Job Description:

Are you passionate about creating mechanical solutions that bring complex robotics and lab automation projects to life? If you thrive in fast-paced, experimental environments, enjoy tackling challenging design problems, and want to see your ideas turned into real-world systems, this could be the role for you. Step into a role where your mechanical engineering expertise directly shapes next-generation robotic and automation systems. You’ll design and integrate precision mechanisms, end-effectors, and motion assemblies, helping transform cutting-edge AI research into functional, real-world systems. You’ll be in a multidisciplinary team of mechanical, electrical, software, robotics, and AI engineers, you’ll build practical systems that bridge research concepts and hands-on automation.

Job Responsibility:

  • Design and develop mechanical systems for robotics and automation, including custom tooling, end-effectors, and motion assemblies
  • Lead concept design and option evaluation, capturing requirements and delivering robust engineering solutions
  • Create detailed 3D CAD models and engineering drawings, ensuring manufacturability, precision, and quality
  • Run simulations and analyses (FEA, kinematics, motion studies) to validate and optimise designs
  • Work closely with electrical, robotics, and software engineers to integrate sensors, actuators, and control systems and collaborate with technicians and external manufacturers to realise designs efficiently and cost-effectively
  • Support prototype assembly, system commissioning, and iterative design improvements
  • Consider structural, ergonomic, and environmental factors in system layouts
  • Contribute to best practices for design reviews, simulation, and CAD workflow management

Requirements:

  • Degree or equivalent experience in Mechanical, Mechatronic, or Robotics Engineering
  • Strong 3D CAD skills, including assemblies, tolerancing, and design for manufacture
  • Proven experience designing precision mechanical assemblies, robotic tooling, or automation systems
  • Experience in engineering simulation tools (e.g., FEA, motion or kinematics analysis)
  • Skilled in requirements capture, concept evaluation, and verification within an R&D context
  • Knowledge of DFM/DFA principles and experience working with fabricators or suppliers

Nice to have:

  • Experience with robotic systems integration and custom end-effectors
  • Hands-on prototyping experience using 3D printing, CNC, or external manufacturers
  • Knowledge of engineering standards and regulatory frameworks (e.g., CE marking, Machinery Directive)
  • Familiarity with agile or iterative development environments and rapid prototyping
  • Experience designing for laboratory or cleanroom environments
