Senior Mechatronics Engineer Location : Salary : Competitive, Depending on Experience
Type : Full-time, Permanent
AssetCool is a rapidly growing start-up in the Transmission and Distribution sector, pioneering cutting-edge robotic solutions for power line maintenance and upgrade. With commercial projects underway across the UK, Europe, and North America, we are scaling rapidly to meet global demand and accelerate the energy transition.
We are building a future where hundreds to thousands of robots operate worldwide, enabling smarter, more sustainable power systems by reducing losses, managing noise, and extending the lifespan of critical grid infrastructure. With multiple large-scale projects across the UK, Canada, and Europe, we are scaling rapidly to meet increasing market demand.
We are hiring a Senior Mechatronics Engineer 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. You will lead design efforts and mentor others, while working cross collaboratively with other engineering divisions.
***Please note that the role will involve significant travel and field-based work to support deployment and operational testing.
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
Collaborate with cross-functional teams including electronics and software engineers
Engage in field testing and troubleshooting in real-world environments
Work with manufacturing partners to support production and assembly readiness
Own technical direction from prototype to field-ready product
Conduct advanced analysis (e.g. FEA, thermal/vibration testing) and drive certification processes
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)
~ Experience with ruggedization for outdoor/industrial environments (IP ratings, EMI, etc.)
~ Strong track record of leading projects and cross-disciplinary engineering teams
~ 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.
Shape the development and scale-up of game-changing robotic technologies.
