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 recent robotic systems and debug their control cabinets

Benefits
Comprehensive health advantages
Flexible paid time-off
Growth opportunities
