Job Description
Mechanical & Automation Design Engineer – Bespoke Robotics & Automation
An established engineering company known for delivering tailored automation and robotics solutions to a broad range of industries is seeking a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer. This is a hands-on role at the heart of a growing automation and innovation team, with end-to-end ownership of machinery that solves real-world manufacturing problems.
With in-house fabrication, machining and electrical integration capabilities, this business delivers complete systems under one roof- ranging from high-speed ultrasonic cutting to robotics and 3D vision inspection. Their clients span sectors such as food and beverage, automotive and packaging, and each project is a one-off.
Why This Role Stands Out
*
End-to-End Design Ownership: You’ll take systems from concept and CAD through to factory acceptance and commissioning.
*
Variety and Challenge: From precision tooling to high-speed conveyors and robot integration, no two projects are the same.
*
Cross-Disciplinary Teamwork: You’ll work alongside mechanical design, electrical design, software engineers and fabricators, bringing your mechanical expertise to complex, fast-moving automation challenges.
What You’ll Do
*
Design bespoke automated machinery using 3D CAD
*
Create detailed component and assembly drawings for manufacture
*
Design integrated mechanical systems
*
Collaborate with controls and electrical teams to develop complete robotic and automated cells
*
Participate in build, testing, commissioning and client acceptance
What You’ll Bring
*
Mechanical engineering degree or equivalent experience in automation machinery
*
CAD proficiency (Inventor or similar)
*
Strong understanding of motion systems, materials, and manufacturing processes
*
Practical mindset and willingness to get involved on the shop floor
*
Knowledge of robotics, vision systems or ultrasonic/waterjet cutting would be a bonus
What’s on Offer
*
Competitive salary
*
Diverse, engaging work across industries
*
A team-first culture in a company that engineers everything in-house
*
Opportunities to work closely with electrical, control, and vision teams for holistic development
If you're a Senior Design Engineer looking to create complex, purpose-built systems from the ground up- this is a role where your ideas and ingenuity will be put to work every day.
