Do you enjoy working on mechanical designs that make it off the screen and into production?


Are you looking for a role where you can stay hands‑on while continuing to build your design expertise?


Interested in joining an engineering team that values practical problem‑solving and collaboration?


We are working with an established UK engineering business that is continuing to invest in its in‑house product development capability. As part of this growth, they’re looking to add a Mechanical Engineer with a product design focus to their engineering team.


This is a practical, office‑based role suited to engineers who enjoy being closely involved in design activity and seeing concepts progress into physical products.


The Role

You’ll be part of a collaborative engineering function, contributing to the design and refinement of mechanical products used in real‑world applications.


Typical responsibilities will include:



  • Creating and modifying mechanical designs using 3D CAD
  • Supporting prototype builds and design verification activities
  • Reviewing performance data and implementing design improvements
  • Producing technical documentation to support manufacturing
  • Working alongside other engineers to deliver project objectives

The role offers exposure to a variety of design tasks rather than a narrow project remit.


This position would suit someone with experience in mechanical or product design who enjoys hands‑on engineering and structured development environments.


Relevant experience may include:



  • Mechanical or product design within an engineering setting
  • Use of 3D CAD software (Inventor or similar)
  • Understanding of engineering drawings and assemblies
  • Ability to manage multiple design tasks concurrently

Formal qualifications are helpful, though practical design experience is equally valued.



  • Performance-related bonus
  • Enhanced annual leave
  • Pension and insurance benefits
  • Support for professional development and training
  • Additional employee benefits

Full details will be shared during the application process.


If you’re a Mechanical Engineer looking for a stable, design‑focused role within a growing engineering environment, feel free to get in touch for a confidential discussion.


Inclusion matters


We and our client are committed to building an inclusive team that values different backgrounds and experiences. If this role sounds interesting but you do not meet every single requirement, we would still encourage you to apply. Potential and attitude matter just as much as experience.

New Edge Computing Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Shaping Edge Innovation

Edge computing is transforming how data is processed by bringing compute power closer to the source of generation. With the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT), real‑time analytics, autonomous systems, and latency‑sensitive applications, edge computing has moved from a niche discipline to a core component of digital infrastructure. In 2026, organisations that specialise in or heavily invest in edge computing are expanding their teams to build distributed systems, real‑time analytics platforms, and edge‑optimised AI. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk , understanding which employers are growing, winning contracts, or securing investment is essential. This article highlights the new and high‑growth edge computing employers to watch in 2026, including UK startups, international innovators with a UK presence, and established companies shifting strategy toward edge.

How Many Edge Computing Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an Edge Computing Job?

If you’re trying to start or grow a career in edge computing, it can feel like you’re navigating a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms — Kubernetes, Docker, IoT frameworks, AWS Greengrass, Azure IoT Edge, OpenShift, TinyML toolkits, networking orchestration, real-time streaming frameworks, and on it goes. Scroll job boards and community forums and it’s easy to conclude that unless you master every buzzword imaginable, you’ll never get a job. Here’s the honest truth most edge computing hiring managers won’t necessarily say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every edge computing tool — they hire you because you can solve real system problems using the tools you know. Tools matter, yes — but only when they support clear outcomes: reliable systems, performance at scale, secure edge deployments and real business value. So how many edge computing tools do you actually need to know to secure a job? For most edge computing roles, the answer is fewer than you think — and a lot clearer when sorted by fundamentals and roles. This guide shows you what matters, what doesn’t, and how to focus your time wisely so you come across as capable, confident and employable.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Edge Computing Job Applications (UK Guide)

In today’s fast-evolving tech landscape, edge computing is one of the most sought-after fields — blending distributed systems, embedded systems, networking, cloud, IoT, data and real-time processing. But that also means hiring managers are highly selective. They scan applications fast and look for signals of relevance, impact, technical depth and real-world delivery long before they read every line. This guide demystifies what hiring managers in edge computing look for first in your application — so you can tailor your CV, portfolio and cover letter to jump out of the stack. Whether you’re targeting edge systems roles, embedded IoT edge jobs, edge-native data roles, edge platform engineering or edge-AI positions, this checklist will help you position your experience in a way hiring managers can trust immediately.
