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 They're Looking For
- Experience with bespoke machinery, automation, R&D equipment, or precision engineering systems
- Strong mechanical design / CAD capability
- Experience taking hardware from concept through prototype and validation
- Experience with controls, embedded systems, or equipment software
- Practical experience with motion control, sensors, actuators, pneumatics, or fluidics
- Comfortable working across multiple engineering disciplines in a fast-moving R&D environment
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Experience within automation, robotics, scientific instrumentation, semiconductor equipment, coating / printing, deposition, metrology, laboratory automation, or microfluidics would be particularly relevant.
Programming experience in Python, C/C++, C#, LabVIEW, MATLAB, or PLCs would also be useful.
This isn't a narrow mechanical design role. They are looking for someone who enjoys building things, solving practical engineering problems, and moving between mechanical design, controls, software, and hands-on development.
