Key skills for this role
We're looking for a hands-on Tech/Prototyping Engineer to build, assemble and maintain hardware prototypes for the end effectors on our robots and the human-worn devices operators use to interface with them. You'll run our prototyping shop, build and maintain test rigs, and support hardware testing and trial sessions — turning CAD files and BOMs into working units, fast. This is a high-paced environment where turnaround is tight and your work directly shapes what the design team builds next.

Build Prototype Hardware: Build, assemble and maintain prototype hardware from CAD/BOM through to working units.
Operate Workshop Equipment: Operate 3D printers, CNC and general workshop tools to produce prototype parts quickly and to spec.
Prototype with MCUs: Quickly wire up and prototype with MCU platforms such as ESP32 and Raspberry Pi to support test rigs and hardware validation.
Build & Run Test Rigs: Build, set up and run test rigs and validation jigs for durability, calibration and functional testing.
Support Hardware Testing: Support hardware testing, internal trials and demo sessions, providing hands-on troubleshooting and repair.
Turn Around Fast: Deliver prototype builds within tight timelines to keep pace with rapid design-iteration cycles.
Manage the Shop: Maintain an organised prototyping shop and parts inventory, including fasteners, connectors and components.
