Youandrsquo;ll be the Mechatronics Engineer who takes specialist automation machinery from first 3D model to commissioning. Every design you produce goes from CAD to PCB to microcontroller code, and youandrsquo;ll see it built and running on a real production line. This is a role where high standards and a practical, problem-solving approach are genuinely valued, and where you can keep building expertise across mechanical and electronic disciplines.
As a Mechatronics Engineer, you will benefit from:
- Potential Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) bonus
- Holiday rising to 25 days with service, plus bank holidays
- Free on-site parking
As a Mechatronics Engineer, your responsibilities will include:
- Develop established machine designs to meet specific customer and application requirements
- Produce 3D models, detailed manufacturing drawings and Bills of Materials for frames, guarding, nozzles, manifolds and product handling assemblies
- Select and integrate pneumatic systems, linear motion, drives, sensors and actuators
- Design PCBs and write, modify and debug microcontroller software for machine functions
- Support machine build, trials, factory testing and commissioning, including occasional site visits for installation and troubleshooting
- Ensure designs meet machinery safety requirements and relevant industry standards
As a Mechatronics Engineer, your experience will include:
- A degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline
- Confident use of 3D CAD software such as AutoCAD or Fusion 360
- A good understanding of pneumatics, linear motion, drives, sensors and actuators
- Experience with PCB design, electronics or microcontroller-based systems, with solid programming fundamentals (C/C++ desirable)
- Experience in special-purpose machinery, automation or OEM machinery is desirable, with food processing or stainless steel machine design a bonus
- A full UK driving licence
