Mechanical Engineer

Location: Milton Keynes
Salary: Competitive + Excellent Benefits

Are you a curious, hands-on engineer who loves solving problems, testing ideas, and seeing technology come to life?
We’re looking for a Mechanical Engineer to join a small but growing European team that plays a key role in developing, supporting, and improving next-generation automation technologies.

This is a chance to work at the cutting edge of mechanical design, testing, and technical support, collaborating with engineers across Europe and beyond. No two days are the same: one day you could be investigating a product issue in the lab, and the next, working with colleagues overseas to launch a new solution.

What You’ll Do

  • Tackle complex technical enquiries and help customers find practical, high-quality solutions

  • Carry out testing, validation and analysis of mechanical systems and components

  • Create technical documentation and reports that make a real impact

  • Support new product introductions and training across European markets

  • Explore trends in technology, standards, and competitor products

    What You’ll Bring

  • Degree in Mechanical Engineering (2:1 or above)

  • Confident communicator with strong written and analytical skills

  • Self-starter who can plan and deliver projects independently

  • Comfortable working in a collaborative, multicultural environment

  • Good working knowledge of MS Office tools

  • Passport and driving licence — you’ll occasionally travel within the UK and Europe

    Desirable Extras

  • Experience designing machined components

  • Familiarity with CE, UKCA, UL or similar compliance standards

  • CAD/CAE know-how

  • A spark of interest in electrical systems or automation

    Why Join Us?

    You’ll be part of a global network of engineers shaping the future of industrial automation. Expect a supportive environment, professional growth, and the chance to work on projects that go beyond the ordinary.

    We offer a competitive salary, private medical cover, pension, employee rewards, and ongoing training to help you reach your potential.

    Graduate or experienced Engineers considered.

    If you’re ready for a new challenge where your ideas matter and your curiosity is valued — we’d love to hear from you

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.
