We are seeking an experienced and professional Electrical and Electronic Engineer to join the CUE Robotics Team at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. This is an exciting opportunity to become part of a dynamic, fast-paced environment, working alongside experts in robotics and automation. The role offers exceptional access to world-class laboratory facilities and cutting-edge technologies, placing you at the forefront of innovative research and development.



This position will play a key role in a small team developing novel automated inspection systems for the UK's next-generation submarine fleet, with a particular focus on the inspection of structural components, tanks, and pipework. We are looking for a candidate with substantial professional engineering experience (including working to standards) to complement the research strengths of the existing team. You will act as the electrical engineering lead, helping to shape project direction and ensure successful delivery.



To be considered for this role, you will hold a Master's degree in engineering or equivalent qualification, and possess significant professional experience. You should have a proven track record of delivering complex engineering projects, with hands-on expertise in systems engineering, design and fabrication, system integration, project management, and technical documentation. The role involves regular travel to partner sites for meetings and demonstrations, so applicants must be willing and able to travel. A valid UK driving licence and access to a vehicle would be advantageous.



This is a full-time, fixed-term post for an initial period of three years, with the potential for extension subject to future funding. The role is based at the University's city centre campus in Glasgow.



Informal enquiries about the post can be directed to Professor Gordon Dobie, (gordon.dobie@strath.ac.uk).
