Support prototyping, simulation, validation and optimisation of guidance and control systems
Integrate sensors, actuators and communication interfaces
Develop navigation, localisation and autonomy capabilities
Provide technical leadership and establish engineering best practices across robotics projects
Support knowledge sharing and technical development within the wider team

Requirements Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Robotics or a related discipline advantageous
Commercial experience developing software for robotic systems
Strong Python and C++ development skills
Experience with ROS2
Knowledge of control methodologies including PID and Model Predictive Control (MPC)
Strong software engineering and problem-solving capabilities
Experience delivering production-quality robotics solutions

Desirable Skills UAV or drone development experience
Fixed-wing or quadcopter systems
SLAM (Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping)
Navigation and autonomy systems
Sensor fusion and state estimation
Gazebo, Isaac Sim, MATLAB/Simulink or similar simulation platforms
Real-time systems development
Reinforcement learning
Pybind11

What We're Looking For Demonstrable experience delivering robotics projects
Strong software engineering principles and coding standards
Ability to take ownership of technical challenges
Someone passionate about robotics and autonomy, whether through commercial experience or personal projects

Why Join?
This is an opportunity to work on genuinely cutting-edge technology alongside a highly intelligent and curious team tackling complex real-world challenges. You'll play a key role in developing autonomous systems, navigation capabilities and control technologies that operate in demanding environments.

The team values integrity, intelligence and curiosity, creating an environment where innovation is encouraged and technical excellence is celebrated. If you enjoy solving difficult robotics and autonomy problems and seeing your work deployed into real-world systems, this could be an exceptional next step in your career. xwzovoh

Unfortunately, sponsorship is not available for this role. Whilst this is a remote-first position, occasional travel for team collaboration and company meetings will be required, therefore candidates should be based in the UK.
