Job Description

The Engineer I performs engineering design review and analysis assignments normally involving a major project or several smaller, less complex projects. These projects, by nature of their complexity and difficulty, require the fully competent application of conventional knowledge in a particular field of engineering or science. Through broader and more technically challenging work assignments, the incumbent will develop a thorough understanding of policies, methods, and procedures.

What You Will Do:

  • Under the supervision of an experienced Engineer or Engineering Manager, performs detailed engineering review of plans as assigned for compliance with applicable Standards, Regulations, and contract commitments.
  • Performs work that involves conventional engineering practices but may include moderately complex problems such as the resolution of conflicting design requirements, material standards or coordination of activities among other disciplines.
  • Drafts technically accurate and timely reports, and responses to client emails, technical queries and other forms of communication for review by an experienced Engineer or Engineering Manager.
  • Prepares accurate and timely weekly reports and billing on all work performed.
  • Communicates the status of your current workload to all appropriate members of the team to ensure the needs of the clients will be met on time and within budget.
  • May propose technical solutions to field operations and other technical offices.
  • May propose new approaches to problems encountered and make recommendations for changes in methods, procedures, or designs.
  • May work directly with clients to identify and resolve problems within own technical expertise.
  • Works as a team member within the multidiscipline team. May work autonomously, once trained, with minimal supervision.
  • Implements and maintains ABS Quality System requirements relative to responsibilities after undergoing ABS Quality System training.

What You Will Need:

Education and Experience

  • BEng degree in Civil, Structural or Mechanical Engineering or other related disciplines; an MEng or MSc. may be preferred.
  • Demonstrated computer literacy in engineering analysis software.
  • Exposed to the Finite Element Method (coursework or supervised research) preferred.

Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities

  • Knowledge of related technical disciplines required.
  • The ability to identify, analyse and propose solutions to problems (i.e., the competence to demonstrate complex problem-solving skills).
  • Good command of the English language and the ability to communicate orally and in writing.
  • Ability to work well with others within a team focused environment.
  • Ability to obtain a working knowledge of the ABS Health, Safety, Quality, and Environmental Management Systems.

Reporting Relationships:

Neurodiversity in Edge Computing Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Edge computing is where the digital world meets the physical one. From smart factories & connected cars to wearables & drones, edge systems bring compute closer to where data is generated so decisions can be made in real time. That means: Complex, distributed architectures Tight performance constraints Safety-critical decisions at the network edge It also means edge computing needs people who think differently – people who can see patterns in systems, ask unusual questions, spot tiny anomalies & imagine new ways to build reliable, low-latency tech. In other words: it needs neurodiversity. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too chaotic”, “too literal” or “too distracted” for a deep technical role. In reality, many traits that can make school or traditional offices hard line up beautifully with edge computing work. This guide is for neurodivergent job seekers exploring edge computing careers in the UK. We’ll look at: What neurodiversity means in an edge computing context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to edge roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in edge computing – & how to turn “different thinking” into a real career advantage.

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.
