Mechanical Design Engineer

About This Role
In this role, you will work alongside local and global engineering teams to support the design, development, and maintenance of electronic systems. You’ll be involved in both sustaining current products and contributing to the creation of new ones. Collaborating closely with cross-functional teams—including firmware, mechanical, and design—you will play a key role in developing innovative electronic solutions and ensuring product quality and performance.
Main Responsibilities Include:

  • Designing and developing electronic systems for new products.
  • Maintaining and supporting the current product range.
  • Collaborating with cross-disciplinary teams throughout the product development lifecycle.
  • Ensuring compliance with relevant safety and regulatory standards.
    What We're Looking For
    Qualifications & Experience:
  • Degree (BEng, BSc or higher) in Electronics Engineering or a closely related field.
  • Minimum of 2 years of industry experience in a similar electronic engineering role.
  • Experience working under an ISO9001 Quality Management System.
    Essential Skills & Knowledge:
  • Proven experience with 3-phase motors, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and sensorless control.
  • Proficiency in mixed-signal and analogue circuit design.
  • Experience in embedded systems and microcontroller-based product design.
  • Knowledge of digital communication protocols: Serial (RS232, RS485), SPI, I2C.
  • Skilled in debugging, simulating, and validating PCBs and electronic assemblies.
  • Familiarity with safety and regulatory compliance processes, including LVD and EMC requirements.
  • Proficient in using ECAD/PCB design tools, particularly Altium Designer.
  • Strong collaboration skills across various engineering disciplines.
    Desirable Criteria:
  • Understanding of thermal management and heat dissipation in high-power electronics.
  • Experience with wireless technologies such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or Zigbee.
  • Familiarity with low-power design for battery-operated/mobile systems.
  • Ability to quickly prototype and iterate on hardware solutions.
  • Experience with safety-critical systems and hazard analysis (e.g., FMEA, fault tree analysis).
  • Knowledge of EMI/EMC shielding and grounding techniques.
  • Experience with data logging, cloud-based applications, or IoT platforms.
  • Exposure to robotic or automated systems and API-based modular control

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.

The Skills Gap in Edge Computing Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Edge computing is rapidly moving from niche concept to critical infrastructure. As organisations deploy connected devices, sensors, autonomous systems and real-time analytics, processing data closer to where it is generated has become essential. From smart cities and manufacturing to healthcare, transport, defence and telecommunications, edge computing underpins systems where latency, reliability and resilience matter. Demand for edge computing skills across the UK is rising steadily — yet employers consistently report difficulty finding candidates who are genuinely job-ready. Despite growing interest and academic coverage, universities are not fully preparing graduates for real edge computing jobs. This article explores the edge computing skills gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they consistently miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build sustainable careers in edge computing.
