Job description

We’re scaling an advanced engineering programme — and we’re looking for exceptional engineers to help build it.

A highly specialised engineering team is expanding to work on complex, real-world systems spanning advanced manufacturing, robotics, and high-performance compute. The problems are deep, technical, and multi-disciplinary — this is engineering where fundamentals genuinely matter.

This opportunity is technology and language agnostic. What counts is how you think, how you design, and how you solve hard problems at the interface of software, hardware, and physical systems.

What you’ll be working on

• Advanced manufacturing systems including CNC machining and automated production
• Robotics and electromechanical systems operating at scale and under tight tolerances
• Performance-critical software and control systems
• Designing, optimising, and integrating systems from first principles
• Engineering challenges where precision, reliability, and efficiency are non-negotiable

What we’re looking for

• Outstanding engineers with strong core engineering fundamentals
• Experience across manufacturing, robotics, CNC, controls, or systems engineering
• Ability to work close to hardware and physical processes
• Engineers who can pick up new languages, tools, and technologies quickly
• A bias toward rigorous thinking, optimisation, and real-world impact

Why this role

• Exposure to complex, high-precision engineering problems
• Work that bridges software, hardware, and manufacturing
• A technically driven environment with minimal fluff
• The chance to influence systems that are built, not just deployed

If you’re an engineer who wants to work on tangible, high-impact systems — and be judged on engineering ability rather than a narrow tech stack — this is a role worth exploring.
