Job Description:
Mechanical Engineer — Advanced Manufacturing R&D
Derby, UK · Full-time, on-site · £28,000–£35,000 depending on experience
AM-COE is an early-stage advanced manufacturing company in Derby. We design and build our own machines — subtractive platforms and 3D-printing systems, together with the software that drives them — and our first systems are now in prototype testing.
We're hiring one of our first engineers. You'll work directly with the Technical team, take parts from CAD to running hardware, and own what you design.
What you'll do
- Design parts and assemblies in Fusion 360 and produce drawings for manufacture
- Build, assemble and test prototype machines, fixtures and mechanisms
- Work hands-on with motors, actuators, sensors, controllers and linear motion systems
- Support CNC machining and CAM preparation
- Iterate designs from test results, source components, maintain BOMs and documentation and debug systems
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What we need
- Degree, HNC/HND or equivalent practical experience in mechanical, mechatronics or manufacturing engineering
- Solid CAD and mechanical design fundamentals; able to read and produce engineering drawings
- Genuine hands-on ability — you've built and debugged real hardware, not just modelled it
- Practical problem-solving and the ability to work independently in a small team
- Right to work in the UK (sponsorship is not available)
