Lead Design Engineer (Robotics / Bespoke Machinery / Innovation)Midlands £50,000 £60,000 On siteSome engineering roles are about maintaining systems, this isn t one of them.This is a business designing and building complex robotic and electro-mechanical systems, the kind of projects where there isn t a textbook answer, and figuring it out is part of the job.They re now at a turning point.Up until now, it s been heavily RandD-led, fast, creative, problem-solving focused. Now, they re starting to scale and move towards production, and they need someone who can sit in the middle of that shift. The RoleYou ll be the technical lead across a small, multidisciplinary development team (mechanical, robotics, electronics, software).Not a corporate manager. Not a box-ticker.More like the person who keeps multiple development projects moving, decides what gets worked on next and why, and still gets hands-on with robotic and electro-mechanical systems when needed. You ll act as the bridge between concept-stage robotics and real, buildable products.It s a first among equals role guiding, coordinating, and driving progress without heavy hierarchy. What You ll Be DoingLeading and coordinating robotics and RandD projects simultaneouslyWorking across mechanical design, motion systems, and control challengesSupporting engineers to solve complex, open-ended technical problemsDriving development from concept through to prototype and production-ready systemsBringing structure and prioritisation ..... full job details .....
