Teledyne Valeport are market leaders in their specialist field. This has been down to the companies drive and commitment to achieve effective and innovative products that challenge and offer new designs to their existing marketplace.

The role is to work on the design and development of the mechanical aspects of the next generation of products, for both existing and future markets. Working with 3D solid modelling, the successful candidate will develop designs and produce technical drawings for manufacture. Other aspects of the CAD facilities will need to be used, such as 3D photo-rendering and rapid prototyping. The role has potential to develop technically to include FEA and CFD design simulation. The Mechanical Design Engineer will also provide mechanical problem solving support to the production department.

The role will suit someone with a practical mechanical aptitude, good attention to detail and an interest in developing design ideas using current CAD technology. The successful applicant will also have good interpersonal skills as liaising with colleagues, suppliers, sub-contractors and customers are essential activities.

Detailed Description

In order to be considered for the role of Senior Mechanical Design Engineer you will be able to evidence:

  • A level 5/6 qualification in a Mechanical Engineering based subject (e.g. HND/Degree)
  • At least 1 year of experience in a relevant role
  • Competency in 3D solid modelling and detail drafting for manufacture
  • An ability to self-manage
  • An ability to communicate with internal staff, suppliers and end customers
Additional preferences for the role
  • Competency in SolidWorks 3D solid modelling and drafting
  • Experience of building complex assemblies, machining or fitting work
  • Experience in working with moulded products, resins, plastics, adhesives or optomechanical equipment design

The position will come with product awareness training, use of the latest design technology, in-house and external test facilities, a supporting R&D team and above all job satisfaction of seeing designs turn into manufactured products in short lead times.

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.
