We are looking for an experienced Mechatronics Engineer to join our world-class engineering team. You will be working on projects in the Healthcare sectors that shape the world's technological advancements in Mechatronics Design.

IntroductionWe are a product design consultancy that specialises in deep tech. Clients come to us to develop world-first solutions and products that cannot be easily copied by me-too imitators. We serve a wide range of industries, including green energy, consumer goods, communications, healthcare and wellbeing, agriculture and food and beverages, with offices and clients around the world.

As part of our talented mechatronics team, you'll design ground-breaking mechanical equipment that improves lives worldwide. Your work will shape the future of healthcare and advance your own expertise through hands-on experience with cutting-edge technology.

The RoleMost of your time will be focused on delivering the best Mechatronic hardware design possible for our multi-national medical technology clients, understanding their requirements and communicating clearly and effectively. You'll be hands-on in solving tough mechanical challenges, often alongside other disciplines, and in supportive project teams. You'd be working on projects across a range of healthcare sectors including Lifesciences, Diagnostics, Bioinnovation, Drug Delivery and Surgical.

Our work varies greatly for our clients, but it's likely you'll be leading work such as first-principle engineering analyses, hands-on testing and experimentation, detailed machine design and implementation, and liaising with suppliers. Your experience in these areas means you'll be able to design systems and parts for manufacture with real-world knowledge. You'll be leading Mechatronics developments and defining technical solutions. And helping mentor and develop junior engineers within your field of expertise.

We have a lot of content on our projects on our website, some relevant examples can be found here:

  • Breakthrough innovation for smaller, more capable surgical robotics
  • Next generation autoinjectors
  • Omniscia: superhuman surgery in real-time
What can you bring?You will bring an impressive Mechatronics ability and enthusiasm to the role. You'll have industry experience and apply that to the role to make fantastic impact.

Our ideal requirements are:

  • An undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering (or related subject, such as Biomedical, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechatronics etc) or equivalent experience
  • Mechatronics and/or Machine design industry experience.
  • Highly proficient in CAD, design analysis, structural analysis, rapid prototyping, technical drawings, design for manufacture, design for assembly.
  • Specific experience in hardware design for moving machinery, ideally in a robotics context.

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.
