About the Role
We are looking for a motivated and hands-on Graduate Mechatronics / Product Development Engineer to support the development of advanced engineering and additive manufacturing machines. This is a multidisciplinary engineering role for someone who enjoys building real machines, solving practical engineering problems and working across electronics, embedded systems, software, sensors, motors and mechanical systems. The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in electronics and programming, combined with an understanding of mechanical engineering or mechatronics. You will work closely with our engineering team on the development, integration, testing and improvement of new machine systems from early prototypes through to production-ready products.
Key Responsibilities
- Support the design, development and testing of new engineering machines and prototypes.
- Develop and integrate electronic systems, sensors, motors, actuators and control hardware.
- Work with microcontrollers and embedded platforms such as Arduino, ESP32, STM32, Teensy or similar.
- Support wiring, PCB integration, electrical troubleshooting and system testing.
- Develop and modify software for machine control, automation and hardware communication.
- Integrate mechanical, electronic and software systems into complete working machines.
- Support motion-control systems, stepper motors, servo motors and other automation components.
- Carry out machine testing, debugging, fault finding and performance improvement.
- Support prototype assembly and practical workshop-based engineering activities.
- Prepare technical documentation, wiring diagrams, test records and development reports.
- Work with suppliers, manufacturing partners and other engineering disciplines during machine development.
- Contribute ideas for improving machine performance, reliability, manufacturability and cost.
