As a Mechatronics Engineer at CDP, you will play a key role in developing innovative products that make a real-world impact. You will work across a wide range of sectors, with a strong focus on medical devices and robotics, contributing to the design and development of complex electromechanical systems from concept through to manufacture.
You will be part of a multidisciplinary team, combining mechanical, electronics, and software engineering to deliver robust, scalable solutions for our clients.
Job Duties and Responsibilities:
-
Work as part of a multidisciplinary team developing products for external clients.
-
Design and develop electronic hardware for a range of products and applications.
-
Contribute across the full product development lifecycle, from concept generation and system architecture through detailed design, prototyping, verification and transfer to manufacture.
-
Design and develop integrated electromechanical systems, including sensors, actuators, embedded control systems and mechanisms.
-
Develop electronic hardware through schematic capture, circuit simulation, PCB design, bring-up, laboratory testing and debugging.
-
Support system integration, debugging and verification of complex prototypes in laboratory environments.
-
Collaborate closely with electronics, software and mechanical engineers to deliver cohesive system solutions.
-
Manage prototype builds internally and with external suppliers.
-
Project manage electronics workstreams within multidisciplinary projects.
-
Communicate progress and technical concepts clearly through presentations, reports and client interactions.
-
Participate in client meetings and contribute to technical discussions with stakeholders of varying seniority.
-
Support project planning, risk identification, technical problem solving and proposal activities.

-
Methodical approach to troubleshooting and fault finding.
-
Comfortable working in fast-paced, multidisciplinary project teams.
-
Excellent communication and presentation skills.
-
Ability to lead technical workstreams and deliver high-quality engineering solutions.
Experience and Education
-
Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Robotics or a related discipline.
-
2-6 years of relevant industry experience.
-
Proven experience designing electronic hardware from concept through manufacture including knowledge of Circuit Theory.
-
Experience with electrical schematic capture, PCB layout and board bring-up.
-
Experience working across hardware, embedded systems and electromechanical product development.
-
Experience designing and integrating custom electromechanical systems.
-
Experience in medical devices, robotics or similarly complex regulated industries preferred.
-
Experience of EMC and Electrical Safety standards (e.g. 60601 or 61010).
-
Exposure to the full product development lifecycle, including prototyping, verification and manufacturing transfer.
-
Comfortable working directly with clients and supporting technical discussions and project delivery.
