Mechanical Systems & Project Engineer - #1717071

Engineer: Robotics/Mechatronics (Multiple Positions available, both Junior and Senior) Location : Salary : Competitive, Depending on Experience

Type : Full-time, Permanent

AssetCool is a rapidly growing startup in the Transmission and Distribution sector, pioneering cutting-edge robotic solutions for power line maintenance and upgrade. With commercial projects underway across the UK, Europe, and North America, we are scaling rapidly to meet global demand and accelerate the energy transition.

We are building a future where hundreds to thousands of robots operate worldwide, enabling smarter, more sustainable power systems by reducing losses, managing noise, and extending the lifespan of critical grid infrastructure. With multiple large-scale projects across the UK, Canada, and Europe, we are scaling rapidly to meet increasing market demand.

We are hiring Mechatronics Engineers at both Junior and Senior levels to join our growing team. You will work across the full product lifecycle: from early-stage R&D to final product deployment and field testing. The role involves a mix of mechanical design, system integration, and production coordination — all within the high-impact field of robotics for energy infrastructure.

This is a hands-on role suited to engineers passionate about building real-world, cutting-edge hardware. Please note that the role will involve significant travel and field-based work to support deployment and operational testing.
