R&D Engineer – Mechanical or Electrical Bias
Location: Cheshire
Contract: Permanent | Global engineering group | New product introduction
I am supporting a well‑established engineering manufacturer (part of a larger international technology group) as they expand their R&D team.
They are hiring two R&D Engineers – one mechanically biased and one electrically biased – to support a major technology transfer programme from mainland Europe into the UK, alongside ongoing product development.
This role sits between design and manufacturing, focused on turning engineering concepts into reliable, production‑ready machinery.
What you'll be involved in
* Supporting new product introduction & technology transfer
* Developing and improving machinery for manufacture
* Testing, validation and problem solving
* Working closely with design, production and engineering teams
What they're looking for
* Engineering degree or equivalent experience
* Background in machinery, automation or equipment development
* A strong practical / process engineering mindset
* Comfortable solving real‑world engineering problems (not purely desk‑based)
Mechanical bias: mechanisms, materials handling, assemblies, reliability
Electrical bias: controls hardware, sensors, drives, integration
Why consider it
* Genuine development engineering (not maintenance/support)
* Investment‑backed growth and new technology coming into the UK
* Opportunity to influence future product platforms
* Stable business within a global group
If you enjoy making machines work in the real world — not just on drawings — this is a good one to explore.
