Job description

Electro-mechanical Engineer

Location -Surbiton, South West London, and some travel may be required for site work.

About Futraheat

We are an early-stage, cleantech company formed to commercialise our novel, patented compressor technology. Our vision is to make a meaningful dent in global CO2 emissions by pioneering the electrification of industry with disruptive heat pump products.

Our core technology is a turbo-compressor – simplified. It operates at greatly reduced speeds without oil, yielding lower manufacturing, operating and maintenance costs. We have developed a full-scale industrial heat pump pre-production product that was pilot tested at an industrial site throughout 2025. Recently Series A investment has been secured to scale the business and deliver further high temperature heat pump products to industrial end users.

About the Position

We are looking for a full-time Electro-mechanical Engineer with a mix of electrical, mechanical and systems engineering experience to join our growing team. This is an excellent opportunity for a candidate who enjoys a varied role covering electrical and mechanical design, control integration and hands‑on assembly work in product development with some field testing. Knowledge of motors and compressors is desirable, but above all a willingness to learn and contribute to a collaborative and innovative environment is key.

As an early‑stage company our roles are broad, will evolve as we progress from core technology to mature product, and will suit those who are flexible, creative and pro‑active.

Some of the capabilities and duties required include:

• Electronic systems design from the component level including defining specifications, instrumentation and parts selection, engineering analysis, calculation and simulation
• Competent CAD skills to produce mechanical/electrical designs and engineering drawings
• Ability to produce and interpret P&IDs, schematics and circuit diagrams
• Mechanical and electrical (inc. wiring) assembly, commissioning and testing of products
• Ability to define control strategies and/or simulate control systems using MATLAB Simulink/Simscape or similar is desirable
• Experience with industrial PLCs and knowledge of the Internet of Things (IoT) is desirable
• Commissioning and testing of motors, compressors and heat pumps
• Troubleshooting skills and mindset to process testing data looking for system improvements
• Engineering documentation and report writing
• Knowledge of and/or qualification in relevant industrial electrical standards is desirable
• Installation and testing of new products at industrial sites requiring periods of off‑site working

Systems we use include SolidWorks, AutoCAD, ANSYS, MATLAB and LabVIEW.

Qualifications

A Bachelor's degree (or higher) in Electrical, Mechanical or Systems engineering or a closely related discipline. Minimum of 3 years relevant experience. We will support technical, professional and personal development on the job and externally, as well as those engineers seeking/maintaining Chartership.
