Robotics Software Engineer

We’re working with a growing robotics company who are redefining what’s possible in autonomous tech for real-world environments! This is a hands-on role in a genuinely exciting space. You’ll be working at the heart of a new autonomous robotics platform being developed. Your focus will be on the design and development of the software that controls and coordinates key robotic features – a key piece of their platform – while collaborating closely with the wider engineering and testing teams across Europe. This is a great opportunity to get in early with a company that’s scaling fast, while building tech that has a meaningful impact. You’ll be encouraged to take ownership, contribute ideas, and shape how the product evolves. What you’ll be doing: Designing, developing and testing software for real-world robotics applications Debugging, simulating and verifying code before deployment Working with robotics, mechanical and electronic engineers to ensure smooth integration Testing in the field (literally) – on farms and in polytunnels in the UK and Portugal Writing clean, well-documented code across the full development lifecycle Supporting the transition of systems from prototype through to production What we’re looking for: A degree (or master’s) in software engineering, computer science, or equivalent 3 years’ commercial experience in software development Strong C++ (11 onwards – 20 ideal) ROS/ROS2 experience and confident with Linux Hands-on experience with hardware integration and real-time systems Familiar with tools like Docker, Gazebo, Isaac Sim, and CI/CD workflows Bonus points for Python, TypeScript, Golang, or experience with embedded platforms like Jetson/Xavier Collaborative mindset and happy working across teams – but also comfortable with autonomy and taking initiative You’ll be joining a small but highly skilled team, working on a product that blends cutting-edge innovation with practical, real-world application. If you’re passionate about robotics, enjoy solving complex problems, and want to play a key part in building something meaningful – we’d love to hear from you.
