Mechatronics Engineer Level 2

About the role

As a Mechatronics Engineer at CDP, you will play a key role in developing innovative products that make a real-world impact. You will work across a wide range of sectors, with a strong focus on medical devices and robotics, contributing to the design and development of complex electromechanical systems from concept through to manufacture. You will be part of a multidisciplinary team, combining mechanical, electronics, and software engineering to deliver robust, scalable solutions for our clients. Job Duties and Responsibilities: Work as part of a multidisciplinary team developing products for external clients. Design and develop electronic hardware for a range of products and applications. Contribute across the full product development lifecycle, from concept generation and system architecture through detailed design, prototyping, verification and transfer to manufacture. Design and develop integrated electromechanical systems, including sensors, actuators, embedded control systems and mechanisms. Develop electronic hardware through schematic capture, circuit simulation, PCB design, bring-up, laboratory testing and debugging. Support system integration, debugging and verification of complex prototypes in laboratory environments. Collaborate closely with electronics, software and mechanical engineers to deliver cohesive system solutions. Manage prototype builds internally and with external suppliers. Project manage electronics workstreams within multidisciplinary projects. Communicate progress and technical concepts clearly through presentations, reports and client interactions. Participate in client meetings and contribute to technical discussions with stakeholders of varying seniority. Support project planning, risk identification, technical problem solving and proposal activities. Skills and Attributes Highly organized with strong attention to detail Strong technical capability across a mix of: Electromechanical system design Embedded systems and control Sensors and actuators Mechanism design and integration Experience with tools such as MATLAB / Simulink Experience working with precision sensors (pressure, flow, optical, etc.) Proven ability to design electronic systems from first principles rather than simply integrating off-the-shelf components. Strong understanding of analogue and digital electronics, power supplies, signal integrity and hardware debugging. Experience with system integration and debugging of complex hardware systems. Strong practical engineering skills, including wiring, soldering, prototype assembly and laboratory testing. Good understanding of industry-standard communication protocols (SPI, I²C, UART, CAN, USB and Ethernet). Methodical approach to troubleshooting and fault finding. Comfortable working in fast-paced, multidisciplinary project teams. Excellent communication and presentation skills. Ability to lead technical workstreams and deliver high-quality engineering solutions. Experience and Education Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Robotics or a related discipline. 2-6 years of relevant industry experience. Proven experience designing electronic hardware from concept through manufacture including knowledge of Circuit Theory. Experience with electrical schematic capture, PCB layout and board bring-up. Experience working across hardware, embedded systems and electromechanical product development. Experience designing and integrating custom electromechanical systems. Experience in medical devices, robotics or similarly complex regulated industries preferred. Experience of EMC and Electrical Safety standards (e.g. 60601 or 61010). Exposure to the full product development lifecycle, including prototyping, verification and manufacturing transfer. Comfortable working directly with clients and supporting technical discussions and project delivery. We're an employee‑owned innovation partner with a growing US team in Raleigh, NC, part of the Research Triangle. We bring ideas to life-from insight to engineering to pilot manufacture-across consumer and healthcare.
