We are seeking a hands-on technician to support the verification of complex electromechanical systems. This role involves executing formal and exploratory test protocols, documenting results and ensuring the reliability and calibration of test equipment. You will need to have experience testing physical/mechanical products rather than purely software.

Responsibilities

Execute structured test protocols based on system and sub-system requirements.
Use a variety of tools including power supplies, oscilloscopes, multimeters, force gauges and hand tools.
Document test results in formal reports following good documentation practices.
Identify and report deviations or issues during testing.
Maintain and calibrate test equipment as needed.
Support exploratory testing for new features and system enhancements.
Collaborate with team members to improve testing processes and efficiency.
Track and report progress to task leads and project teams.

Requirements
Experience in manual testing of complex systems, ideally in a regulated environment.
Familiarity with executing tests using software-driven scripts.
Proficiency with electronic and measurement tools (e.g., bench power supplies, multimeters, oscilloscopes).
Strong communication and teamwork skills.
Attention to detail and accurate record-keeping.
Experience managing and maintaining test equipment.
Working knowledge of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel).
Ideally, experience with issue tracking tools and Agile methodologies.
Understanding of lab health and safety and good lab practices.
Experience with motion tracking systems or industrial robotics is a plus.
A proactive attitude and willingness to learn.
Technical qualification (e.g., HNC/ONC or equivalent).

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.
