Mechanical Engineer

Bristol/Hybrid

£37k - £42k


We are seeking a mechanical engineer to join us in a pivotal role at the forefront of a ground-breaking start-up within the robotics and automation industry. This isn't just any opportunity – it's a chance to be an integral part of a forward-looking team, driving innovation and shaping the future.


About Us

Bot-Hive is an early stage start-up in the robotics and automation sector. We focus on building a new era in industrial automation; we call it the era of Flexible Automation. Our library of pre-configured automation devices enables contract manufacturers and logistics teams to flexibly change their automation systems in line with changing demand.


About the role

In this role, you'll dive headfirst into leading the development of core Bot-Hive infrastructure and library products. Your main task will be to elevate our alpha-ready flexible system to a production-ready product. This will involve overseeing every aspect of the design process, from detailed design and development through to hands-on implementation and deployment.


Essential Skills

Demonstrated technical expertise underpinned by practical hands-on experience is a fundamental requirement for this role. We are seeking candidates who hold a degree and possess 1-2 years of industrial experience, bolstered by a track record of successfully executing practical projects. Alternatively, qualified apprentices with a proven aptitude for design are encouraged to apply.


Specific skills include:

  • Mechanical Design Skills: Strong understanding of mechanical principles and manufacturing processes to design efficient and functional parts & systems.
  • CAD skills: Create and modify detailed 2D and 3D CAD models for machine components and assemblies. Experience with software like SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or similar programs.
  • DFMA Proficiency: Designing parts for cost-effective manufacturing processes and ease of assembly.
  • Assembly and Prototyping: Proficiency in assembling and prototyping mechanical systems and machines.
  • Mechanical Troubleshooting and Problem-Solving: Ability to identify and resolve mechanical issues that arise during assembly or operation. Strong problem-solving skills are essential in this role.
  • Project Management Skills: Ability to manage project timelines, prioritize tasks, and multitask effectively to meet deadlines and deliver quality results.


Nice-to-have:

  • Manufacturing experience: Qualifications/experience in machining and/or rapid prototyping.
  • Programming experience: PLC, Arduino, etc.
  • Knowledge of machine safety: ISO 13849-1.
  • Robotics simulation: robotic path planning or experience with inverse kinematic solvers.
  • Process simulation: e.g. discreet event simulation.
  • Data scripting: General python, matlab or any other suitable language skills.


Personal Attributes

Here at Bot-Hive, we’re hot on company culture, authenticity and emotional intelligence so it’s essential that we’re aligned across the below values:

  • Entrepreneurial with a can-do attitude
  • Flexible - we’re still a startup so very little is laid out in front of you. Instead you’re required to work well in a greenfield workload environment
  • Curious and be a creative problem solver
  • Very strong communication skills - that means good at listening and talking
  • Open minded with a thirst for learning
  • Think BIG with a growth mindset
  • Be inquisitive & challenging while still being a team player
  • No or low ego. Be cool with being wrong
  • EQ as well as IQ
  • Be a kind, humble and empathic person to spend time with
  • Have an interest in travel, culture & societal change


The Package

Salary - £38k-£42k. We offer hybrid working (office is in Bristol) aligned with the nature of the work. For candidates who show a high level of commitment, individuality and team togetherness, promotions and ongoing career development are available in line with company growth. Additional benefits will come with growth.


The Process

  • Introductory call - Initial call shortly after submission of application
  • 1st interview - technical interview, to understand your experience and past technical project work
  • 2nd interview - technical task, a short presentation (15-30mins) on a technical task relevant to the job
  • 3rd interview - final interview, to meet the co-founders and full Bot-Hive team


Join us in a pivotal role at the forefront of a ground-breaking start-up within the robotics and automation industry and be part of a team where your ideas matter, your work is valued, and your impact is felt from day one.
