About AssetCool
AssetCool is addressing one of the most pressing challenges in the global energy transition - grid congestion. By combining cutting-edge grid robotics with breakthrough materials science, our technology transforms the physical performance of the grid in situ, increasing current-carrying capacity by up to 30%, at just 5% of the cost and in a tenth of the time compared to conventional approaches.
In addition to enhancing capacity, our solutions tackle other grid constraints including corrosion, electrical noise, and enable the collection of high-value data to build accurate, predictive digital twins. This technology is proving transformative and is being adopted at an accelerating pace, with deployments across Canada, Slovenia, the UK, and the USA, and a strong global deployment pipeline.
AssetCool is a fast-growing company with plans to more than double in size over the next six months. Backed by international investors from the US, mainland Europe, and the UK, we are proud to be one of the most innovation-focused companies in the UK energy sector.
We’re looking for ambitious, mission-driven individuals who are excited to work hard alongside their colleagues to build and deploy world-leading technology that tackles some of the planet’s most urgent infrastructure challenges.
Role Overview
We are hiring Mechatronics Engineers at both Junior and Senior levels to join our growing team. You will work across the full product lifecycle: from early-stage R&D to final product deployment and field testing. The role involves a mix of mechanical design, system integration, and production coordination — all within the high-impact field of robotics for energy infrastructure.
This is a hands-on role suited to engineers passionate about building real-world, cutting-edge hardware. Our Senior Engineers will lead design efforts and mentor others, while Junior Engineers will contribute to design and development with the support of experienced colleagues.
Key Responsibilities
For All Levels:
* Contribute to the development of mechatronic and robotic systems for outdoor deployment
* Assist in the design, prototyping, and testing of components, enclosures, and integrated assemblies
* Support system integration involving mechanical, electrical, and embedded systems
* Engage in field testing and troubleshooting in real-world environments
Additional for Senior Engineers:
* Lead the design and development of robust, scalable robotic systems
* Own technical direction from prototype to field-ready product
* Conduct advanced analysis (e.g. FEA, thermal/vibration testing) and drive certification processes
* Mentor junior team members and review technical work
Key Skills and Experience
Required – All Candidates
* Degree in Mechatronics, Mechanical, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, or related field
* Experience with CAD tools (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, etc.) for 3D design and mechanical assemblies
* Familiarity with system integration and prototyping using 3D printing, machining, or laser cutting
* Understanding of embedded systems and basic programming (C/C++, Python)
* Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work hands-on in a fast-paced environment
Additional – Senior Candidates
* 6+ years of experience in product design and development, ideally in robotics or automation
* Deep understanding of DFM/DFA and production-scale design practices
* Experience with ruggedization for outdoor/industrial environments (IP ratings, EMI, etc.)
* Strong track record of leading projects and cross-disciplinary engineering teams
* Direct experience with certification processes (e.g. CE, UL, IEC)
Desirable Skills (All Levels)
* Experience with embedded systems (STM32, Raspberry Pi, etc.)
* Understanding of sensors, actuators, and PCB layout
* Exposure to AI/ML in robotics (e.g. vision systems, OpenCV)
* Experience with simulation and analysis tools (MATLAB, Simulink, FEA)
* Proficient in developing and debugging on embedded Linux, preferably NVIDIA Jetson or similar edge AI hardware.
* Ability to optimise C++/Python code for GPU acceleration (CUDA/OpenCL) to achieve real-time sensor fusion, vision, or control-loop performance.
Why Join AssetCool?
* Work on groundbreaking technology revolutionizing the power grid.
* Fast-growing startup with significant industry traction and large-scale projects.
* Collaborative, innovation-driven team with exciting career growth opportunities.
