Salary: £50,000 - £70,000 (Profit Share & Share Options)

Job Type: Full-Time, Permanent

We're hiring a Senior Robotics Software Engineer to join a growing engineering team developing advanced autonomous robotic systems. This is not simulation-only development. As a Senior Robotics Software Engineer, you'll build production-grade software that directly controls physical robotic platforms operating in demanding environments. If you enjoy solving complex robotics challenges using modern C++, ROS2 and real-world control systems, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Developing modern C++ software for autonomous robotic systems
  • Building and maintaining ROS2-based robotic applications
  • Working on motion planning, trajectory generation and robot control
  • Integrating perception, sensor and vision systems
  • Collaborating with software, electronics and mechanical engineering teams

What We're Looking For

  • Strong modern C++ experience
  • Commercial ROS2 experience
  • Robotics, automation or autonomous systems background
  • Linux development experience
  • Strong debugging and problem-solving skills

Nice To Have

  • ROS2 Control
  • Docker
  • Embedded Linux
  • Distributed systems
  • Computer vision or perception systems

Benefits

  • Hybrid working
  • Profit share / share options
  • Flexible working hours
  • Long-term career progression
  • Cutting-edge robotics projects
  • Collaborative engineering environment

Apply

If you're a Senior Robotics Software Engineer looking to work on genuine robotics challenges rather than purely theoretical projects, we'd love to hear from you.
