Jobs

The Client

• Own the design, build and control system of a cutting-edge, world-changing technology with a major sustainability impact.
• Be part of a well-funded Scottish tech start-up that is growing globally, in European and American markets.
• The chance to grow with the business: as it scales, so will your career.

A business that helps farmers save serious money and time on crops that are notoriously hard to harvest, using AI-guided machinery, while turning the part of the crop that is normally thrown away into an ingredient that makes everyday ready meals healthier. It works for growers on one side and for food manufacturers on the other, and both get a result they could not get before.

For growers, the machine takes on work that would normally need a whole crew of seasonal pickers, making its own cutting decisions in a fraction of a second. For food manufacturers, the ingredient made from what is left behind gives familiar products such as ready meals, burgers and sausages a healthier profile, and helps move them towards a better front-of-pack rating. Major UK food manufacturers and supermarkets are already working with the business.

The technology has been through years of development and has come through its commissioning trials this season. The business is backed by significant investment, is setting up its own production operation locally in Dundee, and has the funding and the ambition to take the product to market globally. It is a rare thing to find a technology that is proven in the field and still early enough that the people building it shape where it goes next.

The Candidate

You are an electronics or controls engineer who likes being close to the thing you have built. You will have designed and developed electronic and control systems for machinery or equipment, and you are comfortable across sensors, cameras and vision, embedded systems, motor and drive control, wiring and power. You may currently be an Electronics Engineer, Controls Engineer, Embedded Systems Engineer or Automation Engineer, perhaps in robotics, off-highway, automotive, agricultural or industrial automation.

You are equally happy at a laptop and in a field with a multimeter, and you want to see your designs working in the real world. You prefer ownership to hand-offs, you enjoy solving problems where the answer is not written down yet, and you want to be part of a business that is going somewhere fast.
