Overview
This role is for you if you live and breathe electronics and control, and love tackling the messy challenges that come from building safe and useful systems for the real world. No two days will be the same, but you can expect to:
* Solve electronics and control problems end-to-end: designing, prototyping, building, integrating, and testing new robotic components.
* Jump into unfamiliar domains and upskill at speed – one day integrating new motors or 3D LiDAR, the next, supporting software engineers with increasing system reliability.
* Work closely with Paddington’s other engineers, product, and customer teams to iterate and improve solutions.
* Deliver real‑world impact, today, using cutting‑edge robotics.
About Paddington Robotics
At P9R7, we’re building robots that can handle the messy, unpredictable, and chaotic real world. We are undertaking customer trials and need your help to deliver on this challenge.
* Build AI models and hardware that let robots work safely alongside humans – lifting, moving, and getting stuff done better and faster.
* Spend time on customer sites to better understand and solve for the messy chaos of most environments.
* Think 10+ years ahead, reimagining manual labour and creating robots that become complementary assistants for labour‑intensive and physically demanding tasks.
About You
* You go all‑in on safety systems: designing, validating, and obsessing over making hardware and control systems fail‑safe, robust, and rock‑solid.
* You’ve built or owned safety‑critical electronics or control systems before: you’ll likely have spent 3+ years in robotics, automotive, aerospace, or industrial automation.
* You’re fluent in electronic control systems: from sensors and actuators to fault detection, redundancy, and safe shutdown architectures.
* You’re hands‑on with hardware: debugging circuits, designing PCBs, running tests, and making sure everything just works (safely).
* You thrive in multi‑disciplinary environments: collaborating with mechanical, software, and AI engineers to make complex systems work effectively.
* You are comfortable with control algorithms from PID to MPC, complex filters, and the linear algebra needed to develop them.
Above all, we’re building a team of creative, outside‑the‑box thinkers. To thrive here, you are:
* Highly ambitious: comfortable taking a project from concept to completion – you do whatever it takes to deliver.
* Self‑directed and proactive: you thrive in a dynamic, unpredictable, multi‑disciplinary environment.
* Enthusiastic team player: you ask questions, help others, and communicate effectively.
What Will Impress Us
We love proactive doers. Show us what you’ve built – whether it’s projects or experiments. Tell us why our mission excites you. Be bold, be creative, and don’t feel embarrassed to stand out from the crowd.
Location
Our London office is right by Portobello Road. We work full‑time, and largely on‑site (4 days a week). Expect vibrant startup energy with a team that knows when to laugh, and when to buckle down.
