Mechanical Engineer – Robotics

Mechanical Engineer

Who We Are

We manufacture inspection equipment for offshore platforms, storage tanks, and steel structures assets that are expensive, hazardous, and currently slow to inspect manually. We're a lean team moving fast, and we're looking for a mechanical engineer who can drive hardware from concept to manufacture.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll design mechanical systems built to survive real industrial environments: saltwater corrosion, extreme temperatures, confined access, and high\-consequence failure modes. Your remit spans the full product development cycle, from early R\&D through design validation and release. You'll own DFM\-ready drawings and the documentation to support them, manage BOMs and change control, and collaborate closely with electronics and software teams. You don't need to code, but you need to think like someone who understands what you're asking of other disciplines.

Your work will be visible and consequential from day one.

What We Need

• 2\+ years in a mechanical engineering role


• Demonstrable robotics or field\-hardware design experience (portfolio required)


• Solid Works proficiency


• Strong DFM discipline and documentation practices


• Hands\-on experience owning BOM/CBOM management and leading ECR processes


• Enough electronics and software literacy to collaborate without creating bottlenecks

• Track record taking a product from R\&D through to manufacturing


• Background in oil \& gas, energy, defense, or heavy industry


• Harsh\-environment design experience (IP ratings, corrosion resistance, impact tolerance)


• Familiarity with tethered systems, cable management, or field\-deployable hardware


• A portfolio demonstrating your skill sets

This hardware operates in environments where failure has real consequences: confined spaces on live offshore platforms, high\-pressure storage tanks, structures exposed to the elements year\-round. Constraints are tight. Margins for error are low. In a small team, your decisions compound.

What We Offer

• £35,000–£40,000 salary (depending on experience)


• Private dental insurance


• Share options package (tenure and performance dependent)


• Real impact on an industry\-changing company


• Fast learning and growth opportunities

Location

Stitchery, Birmingham

Interview Process

• CV review


• Initial video call


• Face\-to\-face meeting


• Practical and theoretical assessment


• Offer

What to Include in Your Application

Submit a CV and, critically, a portfolio or project examples that demonstrate your robotics or field\-hardware design work. We need to see real hardware you've built.

Pay: £35,000\.00\-£40,000\.00 per year

Benefits:

• Company pension


• Flexitime


• On\-site parking
