Senior Robotics Engineer
Want to build and scale autonomy software powering a rapidly growing fleet of real-world robots?
A high-growth UK robotics company is scaling fast. They’re operating hundreds of robots in live customer environments and building the autonomy stack that will support thousands more.
We’re hiring a Senior Robotics Engineer to help scale the core robotics platform behind their fast-growing Robot-as-a-Service model.
The challenge here is scale. How do you build a robust autonomy core that can be deployed globally, updated continuously, and operate reliably in dynamic warehouse environments?
This isn’t a research project. This is production robotics, deployed every two weeks into real customer sites, with zero manual customisation.
What you’ll be doing:
- Developing and maintaining autonomy software for deployed robotic systems
- Working with ROS2, modern C++ and Python
- Integrating perception, planning, and control modules
- Supporting complex real-world deployments alongside field teams
- Contributing to a robotics stack that must scale reliably across a global fleet
What they’re looking for:
- Proven industry experience or a strong academic robotics background
- Evidence of real work – deployed systems, open-source contributions, competitions etc.
- Strong experience with ROS 2, C++, and Python
- Solid Linux fundamentals, Git, CI/CD, and containerization
- Strong communication skills and team mindset
It’s a bonus if you have:
• LiDAR sensor integration expertise, LiDAR-based SLAM, or perception pipeline experience
• Experience designing robotics software at scale
• Contributions to open-source robotics
They move fast. Standards are high. Ownership is real.
On-site x3 days per week in Oxfordshire.
If you want to work on production autonomy systems operating in the real world – not just in simulation – this is worth a conversation.
