At Transicon Ltd, collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. Our engineers, designers and technicians work side by side to create innovative automation and control solutions that make manufacturing smarter, safer and more efficient.


We are looking for a Mechatronics Engineer to join our growing team in Telford. In this role, you will help design, develop and deliver high-performance mechanical and electromechanical systems, from custom machine builds to integrated robotics, working alongside our experienced controls, software and electrical engineers.


This is a practical, project-based position offering involvement from concept through to commissioning. It’s an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys developing creative technical solutions to real-world manufacturing challenges, while being part of a supportive and forward-thinking team.


Key responsibilities

  • Lead the mechanical design and development of special purpose machinery, including structural frames, motion assemblies and safety integration.
  • Design and integrate robotic and servo-driven systems (for example Delta stackers or Cartesian robots) using platforms such as Bosch Rexroth.
  • Produce full CAD assemblies, manufacturing drawings, bills of materials and supporting technical documentation.
  • Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams on PLC/HMI integration, motion control and commissioning.
  • Support in-house and on-site build phases, including FAT, installation and testing.
  • Identify, troubleshoot and resolve mechanical performance issues, driving continuous improvement throughout the system lifecycle.
  • Keep up to date with developments in robotics, mechatronics and mechanical safety standards.

About you

We know that not everyone ticks every box, and that’s okay. If you meet most of the criteria and you’re excited about the role, we’d still love to hear from you.


  • Degree or equivalent qualification in Mechanical, Mechatronics or a related engineering discipline.
  • Strong 3D CAD skills (for example SolidWorks) and sound understanding of mechanical engineering principles.
  • Experience in the design and integration of motion systems, actuators, sensors and safety systems.
  • Practical experience delivering mechanical or automation projects from concept to completion.
  • Strong communication and problem-solving skills, with a collaborative approach to teamwork.
  • Willingness to travel for site-based work and commissioning activities.

What we offer

At Transicon, you’ll join a friendly, inclusive and innovative engineering environment where everyone’s ideas are valued. We offer:

  • Salary - £35k - £50K depending on relevant experience and qualifications.
  • Healthcare scheme including GP helpline and mental health support line.
  • Cycle to work and cyber scheme.
  • Opportunities for professional growth and development.
  • The chance to work on a wide variety of projects shaping the future of automation in UK manufacturing.

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.
