impact.

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.
