We are currently looking for an Incoming Goods Inspector for our client, a producer of cutting-edge integrated electric motor and power electronics modules for the automotive, aerospace, industrial machinery, robotics, and green technology sectors.   The successful candidate will take ownership of the inspection and verification of materials and components delivered by suppliers.
 
The Incoming Goods Inspector will:

Record inspection results in the ERP/QMS system and maintain accurate, up-to-date logs.
Support the Supplier Quality Assurance (SQA) team in monitoring supplier performance and identifying trends.
Collaborate with procurement, engineering, and quality teams to resolve supplier quality issues promptly.
Verify supplier documentation including certificates of conformity, test reports, and material traceability.
Identify and segregate non-conforming materials; issue non-conformance reports (NCRs) and initiate appropriate actions.  
The Incoming Goods Inspector will have:

2–4 years’ experience in a similar incoming inspection or quality control role within the automotive, aerospace, or electromechanical industry.
Proven experience of applying dynamic inspection frequencies (such as AQL).
Experience & understanding of reading and interpreting technical drawings, GD&T symbols, and inspection plans.
Technical certification, vocational qualification, or equivalent experience in manufacturing or quality inspection.
Proficient with measuring tools such as calipers, micrometers, height gauges, multimeters, spline gauges, thread gauges, surface texture measurement, hardness and coatings.
Familiarity with ISO 9001, IATF 16949, and general quality documentation requirements.

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.
