Position: Research & Development Engineer

Reporting to: Head of Concept Development

Location: Labman HQ, Stokesley, North Yorkshire

Salary: £40,000 - £55,000 BASED ON EXPERIENCE

Employment Type: Full-time


Are you the kind of engineer who spends weekends building robotic arms, hacking together Arduino projects, or building and launching potato cannons just for fun? Do you dream in CAD and get excited by the smell of solder? If so, we want you on our team!

Labman is on the hunt for a creative, hands-on R&D Engineer with a passion for automation, robotics, and solving real-world problems in wild and wonderful ways. We're not your average engineering company. We build cool stuff, break boundaries and have a blast doing it. If you're a curious creator who loves to tinker, invent, and collaborate — this is your playground.

What You'll Do:

  • Designing & creating novel electromechanical devices from scratch
  • Rapid prototyping and testing your ideas
  • Collaborating with a team of engineers who live and breathe innovation
  • Exploring emerging tech like AI, machine vision, and generative design
  • Turning concepts into working prototypes that push boundaries
  • Developing the next generation of cutting edge products to add to our growing portfolio

What You'll Need:

  • Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or similar
  • 3+ years in R&D, automation, robotics, or product development
  • Solid foundation in mechanical, mechatronics, robotics, or automation engineering
  • CAD wizardry (SolidWorks, Inventor, or similar)
  • Hands-on experience with prototyping, 3D printing, electronics, and workshop tools
  • Understanding of a wide range of manufacturing processes and design suitability for each
  • Knowledge of robotics systems, motion control, PLCs, and embedded systems
  • Excellent communication and cross-disciplinary collaboration skills

Desirable Skills:

  • A portfolio of personal projects that show off your engineering creativity
  • Familiarity with machine vision, AI/ML, or automation platforms
  • Experience in lab automation, medical devices, or industrial robotics
  • Exposure to compliance frameworks (ISO 9001, Machinery regs)

Company Benefits:

  • 33 day's annual holiday (rising to 38 with service, incl. public holidays)
  • Private Healthcare with Aviva
  • 5% employer pension contribution paid on full salary
  • Enhanced maternity and paternity leave (long service applicable)
  • CPD support with annual professional body subscription covered
  • Free on-site gym, squash courts, bouldering wall, and a wide range of staff clubs

Labman Values:


IN IT TOGETHER - Shared effort, shared success

EXCELLENCE - Delivering the highest quality in everything we do

HUMILITY - Grounded, respectful, and always learning

SUSTAINABILITY - Building a business that lasts

FUN - Friendly, enthusiastic, and a bit different
