Innovo Global Talent is proud to be partnering with a leading global provider of automated warehouse solutions. Our client combines advanced technologies with intelligent software to streamline logistics for some of the world’s most recognised brands. Focused on innovation, sustainability, and long-term partnerships, they design, manufacture, and deliver high-performance systems that keep supply chains moving efficiently. People are at the core of their success — and they invest just as much in their teams as they do in their technology.

Our client is looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer to join their growing and innovative engineering team. In this role, you’ll play a key part in transforming intelligent mechanical concepts into cutting-edge control systems that drive the logistics solutions of tomorrow.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Designing and developing mechanical systems, layouts, and detailed schematics.

  • Leading the mechanical design of bespoke machinery and automated solutions.

  • Collaborating closely with electrical, software, and project teams to deliver integrated systems.

  • Ensuring design accuracy, manufacturability, and compliance with industry standards.

  • Supporting the full lifecycle—from concept and prototyping to final build and commissioning.

    What we’re looking for:

  • Proven experience in mechanical design engineering, ideally within automation, robotics, or material handling.

  • Proficiency in CAD tools such as SolidWorks or similar.

  • A proactive problem-solver with an eye for detail and a passion for innovation.

  • Strong communication and team collaboration skills

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.
