There is an incredibly exciting opportunity to join a team of highly skilled engineers for my client based in East London.

My Client is looking for a hands-on Additive Manufacturing Engineer to join the R&D team and help push the limits of Large Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM).

You’ll be working directly with industrial robots in the lab — running large-scale 3D prints, integrating hardware, and experimenting with new manufacturing capabilities. This is a highly practical role for someone who loves working with real systems, not just simulations.

What You’ll Do

• Operate, calibrate, and maintain 6-axis industrial robots (KUKA experience a plus)
• Run experimental large-format 3D prints and analyse results
• Integrate end-effectors, sensors, wiring, and automation hardware
• Prototype mechanical and electronic systems using CAD and workshop tools
• Test and validate features using Aibuild’s software platform
• Keep the lab and workshop running safely and smoothly

What We’re Looking For

• Master’s degree (or equivalent experience) in Mechanical, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, or similar
• Strong hands-on experience with mechanical and electrical systems
• Understanding of additive manufacturing processes and materials
• Solid CAD skills (Fusion 360, Rhino, SolidWorks, or similar)
• Experience operating industrial robots
• Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced R&D environment

Nice to Have

• KUKA robots / KRL programming
• Python and AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code)
• Linux / NVIDIA Jetson experience
• Sensors, cameras, or vision systems
