Who you are

- We’re looking for individuals who have built full robotic systems, whether as a student, founder, employee or hobbyist. You’ll be expected to integrate software, hardware, and process into functional systems and debug failures under real-world production pressure

- This role is perfect for an individual who loves to see their own designs through from concept, to build through to deployment.

- Programming and running CNC machinery

- Design of chemical handling machinery

- Experience working with optics
- 3D CAD experience, ideally Fusion 360

What the job involves

- We’re hiring full-stack robotics/automation engineers to build and scale our automated factory in Cambridge UK. This is a hands-on, high impact role based full time onsite at our central Cambridge facility.

- You’ll be a core part of the build out, development and support of a brand current fully automated factory. You’ll design, deploy and deliver both physical and software systems as well as continually carrying out post deployment optimisations to increase throughput

- We’re not looking for narrow specialists for this role, we are looking for engineers who can:

- Create and adapt PLC code on the fly and under pressure (Beckhoff TwinCat ideally)





- Diagnose system wide failures from first principles

- Prototype mechanical and software fixes on the fly

- Work autonomously and communicate clearly to a remote team

- Take full responsibility for production system uptime and performance

- You will be designing, prototyping, iterating and optimising systems constantly, working in a dynamic environment amongst highly motivated peers

- Every day is different, on a given day you could be doing anything from forklifting steel fabrications off a lorry and designing end effectors to commissioning linear motors and debugging TwinCAT code. Here are some examples things you might get involved with:

- Configure and debug a distributed GigE vision system

- Analyze end effector behavior from video recordings and revise the geometry and control approach to optimise throughput and reliability

- Specify, test and deploy sensors for monitoring a chemical process

- Commission new robotic systems and debug their control cabinets

Benefits

- Comprehensive health benefits
- Flexible paid time-off

- Growth opportunities

- Stock options
