  3. Robotic Head Operation – oversee the efficient, reliable operation of the head to drive production.

The role will continually drive innovation in our core engineering disciplines and as the company evolves, it will expand to include other facets of engineering (i.e. vision systems for inspection, pick-and-place systems), with the aim of developing the world’s first light-out factories for composite materials.

Responsibilities
  • Leadership and Team Management: Develop, structure, manage and inspire the teams that comprise the entire Engineering function. Foster a high-performance culture across the engineering function.
  • Project Management: Supervise and coordinate complex engineering projects, ensuring they progress from initiation to successful completion while adhering to schedules, budgets, and quality benchmarks.
  • Engineering Strategy and Execution: Develop and implement an engineering strategy in alignment with overarching business objectives, focusing on efficiency, quality, and cost-effectiveness.
  • Product Development: Ensure iCOMAT retains its technical advantage through continual improvement of processes and technology.
Requirements

  • Strong technical expertise in engineering principles, design, and execution.
  • Demonstrated success in managing intricate engineering projects within budget and time constraints.
  • Exceptional leadership, communication, and interpersonal abilities.
  • A current awareness of emerging engineering trends, technologies, and practices.

We’ve completed multiple technology validation programmes (with the European Space Agency, Airbus, Jaguar Land Rover, BAE Systems, F1 Teams) and are in the process of executing on the first production opportunities with leading OEMs. We’re edging towards becoming a significant scale-up with growth plans that will see the business multiply in size over the next 2-3 years and expand operations into Europe and the US Interested in learning more?
