About the Company

An innovative robotics and motion control engineering company based in Bristol is seeking a Graduate Electronics Engineer to join its growing technical team.

The business develops advanced robotic platforms, motion control systems, and high-performance electronics for a range of industrial and automation applications. With a small but highly skilled multidisciplinary team, they design and build everything from the ground up — including PCBs, control systems, software, and mechanical assemblies.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a company working at the forefront of robotics and embedded systems, where you’ll gain exposure to full-cycle engineering in a fast-paced, hands-on environment.

The Role

As a Graduate Electronics Engineer, you’ll be involved in the design and development of printed circuit boards (PCBs) used in high-frequency, high-performance motion control systems. You’ll work closely with experienced engineers across electronics, embedded software, and mechanical design to bring innovative robotic systems to life.

From day one, you’ll have the opportunity to make a direct impact on live projects and see your designs come to fruition in real-world applications.

Key Responsibilities



Design and develop PCBs for robotic and motion control systems

*

Work on digital electronics design and embedded controller integration

*

Assist with microcontroller programming and circuit validation

*

Support prototyping, testing, and fault-finding activities

*

Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineers on R&D and production projects

*

Participate in full product development lifecycle from concept to delivery

About You

You’ll be a hands-on engineer who loves to build and create. The team is looking for someone who is technically curious, proactive, and eager to learn — not afraid to get stuck into real hardware design.

Essential Requirements:

*

A degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, or Robotics

*

Strong academic record with solid fundamentals in circuit design

*

Experience with PCB layout tools (e.g. Altium, KiCad, Eagle)

*

Some knowledge of microcontrollers and C/C++ programming

*

Practical, problem-solving mindset — ideally demonstrated through personal or university projects

*

Full right to work in the UK (no visa sponsorship available)

*

Able to work from the Bristol office

Desirable

*

Exposure to motor control, robotics, or automation projects

*

Understanding of analogue electronics or power systems

*

Previous internship or project-based experience in electronics design

What’s on Offer

*

£30,000 starting salary

*

Discretionary profit-sharing bonus

*

Flexible, outcome-focused working hours

*

Career progression in a rapidly growing robotics business

Why Join

You’ll join a small, close-knit engineering team where your ideas matter and your work directly contributes to next-generation robotics. If you’re passionate about building, designing, and solving complex engineering challenges, this is an ideal opportunity to launch your career

Robotics Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK robotics hiring has shifted from toolbox checklists to capability‑driven evaluation that emphasises deployed systems, safety, reliability and total cost of ownership. Employers want proof you can ship and sustain robots in production—industrial arms & cobots, AMRs/AGVs, field robots, surgical/med‑tech, warehouse automation, inspection & maintenance. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews and how to prepare—especially for robotics software engineers (ROS/ROS 2), perception/vision engineers, controls & motion planners, mechatronics & embedded, safety & compliance, test/V&V, DevOps/SRE for fleets, and robotics product managers. Who this is for: Robotics software/perception/controls engineers, mechatronics & embedded, simulation & test, DevOps/SRE for robotics fleets, HRI/UX, safety/compliance, field/commissioning engineers, and product/technical programme managers in the UK.

Why Robotics Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Robotics used to be the domain of mechanical, electrical and software engineers. In the UK today, robotics is more than motors and control loops — it’s about perception, interaction, trust, regulation and integration into human environments. That evolution means robotics careers are becoming more multidisciplinary. Modern robots interact with people, collect data, operate under constraints, and often assist in safety-critical environments (healthcare, manufacturing, transport). So engineers now collaborate closely with legal, ethical, psychological, linguistic and design experts. In this article, we explore why UK robotics careers are evolving into multidisciplinary roles, how law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design intersect with robotics, and how job-seekers and employers can adapt to this shift.

Robotics Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Robotics Department

Robotics is transforming manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, agriculture, entertainment and more. In the UK, advances in robotics span autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), robotic arms, surgical robotics, drone systems, human-robot interaction, and collaborative robots (cobots). Building effective robotics systems requires not only strong hardware and software, but also finely coordinated teams with clear roles from research through deployment and maintenance. If you’re a candidate applying for robotics roles or an employer hiring through RoboticsJobs.co.uk, this guide will help you understand who does what in a mature robotics department, how the lifecycle of a robotics product works, what skills and qualifications UK employers typically expect, what salaries look like, common challenges, and best practices for structuring teams that deliver.
