Overview

Mechanical Design Engineer — Edinburgh — Permanent

An opportunity has arisen to work with a robotics organisation going on an incredible journey. They are developing a piece of technology that will clear up the world we live in and save a vast amount of time and resource. It's a position that allows you to genuinely make a difference; the role will allow you to take ownership of the mechanical design aspects in the company and you can really put your stamp on things. They need a fair amount of experience here, someone who has been through a few product life cycles and knows what can go wrong before it does. The key part of this role is enabling the company to develop a repeatable product, not just a one off.

Responsibilities

Take ownership of the mechanical design aspects and contribute to developing a repeatable product rather than a one-off solution.

Required experience
  • Mechanical design - Ideally with the full life cycle.
  • Design for manufacture is a big plus, as well as a good understanding of the manufacturing process
  • Robotics or FMCG background is ideal, any form of special purpose machinery is also of interest.
  • Keen to work in a start up and get stuck into a variety of problems
  • Experience with CE marking
Work pattern

With the nature of the position requiring a lot of hands on kit, you'll be required in the office more often than not. There is flexibility and a day or two from home a week will be the norm.

Salary & Application

The salary will be competitive, especially for a start-up, this is a pivotal role for the team and will become a huge opportunity in time.

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.
