Mechatronics Engineer Level 2

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.

Requirements

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.

Benefits

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.
