Founding Embedded Software & Robotics Engineer
đź“Ť Alderbury, Wiltshire (Onsite)
ÂŁ 90,000 + Salary
We’re building next-generation autonomous aerial systems and are looking for a Founding Embedded Software & Robotics Engineer to help shape the core intelligence behind our platform. This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives at the intersection of embedded software, robotics, and real-world hardware integration. You’ll work on the systems that enable autonomous sensing, communication, control, and onboard decision-making across a highly integrated VTOL platform. You’ll be joining at an early stage with the opportunity to influence technical direction, architecture, and engineering culture from day one.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Designing and developing robust embedded software for autonomous robotic systems
- Integrating and debugging sensors, microcontrollers, companion computers, and onboard communications hardware
- Working directly with Linux-based embedded devices using SSH and low-level debugging tools
- Supporting system bring-up, testing, validation, and field integration
- Developing reliable interfaces across protocols such as CAN, I2C, UART, and SPI
- Collaborating closely with a small, fast-moving engineering team to rapidly iterate and solve complex technical challenges
- Contributing across the full development lifecycle — from prototype to deployed hardware
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
