Mechanical Design Engineer

Are you a mechanical engineer with experience in the design, development, and manufacturing of cutting-edge instrumentation solutions for industries such as aerospace, energy, defence, and industrial automation amongst many more? My client is looking for an experienced Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to join their team and work on a range of NPD projects where you will have a key role being at the forefront of developing and testing instrumentation systems, ensuring they meet the highest of standards and exceed customer expectations.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead the mechanical design and development of instrumentation systems.

  • Create detailed 3D models and technical drawings using CAD software (e.g., familiarity with 3D packages such as SolidWorks, CATIA, Creo).

  • Collaborate with other engineers to ensure seamless integration of mechanical systems with electronics and software.

  • Perform engineering analysis (stress, thermal, CFD, etc.) to validate the performance and reliability of designs.

  • Conduct design reviews, ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulations.

  • Prototyping, testing, and validation of mechanical components and systems.

  • Troubleshoot and resolve mechanical design issues.

  • Experience mentoring and guiding engineers.

  • Ensure successful transfer to manufacturing.

  • Create and manage relevant technical documentation.

    Qualifications & Skills:

  • Ideally degree qualified (or equivalent) in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.

  • Experience in mechanical design engineering, with a strong focus on instrumentation and electromechanical systems.

  • Proven expertise in mechanical design using 3D CAD.

  • Solid understanding of mechanical engineering principles, including materials selection, stress analysis, thermodynamics, and tolerancing.

  • Experience with design for manufacturability (DFM), design for assembly (DFA), and design for reliability (DFR).

  • Familiarity with industry standards (e.g., ISO, DSEAR, ATEX etc) and certifications related to instrumentation design would be advantageous.

  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams and clients.

    If you are a forward-thinking, innovative engineer with a passion for instrumentation design, please contact me now to find out more

Robotics Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Robotics looks futuristic from the outside. People picture humanoid machines, cutting-edge labs & young engineers writing complex code. In the UK job market, the reality is more practical and more encouraging for career switchers: robotics is already embedded across manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, agriculture, defence, construction & inspection. That means there are real jobs for people in their 30s, 40s & 50s who bring operational experience, delivery skills, quality discipline & the ability to work with real-world systems. This article gives you a clear UK reality check on robotics careers for career switchers: what roles genuinely exist, which paths are most realistic, what skills employers actually hire for, how long retraining tends to take & whether age is a factor.

How to Write a Robotics Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Robotics is moving rapidly from research labs into real-world deployment. Across the UK, robots are now used in manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, defence, agriculture, autonomous vehicles and service industries. As adoption accelerates, demand for skilled robotics professionals continues to grow. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Robotics job adverts often receive either very few applications or large numbers of unsuitable ones. Experienced robotics engineers, meanwhile, routinely skip adverts that feel vague, unrealistic or disconnected from how robotics systems actually work in practice. In most cases, the problem is not the talent pool — it is the job advert itself. Robotics professionals are systems thinkers. They care deeply about constraints, integration and real-world performance. A poorly written job ad signals weak technical understanding and unrealistic expectations. A well-written one signals credibility, seriousness and a mature robotics programme. This guide explains how to write a robotics job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a credible employer in the robotics sector.

Education Jobs

Maths for Robotics Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are applying for robotics jobs in the UK it is easy to assume you need degree level maths across everything. Most roles do not work like that. What hiring managers usually mean by “strong maths” is much more practical: you can move confidently between coordinate frames you understand rotations without getting lost you can reason about kinematics, control, uncertainty & optimisation you can turn that maths into working code in a robotics stack This guide focuses on the only maths topics that consistently show up across common UK roles like Robotics Software Engineer, Controls Engineer, Autonomous Systems Engineer, Perception Engineer, SLAM Engineer, Robotics Research Engineer, Mechatronics Engineer & Robotics Systems Engineer. You will also get a 6 week learning plan, portfolio projects & a resources section so you can learn fast without drowning in theory.
