• Coordinate third-party prototyping houses, mechanical design services, and software providers to deliver proof-of-concept projects.

• Plan and run experiments, including measurement, debug and data capture.

• Analyse results and communicate clear conclusions, limitations and recommendations.

• Work with systems engineering, design, applications and marketing teams to understand customer systems, perform basic teardowns and assess technical challenges.

• Support technical customer discussions with data, demonstrations and practical insight.

• Explain how device-level capabilities, limitations and trade-offs affect the wider system.

• Improve lab capability by making experiments more repeatable, efficient and informative, and document useful outputs such as test reports, reference setups and technical notes.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

• Ability to collect, interpret and explain technical data clearly, in writing and in conversation.

• Familiarity with data capture, scripting or automation for laboratory work.

• Ability to take a structured approach to open-ended problems and decide what to investigate next.

• Ability to work collaboratively with engineering, applications and marketing colleagues.

• Interest in applying electronics and hardware to robotics or other emerging applications. Previous robotics or related experience is helpful but not essential.

Preferred Skills and Qualifications:

• BEng or MEng degree in electronics engineering or a related discipline is preferred. Equivalent experience gained through employment, will also be considered.

• This is an experienced role requiring proven commercial professional experience in electronics, engineering, laboratory, test or prototyping work, with the ability to operate independently.

• Mechanical design or practical electromechanical systems.

• Experience programming embedded systems and/or FPGAs, including developing, debugging, and integrating hardware–software solutions.

• Breaking complex problems into clear, actionable questions.

• Writing technical reports, notes or recommendations for internal or customer use.
