Job Description
Electro-mechanical EngineerLocation -Surbiton, South West London, and some travel may be required for site work.Circa £55k\n
About FutraheatWe are an early-stage, cleantech company formed to commercialise our novel, patented compressor technology. Our vision is to make a meaningful dent in global CO2 emissions by pioneering the electrification of industry with disruptive heat pump products.\n
\nOur core technology is a turbo-compressor simplified. It operates at greatly reduced speeds without oil, yielding lower manufacturing, operating and maintenance costs. We have developed a full-scale industrial heat pump pre-production product that was pilot tested at an industrial site throughout 2025. Recently Series A investment has been secured to scale the business and deliver further high temperature heat pump products to industrial end users.\n
About the PositionWe are looking for a full-time Electro-mechanical Engineer with a mix of electrical, mechanical and systems engineering experience to join our growing team. This is an excellent opportunity for a candidate who enjoys a varied role covering electrical and mechanical design, control integration and hands-on assembly work in product development with some field testing. Knowledge of motors and compressors is desirable, but above all a willingness to learn and contribute to a collaborative and innovative environment is key.\n
\nAs an early-stage company our roles are broad, will evolve as we progress from core technology to mature product, and will suit those who are flexible, creative and pro-active.\n
Some of the capabilities and duties required include:Electronic systems design from the component level including defining specifications, instrumentation and parts selection, engineering analysis, calculation and simulationCompetent CAD skills to produce mechanical/electrical designs and engineering drawingsAbility to produce and interpret P&IDs, schematics and circuit diagramsMechanical and electrical (inc. wiring) assembly, commissioning and testing of productsAbility to define control strategies and/or simulate control systems using MATLAB Simulink/Simscape or similar is desirableExperience with industrial PLCs and knowledge of the Internet of Things (IoT) is desirableCommissioning and testing of motors, compressors and heat pumpsTroubleshooting skills and mindset to process testing data looking for system improvementsEngineering documentation and report writingKnowledge of and/or qualification in relevant industrial electrical standards is desirableInstallation and testing of new products at industrial sites requiring periods of off-site working\n
\nSystems we use include SolidWorks, AutoCAD, ANSYS, MATLAB and LabVIEW.\n
QualificationsA Bachelor's degree (or higher) in Electrical, Mechanical or Systems engineering or a closely related discipline. Minimum of 3 years relevant experience. We will support technical, professional and personal development on the job and externally, as well as those engineers seeking/maintaining Chartership.\n
