Junior Project Engineer

Description:

You’ll be building, testing, installing, and commissioning real robotic systems that are operating at London Heathrow Airport, Amazon Fulfilment Centres, Costa Coffee, Caffè Nero, and the University of Cambridge Science Park. You’ll work directly with experienced engineers and founders to deliver technology that’s transforming commercial food waste management.

If you enjoy solving real-world engineering problems and want to see your work deployed in the field, we’d love to hear from you.

What you’ll actually be doing

• Building and assembling Vuala robotic systems at our London manufacturing facility
• Assisting with the installation and commissioning of robotic systems at customer sites
• Conducting electrical and mechanical testing, diagnostics, and troubleshooting
• Supporting project planning, technical documentation, and engineering drawings
• Carrying out site surveys and preparing installation plans
• Coordinating with suppliers, contractors, and customers during project delivery
• Supporting servicing, maintenance, and system upgrades
• Helping improve product performance through testing and engineering feedback

One day you’ll be assembling a robot in our manufacturing facility.

The next you’ll be installing a system at Heathrow Airport.

The day after you’ll be commissioning equipment at a customer site or troubleshooting a technical issue.

No two weeks are the same.

• Degree or equivalent qualification in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, industrial design or a related discipline

• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• Comfortable working with mechanical and electrical systems
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills
