Proactive are currently in search of multiple skilled Robotics / Mechtronics Technicians to start work for an up and coming robotics manufacturing company in East London

As a Robotics Prototype Technician (Assembly / Mechatronics) you'll be responsible for assembling, reworking, and troubleshooting robotic systems-ranging from subassemblies to full integrated prototypes. You'll work directly with hardware engineering, systems integration, test, and advanced manufacturing to ensure our builds are executed accurately and efficiently, supporting a fast-paced R&D environment where every day counts.

Key Responsibilities

  • Hands-On Assembly & Integration
  • Build electro-mechanical and mechatronic assemblies according to CAD, drawings, and work instructions.
  • Perform precise mechanical assembly, harness routing, sensor installation, and connectorization.
  • Support first-article builds, iterations, and rapid design changes.
  • Flag issues early and collaborate with engineering to implement fixes.

Support Validation, Debug & Test

  • Assist in functional testing of subassemblies and full robots.
  • Identify and resolve build or performance issues in real time.
  • Work closely with test and integration teams to ensure system readiness.
  • Maintain Build Quality & Traceability
  • Follow prototype production processes, including documentation and version control.
  • Record issues, improvements, and build feedback to drive continuous improvement.
  • Maintain cleanliness and organization of lab and build environments.

Be a High-Speed Collaborator

  • Communicate clearly with engineers, fellow technicians, and operations.
  • Adapt quickly to changing priorities-jump in wherever help is needed.
  • Contribute ideas to improve speed, reliability, and quality of builds.

What We're Looking For

  • 3+ years of experience in prototype assembly, technician work, or low-rate production of complex systems.
  • Proven ability to work with mechanical, electrical, and embedded systems-ideally in robotics, aerospace, or automotive.
  • Strong attention to detail and a deep sense of build quality and safety.
  • Ability to read CAD, mechanical drawings, and wiring diagrams.
  • Hands-on experience with common tools, fixtures, soldering, torquing, etc.
  • You move fast, stay organized, and take pride in solving problems in real time.
  • Comfortable working in a fluid, high-urgency environment with evolving designs and short timelines.
