You will characterise, optimise, scale, and validate the R&D team’s unique ophthalmic production processes, ensuring they are robust, repeatable, and scalable. As this is a completely new optical system, the role requires a high degree of creativity, along with a proactive, hands-on engineering approach to developing novel and often complex production processes.

You must have hands-on experience with Driver-in-the-Loop or real-time simulation systems (e.g. dSPACE, Speedgoat, Beckhoff), strong proficiency in simulation and data analysis tools such as MATLAB/Simulink and Python, and a deep understanding of vehicle dynamics, HIL systems, motion platforms, telemetry, and performance optimisation.

Are you an experienced R&D Engineer with a passion for automation, robotics, and intelligent systems? Looking for something genuinely different in R&D? This is a great opportunity to join a growing tech company developing next-generation automation and robotics systems. This isn’t a maintenance or support role – it’s hands-on R&D where you’ll design, prototype, and deliver new automation...

The company is seeking an experienced FPGA Design Engineer to join a fast-paced, multi-disciplinary environment focused on both standard products and bespoke secure digital design solutions. This role...

You will shape how our engineers build, test, release, and monitor software, ensuring frictionless workflows while keeping ownership of business logic, test quality, and development practices firmly with the product engineering teams.

You will play a key role in the design, synthesis, and characterisation of novel bio-based and biodegradable superabsorbent polymers, working closely with senior scientists and the CTO.

You will be expected to work on design projects involving concrete and steel mainly.

You will also be required to work on site investigation and evaluate design proposals.

You will be provided with support to meet the project commitments. You would be expected to start to work autonomously after completing few supervised tasks.

The Position: A&B Smart Materials is an Oxford University–based materials science venture founded by Oxbridge graduates. We are pioneering the next generation ofbio-based, biodegradable superabsorbent polymers (SAPs)to replacesynthetic SAPs. SAPs are "magic-like" materials that absorb hundreds of times their weight in water. They are used primarily inhygiene (diapers, pads,...
