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.

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.
