Overview

is working with an established engineering firm specialising in the design and manufacture of high–performance air handling and environmental control systems. Their equipment is used across a range of demanding industrial and technical sectors, delivering precision–engineered solutions for complex humidity and temperature management challenges.

About the role:

This is a hands–on design position that covers the full lifecycle of engineered systems, from initial concept through to production and commissioning. You will work closely with colleagues across engineering, projects, and production to turn design concepts into real–world solutions that perform in challenging industrial environments.

You will take ownership of varied projects, ensuring every system is designed for optimum performance, reliability, and manufacturability. The role combines technical design, system integration, and practical involvement throughout project delivery.

Responsibilities
  • Develop detailed mechanical designs for custom–built environmental and airflow systems using modern CAD platforms.
  • Carry out system performance checks, including airflow and heat transfer calculations, to validate design intent.
  • Select suitable mechanical and electrical components to achieve required system functionality and efficiency.
  • Create detailed production drawings, assembly diagrams, and supporting documentation for manufacturing.
  • Assist with technical documentation and compliance activities relating to safety and performance standards.
  • Support on–site installation and commissioning activities where required (predominantly UK–based, with occasional overseas opportunities).
Qualifications
  • Background and experience designing HVAC systems, ducting, building services etc
  • Proficient with SolidWorks or Inventor
  • Flexibility to travel to site when required, nationwide with potential for international travel.

Edge Computing Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK edge computing hiring has moved from tool‑lists to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise resilient edge architectures, real‑time data pipelines, secure device fleets, container/Kubernetes at the edge, on‑device/near‑edge ML, and measurable business impact (latency, reliability, cost‑to‑serve). This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for edge platform engineers, IoT/OT engineers, edge SREs, embedded/firmware engineers, edge AI/ML engineers, network engineers (5G/private LTE), security specialists & product managers. Who this is for: Edge platform/SRE, IoT solution architects, embedded/firmware developers, edge AI/ML engineers, network engineers (5G/SD‑WAN), security engineers (OT/ICS), data/streaming engineers, site deployment/field engineers & edge product managers targeting roles in the UK.

Why Edge Computing Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

For years, computing innovation was focused on the cloud. But as demand for real-time analytics, low-latency processing and secure local data handling grows, edge computing has become the next frontier. From autonomous vehicles to healthcare monitoring devices, retail checkout systems to industrial IoT, edge computing is transforming how data is processed and used in the UK. This shift has also changed what it means to work in the field. Edge computing careers are no longer purely technical. They now require knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design, as professionals must consider regulation, human behaviour, communication & usability alongside engineering. In this article, we’ll explore why UK edge computing careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five fields intersect with edge roles, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to thrive in this evolving landscape.

Edge Computing Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Edge Computing Department

Edge computing is expanding rapidly in the UK, driven by demands for low latency, on-site processing, IoT proliferation, autonomous systems, 5G, AI inference on devices, and regulatory pressures for data sovereignty. Businesses in sectors such as telecoms, industrial automation, retail, smart cities, autonomous vehicles, and healthcare are pushing computation and intelligence closer to where data is generated. But to design, build, deploy, secure, and maintain edge computing systems requires more than just hardware or software — it requires structured teams with clearly defined roles and responsibilities. If you’re hiring, or applying for roles via EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk, understanding who does what in a mature edge computing department will help you plan better, show relevance in job applications, and build resilient teams. This article covers the key roles in edge computing teams, how they collaborate through the project lifecycle, what skills and qualifications UK employers usually expect, salary benchmarks, challenges and trends, and best practices for structuring effective edge teams.
