About Us

We’re a London-based deep-tech company pioneering Direct Recycling for lithium-ion batteries, recovering the active materials that power them, locally. With our patented process, we’re developing the closed-loop battery supply chain infrastructure Europe needs.


Role Overview 

As a Mechanical Engineer, you will design, develop, test, and build the robotics and custom machinery behind our recycling process. The role suits someone who combines mechanical engineering expertise, creativity and a passion for sustainability.


Key Responsibilities


Design and Development:

  • Design mechanical components and systems for robotics and custom machinery used in lithium-ion battery recycling.
  • Develop detailed engineering drawings and specifications using CAD software.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure designs meet project requirements and industry standards.


Prototyping and Testing:

  • Build and test prototypes to validate design concepts and ensure functionality and performance.
  • Conduct simulations and analyse test data to refine designs and troubleshoot issues.
  • Implement design modifications based on test results and feedback.


Manufacturing and Assembly:

  • Oversee the manufacturing process, ensuring components and systems are produced to specification.
  • Assemble and integrate mechanical systems, robotics, and machinery.
  • Work closely with suppliers and manufacturers to source materials and components.


Project Management:

  • Manage project timelines, budgets, and resources effectively.
  • Coordinate with other engineering disciplines (electrical, software, etc.) to ensure seamless integration of systems.
  • Prepare technical documentation, including manuals, reports, and progress updates.


Innovation and Improvement:

  • Stay up to date with advancements in mechanical engineering, robotics, and recycling technologies.
  • Identify opportunities for innovation and continuous improvement in recycling processes.


What You Will Bring

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
  • Proven experience in mechanical design, preferably with a focus on robotics and custom machinery.

  • Understanding of materials science and manufacturing processes.
  • Experience with prototyping, testing, and validation of mechanical systems.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment and manage multiple projects simultaneously.
  • Passion for sustainability and a commitment to environmental stewardship.
  • Ability to work in a rapidly changing environment with a proactive and flexible approach.


Preferred Skills

  • Experience in the recycling industry or with lithium-ion battery technology.
  • Knowledge of automation and control systems.
  • Familiarity with programming and simulation software.
  • Familiarity in small-scaled prototyping techniques (e.g. Arduino).


Benefits

We offer flexible working options, a pension scheme, and opportunities for personal and professional development.

  • Competitive salary and benefits package (25 days holiday)
  • Opportunities for professional growth and development.
  • A collaborative and innovative work environment.
