Join Us in Shaping the Future of Farming

At
Peacock Technology Ltd.
, we develop intelligent robotics and AI-powered vision systems that are transforming modern dairy farming. Our mission is simple but powerful:
to improve animal welfare and farm efficiency
through innovative automation.

From robotic udder hygiene systems to pioneering vision platforms, our technologies are already making a measurable difference on farms across the UK and beyond. As demand for our systems grows, so does our team—and we're looking for talented individuals who are excited to make a real-world impact.

The Role: CAD Engineer
We're seeking a
practical, detail-driven mechanical designer
to help lead the evolution of our next-generation robotic systems. You'll focus on designing the mechanical aspects of our products—ranging from end-effectors and actuator housings to control cabinet layouts—working closely with the Operations Manager, Technical Services, and field teams.

This is not a desk-only design role. You'll follow your designs from concept through prototyping, into production and real-world deployment—spending time on customer farms to see how our solutions perform under field conditions.

You'll contribute directly to the success of products like our
IDS Pre-Brush and Post-Spray robots
, helping to improve udder hygiene, milk quality, and animal wellbeing.
