What You'll Be Doing as a Multi- Skilled Engineer:

Assembling and installing bespoke robotic automation systems

Working in-house and occasionally on-site with customers across the UK (and abroad)

Collaborating with a team of mechanical, electrical, and software engineers

Reading and working from technical drawings, schematics, or wiring diagrams

Taking ownership of quality, safety, and performance during system builds

What You'll Bring:

Proven experience in a mechanical or electrical engineering environment

Hands-on skills in fitting, assembly, wiring, or electrical panel build

Ability to understand engineering drawings and follow build documentation

A practical, problem-solving mindset and willingness to learn

Team player mentality and strong communication skills

Comfortable working on customer sites and occasionally staying away

Desirable (but not essential):

Experience with automation systems, conveyors, or robotics

Background in CNC machining or machine tool maintenance

Interest in developing skills in PLC or robot programming

Why Join Us?

Work on innovative, custom-built automation systems

Gain exposure to advanced technologies across mechanical, electrical, and software disciplines

Regular paid overtime + annual bonus scheme

Robotics Jobs for Non‑Technical Professionals: Where Do You Fit In?

The Rise of Robots—and the People Behind Them Robots are welding cars in Sunderland, packing groceries in Hatfield and inspecting offshore turbines in Aberdeen. According to the UK Robotics Growth Partnership (RGP), the domestic robotics market could reach £13 billion by 2030, creating more than 150,000 jobs. Yet many job‑seekers still believe robotics careers are limited to writing ROS nodes or designing gearboxes. The truth? RGP’s 2024 Skills Audit shows 40 % of advertised robotics roles focus on business, safety, ethics or project delivery, not engineering. Robots need managers, compliance officers, storytellers and change agents to leave the lab and add value on the warehouse floor. This guide highlights the fastest‑growing non‑coding robotics roles, the transferable skills you already have, real transition stories and a 90‑day action plan—no soldering iron required.

Amazon Robotics Jobs in 2025: Your Complete UK Guide to Joining the Team Behind Proteus, Sparrow & Digit

When Amazon bought Kiva Systems back in 2012, few predicted that a single orange robot would snowball into a global fleet of over 750,000 mobile units navigating fulfilment centres from Swindon to Seattle. Fast‑forward to 2025 and Amazon Robotics (AR) is no longer a warehouse add‑on; it is a full‑blown tech powerhouse with dedicated R&D hubs, £multi‑billion investment and—crucially for you—hundreds of open roles spanning hardware, software and applied science. The official careers page lists 359 vacancies at the time of writing (amazon.jobs). Whether you are a UK student hungry for a summer internship, a ROS2 wizard targeting autonomy, or a mechanical engineer ready to design the next Proteus autonomous mobile robot, this guide unpacks everything you need to land an Amazon Robotics job in 2025.

Robotics vs. Mechatronics vs. Artificial Intelligence in Robotics: Which Path Should You Choose?

The Robotics sector has seen explosive growth in recent years, reshaping industries from manufacturing and logistics to healthcare and consumer products. At the same time, emerging technologies such as Mechatronics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are converging with traditional robotics to create ever more capable machines—whether autonomous drones delivering packages, collaborative robots (cobots) working alongside human operators, or AI-driven surgical assistants. If you’re exploring Robotics jobs on www.roboticsjobs.co.uk, you may encounter related terms like Mechatronics or AI in Robotics, often used interchangeably but each with distinct applications and required skill sets. Which path should you pursue if you’re passionate about building the next generation of intelligent machines? In this comprehensive article, we’ll define Robotics, Mechatronics, and AI in Robotics, delve into their overlapping and unique skill sets, discuss salary ranges, highlight real-world examples, and provide guidance on choosing a career that aligns with your interests and strengths. Whether you’re a mechanical engineer, software developer, electrical specialist, or AI researcher, these fields present diverse and rapidly expanding opportunities to innovate in automation and shape the future of work and society.
