Anthony says: "I love working with talented individuals and look forward to collaboratively finding ways to develop others in the directions that they are passionate about. I get a great sense of satisfaction being part of and leading a humming team to deliver exceptional technical solutions. Providing exciting opportunities to learn and grow together."

What you'll get to do:

The majority of your time will be focused on delivering exceptional mechanical design engineering possible for our multi-national medical technology clients, understanding their requirements and communicating clearly and effectively. You'll be hands on in solving complex mechanical challenges, often alongside other disciplines, and in supportive project teams. You'd be working on projects across a range of healthcare sectors including Medical Devices, Drug Delivery and Molecular and Cellular Diagnostics. The technical challenges we work on are often ground-breaking and seriously improve the landscape of Medical Technology. We'd love you to be a part of that.

Our work varies greatly for our clients, but it's likely you'll be bringing your best to key projects such as first-principle engineering analyses, hands on testing and experimentation, and focused detailed design for manufacture and liaising with suppliers. Your experience in these areas means you'll be able to design systems and parts for manufacture with real world knowledge.

You'll bring strong mechanical engineering ability and enthusiasm to the role. You'll be delivering high-quality work on our client projects, to specification and to timelines. You'll be responsible for delivering tasks you're assigned and defining tasks for yourself and often others. You'll have industry experience and apply that to the role to make fantastic impact.

You'll have:

  • An excellent undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering (or related subject, such as Biomedical, Product Design Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering Mechatronics etc) or equivalent experience
  • Strong design engineering industry experience. For example, but not limited to, highly proficient in CAD, design analysis, structural analysis, rapid prototyping, technical drawings, design for manufacture, design for assembly.

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.
