Cranleigh STEM is working with a revolutionary business that utilises AI, automation, and robotic applications to design and develop new molecules for chemicals and materials.
We are looking for a senior hardware engineer to join its team on a permanent, full-time basis in Glasgow.
As a senior hardware engineer, you will work as part of a driven product development team whose focus is to develop and build automated systems and robotic platforms. You will bring your knowledge in advanced mechatronics and commercial-grade hardware development to lead and support projects from concept through to launch.
Responsibilities
Assist in developing technologies into commercial-grade solutions that meet business, user experience, and operational needs in a collaborative, fast-paced environment.
Lead fast-turnaround mechatronic projects.
Ensure designs are easy to manufacture and maintain for global deployment.
Work with the Hardware Systems Architect to ensure consistent engineering practices and technologies across all products.
Improve company efficiency quickly to maximise the value of current and future technology products.
Implement new processes to reduce costs, increase quality, improve turnaround time, and maximise overall throughput.
Optimise laboratory and company workflows for safety, quality, efficiency, and scalability in delivering multiple complex chemical synthesis campaigns.
Participate in tasks across the company to ensure success.
Requirements
Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, design, or equivalent.
Proven experience in designing, developing, testing, and launching hardware and mechatronics solutions in collaborative and cross-functional environments, including at least two years of leadership in engineering design projects.
Proven track record in creating successful mechatronics and fluidic solutions to technical problems.
Experience with various manufacturing and fabrication methods (machining, sheet metal forming, moulding, 3D printing).
Strong understanding of core mechanical engineering principles (material selection, GD&T, fluid mechanics).
Experience designing low-pressure pneumatic and hydraulic systems, and linear and rotating mechanical systems.
Clear communication with external partners for rapid and cost-effective delivery of materials and components.
Exceptional oral and written communication skills.
Hardworking and excited to contribute to the company's mission.
