Benedex is a robotics engineering company based in Bristol, building high-performance motion systems and modular robotic platforms used across defence, industrial automation, and advanced research.
We're a team of makers and builders -- we design it, prototype it, test it, and see it move. We don't just theorise; we build hardware that works, fast. If you like hands-on engineering and seeing ideas turn into real machines, you'll fit right in.
The Role
We're looking for an
Electronics Engineer
to join our product development team. You'll work on the electronics at the heart of our motion systems, from concept through to production.

Integration of servo motor control (BLDC, PMSM, direct drive, geared) with encoder feedback
System-level integration of motors, drives, sensors, and communication protocols (CAN, SPI, etc.)
Prototype build, test, and validation, including compliance (EMC, CE)
Collaborate with mechanical, embedded software, and robotics engineers
Productisation of designs for manufacturing
About You
MEng/BEng (or equivalent) in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or related field
Experience designing or optimising servo drives or electronic controllers for motion systems
Proficient in PCB design (preferably KiCAD)
Knowledge of CANopen (EtherCAT is a bonus), SPI, IC
Bonus: exposure to functional safety standards (STO, ISO 13849, IEC 61508)
You like solving real problems, and you care about making hardware that actually works
Clear technical communication, solid documentation, fluent English
