About the Role
Due to continued growth and expansion, MSL are seeking an experienced Junior Mechatronics Engineer, you will working closely with both the mechanical and electrical engineering design teams to capture and integrate the interfaces between the two disciplines. Activities will include the design and threading of cable looms from the small scale (i.e.: 19" equipment racks) to large complex structures (i.e.: magnetically-shielded rooms).
You will be involved in the critical design review of complex structures to ensure mutual electro-magnetical compatibility, compiling CAD models & design documentation of electrical assemblies to be included in the product assembly model, the design & construction of test jigs, small prototypes to test out concepts for new products & product upgrades.
The role will be based in the Research & Development team, reporting directly to the R&D Manager, but will involve a significant amount of liaising with the mechanical design team.
