Join Us in Shaping the Future of Farming

At Peacock Technology Ltd., we develop intelligent robotics and AI-powered vision systems that are transforming modern dairy farming. Our mission is simple but powerful: to improve animal welfare and farm efficiency through innovative automation.

From robotic udder hygiene systems to pioneering vision platforms, our technologies are already making a measurable difference on farms across the UK and beyond. As demand for our systems grows, so does our team—and we’re looking for talented individuals who are excited to make a real-world impact.

The Role: CAD Engineer

We’re seeking a practical, detail-driven mechanical designer to help lead the evolution of our next-generation robotic systems. You'll focus on designing the mechanical aspects of our products—ranging from end-effectors and actuator housings to control cabinet layouts—working closely with the Operations Manager, Technical Services, and field teams.

This is not a desk-only design role. You'll follow your designs from concept through prototyping, into production and real-world deployment—spending time on customer farms to see how our solutions perform under field conditions.

You’ll contribute directly to the success of products like our IDS Pre-Brush and Post-Spray robots, helping to improve udder hygiene, milk quality, and animal wellbeing.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Drive the mechanical design of robotic and automation systems

• Create detailed CAD models and technical drawings for manufacturing

• Work on everything from end-of-arm tooling to enclosures and brackets

• Develop, test, and iterate on components for production release

• Interpret feedback from customers and field engineers to refine designs

• Liaise with suppliers to ensure manufacturability and cost-efficiency

• Support field commissioning, testing, and upgrades (UK and international)

• Produce clear and concise documentation for internal and customer use

What We’re Looking For

We value capability, curiosity, and a passion for engineering. If you love turning ideas into physical systems—and enjoy being close to the action—you’ll thrive here.

Essential:

• Degree or equivalent qualification in Mechanical Engineering, Product Design, or a related discipline

• 3+ years’ experience in mechanical design or a similar field

• Strong knowledge of mechanical principles and engineering practices

• Proficiency in CAD software (e.g. SolidWorks, Inventor, or similar)

• Comfortable working hands-on with machinery, tools, and prototypes

• Willingness to travel for on-site work and testing

• Full UK driving licence and valid passport

Desirable:

• Experience using SolidWorks in a production environment

• Experience working with robotic or automated systems

• Understanding of pneumatic systems

• Background in product validation, field testing, or commissioning
