Think semiconductor-fab levels of precision applied to the chaotic world of prototyping and low-volume production. The result? A 10x throughput improvement in one of the world’s most foundational industries.\nWe’ve raised $45M from top-tier investors including Y Combinator and Google Ventures-and we’re already profitable. Our customers include industry leaders like Tesla, Meta, and Zipline.\nThe Grid isn’t a prototype-it’s live, scaling fast, and already delivering real revenue. We’re now building the engineering core that will scale it further.\nWhat We’re Looking For\nWe’re hiring full-stack robotics/automation engineers to build and scale our automated factory in Cambridge UK. This is a hands-on, high impact role based full-time onsite at our central Cambridge facility. You’ll be a core part of the build out, development and support of a brand new fully automated factory. You’ll design, deploy and deliver both physical and software systems as well as continually carrying out post deployment optimisations to increase throughput.\nWe’re looking for individuals who have built full robotic systems, whether as a student, founder, employee or hobbyist. You’ll be expected to integrate software, hardware, and process into functional systems and debug failures under real-world production pressure.\nWe’re not looking for narrow specialists for this role, we are looking for engineers who can:\nCreate and adapt PLC code on the fly and under pressure (Beckhoff TwinCat ideally)\n\nDiagnose system wide failures from first principles\n\nPrototype mechanical and software fixes on the fly\n\nWork autonomously and communicate clearly to a remote team\n\nTake full responsibility for production system uptime and performance\n\nThis role is perfect for an individual who loves to see their own designs through from concept, to build through to deployment. You will be designing, prototyping, iterating and optimising systems constantly, working in a dynamic environment amongst highly motivated peers.\nBonus skills:\nProgramming and running CNC machinery\n\nDesign of chemical handling machinery\n\nExperience working with optics\n\n3D CAD experience, ideally Fusion 360\n\nWhat You’ll do\nEvery day is different, on a given day you could be doing anything from forklifting steel fabrications off a lorry and designing end effectors to commissioning linear motors and debugging TwinCAT code. Here are some examples things you might get involved with:\nConfigure and debug a distributed GigE vision system\n\nAnalyze end effector behavior from video recordings and revise the geometry and control approach to optimise throughput and reliability\n\nSpecify, test and deploy sensors for monitoring a chemical process\n\nCommission new robotic systems and debug their control cabinets\n\nWhat CircuitHub can offer\nSalary, £50,000 - £110,000 dependent on experience\nThink you can bring more than what’s described here? Great! The salary range is not a hard limit, if you are an expert on all of the above we still want to talk to you.\nNot quite so experienced, but passionate and want to learn? Also great! Talk to us, we might be able to find a place for you.\nLocation\nThis is an onsite role out of our site in central Cambridge working alongside a driven team of automation engineers who are designing, building and supporting the expansion of our Grid PCB assembly system.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3546,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Electronics Manufacturing","PCB Fabrication & Assembly"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-07-13T11:22:17Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"GB","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Licensed UK visa sponsor (Skilled Worker)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Skilled Worker","cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-16T06:21:30+00:00","sources":["UK Home Office: register of licensed sponsors (workers)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":9,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.268,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":94,"expected_fill_days":33,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":145383,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/circuithub-full-stack-roboticsautomation-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/circuithub-full-stack-roboticsautomation-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-16T18:22:27Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3392,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-17T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":17915},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=17915"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcircuithub-full-stack-roboticsautomation-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcircuithub-full-stack-roboticsautomation-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcircuithub-full-stack-roboticsautomation-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/circuithub-full-stack-roboticsautomation-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcircuithub-full-stack-roboticsautomation-engineer"}]}
