Job Description

Are you an experienced R&D Engineer with a passion for automation, robotics, and intelligent systems?

Looking for something genuinely different in R&D?

 

This is a great opportunity to join a growing tech company developing next-generation automation and robotics systems.

 

This isn’t a maintenance or support role – it’s hands-on R&D where you’ll design, prototype, and deliver new automation features from concept to completion.

 

What you'll be doing:

 

  • Develop and test machine vision algorithms (Python, TensorFlow, OpenCV)
  • Collaborate with software and hardware engineers to integrate your features
  • Work on high-impact projects that accelerate discovery
  • Mentor engineers and help shape the growing R&D function

 

What's in it for you:

 

  • Real ownership – You’ll lead your own projects from concept to delivery, with the freedom to experiment, test, and make an impact.
  • Cutting-edge tech – Work on automation, robotics, and machine vision that directly advances real-world scientific research.
  • Collaborative team – Join a tight-knit group of engineers and scientists who love solving complex problems together.
  • Growth & progression – Be part of a growing company where your input helps shape future R&D direction.

 

You’ll need a strong background in engineering, computer science, or physics, experience in computer vision or robotics, and the confidence to take ownership of your own projects in a fast-paced environment.

 

If you’re ready to lead real innovation in a company where ideas turn into products quickly – let’s have a chat.

 

We’re committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and respected.

 

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives - what matters most is your ability, curiosity, and passion for innovation.
