INTRODUCTION
We are looking for an experienced Mechatronics Engineer to join our world-class engineering team. You will be working on projects in the Healthcare sectors that shape the world’s technological advancements in Mechatronics Design.
ABOUT US
We are a product design consultancy that specialises in deep tech. Clients come to us to develop world-first solutions and products that cannot be easily copied by me-too imitators. We serve a wide range of industries, including green energy, consumer goods, communications, healthcare and wellbeing, agriculture and food and beverages, with offices and clients around the world.
As part of our talented mechatronics team, you’ll take a hands-on role in designing ground-breaking mechanical equipment that improves lives worldwide. You’ll also guide more junior engineers in their work on complex mechatronic systems. Your work will shape the future of healthcare and advance your own expertise through hands-on experience with cutting-edge technology.
THE ROLE
Most of your time will be focused on delivering the best mechatronic hardware design possible for our multi-national medical technology clients, understanding their requirements and communicating clearly and effectively. You’ll be hands-on in developing innovative mechanical solutions, often alongside other disciplines, and in supportive project teams. You’d be working on projects across a range of healthcare sectors including Surgical Robotics, Life Sciences, Diagnostics, Bio-innovation and Drug Delivery. The work we do is often ground-breaking and helps to shape the future of healthcare. We’d love you to be a part of that.
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.
Our work varies greatly for our clients, but it’s likely you’ll be leading work such as first-principle engineering analyses, hands-on testing and experimentation, detailed machine design and implementation, and liaising with suppliers. Your experience in these areas means you’ll be able to design systems and parts for manufacture with real-world knowledge. You’ll be guiding mechatronics developments and defining technical solutions. You’ll also mentor and develop junior engineers within your field of expertise.
Our culture encourages team members to develop their responsibility that suits them and you’ll have the opportunity to significantly develop your skills and career, learn from others and make substantial impact on our projects.
