R&D Engineer – Mechanical or Electrical Bias

R&D Engineer – Mechanical or Electrical Bias

💼 Permanent | Global engineering group | New product introduction

I’m supporting a well‑established engineering manufacturer (part of a larger international technology group) as they expand their R&D team.

They are hiring two R&D Engineers — one mechanically biased and one electrically biased — to support a major technology transfer programme from mainland Europe into the UK
, alongside ongoing product development.

This role sits between design and manufacturing, focused on turning engineering concepts into reliable, production‑ready machinery.

• Supporting new product introduction & technology transfer
• Developing and improving machinery for manufacture
• Testing, validation and problem solving
• Working closely with design, production and engineering teams

• Engineering degree or equivalent experience
• Background in machinery, automation or equipment development
• A strong practical / process engineering mindset
• Comfortable solving real‑world engineering problems (not purely desk‑based)

Mechanical bias: mechanisms, materials handling, assemblies, reliability

Electrical bias: controls hardware, sensors, drives, integration

• Investment‑backed growth and new technology coming into the UK
• Opportunity to influence future product platforms
• Stable business within a global group

If you enjoy making machines work in the real world — not just on drawings — this is a good one to explore.
