Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

Are you a hands-on engineer with a passion for robotics, automation, and seeing your work come to life on the factory floor? We're looking for a practical, skilled Installation & Workshop Engineer to join a leading team at the forefront of developing cutting-edge automated machinery for the food and fresh produce industry.

Based out of Peterborough, you'll split your time between our HQ workshop and customer sites across the UK with opportunities to make a real impact in delivering complex automation systems that transform how food is processed and packaged.

What You'll Be Doing

Assembling and preparing automation systems in our well-equipped workshop
Electrical and mechanical installation on customer sites (some overnight stays required)
Testing, commissioning, and fault-finding on robotic and PLC-based systems
Supporting the project delivery team across the full installation lifecycle

What We're Looking For

Solid experience installing or supporting automated production equipment
Strong electrical and mechanical engineering skills
Comfortable with PLC/control systems (e.g. Siemens, RS Logix)
Previous exposure to food production environments is a big plus
Adaptable, deadline-driven, and confident working in varied settings

Key Requirements

NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering
ECS card or demonstrable electrical competency
Full UK driving licence
Certifications like IPAF, PASMA, forklift or CompEx are advantageous

Who You Are

Positive, proactive, and cool under pressure
Communicates clearly and respectfully, whether with colleagues or clients
Takes pride in customer satisfaction and on-time delivery
A true team player who supports others and values collaboration

Location

You'll be based out of our Peterborough facility, so you'll need to live within a reasonable commuting distance. Site work is mainly UK-wide, with occasional short-term stays away from home.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone with real-world experience in automation, packaging lines, or production machinery who thrives on variety and wants to work with advanced robotics that are reshaping the food industry.

Ready to build the future of food automation with us? Let's talk.

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.
