Senior Robotics Engineer
Location: Bristol (On-Site)
Job Type: Full-Time, Permanent
Salary: Dependent on Experience (DOE)
The Opportunity
We're working with an innovative robotics company developing advanced autonomous systems for real-world industrial applications. As the business continues to scale, they are looking to appoint a Senior Robotics Engineer to help build and deploy the next generation of robotic capabilities.
This is a hands-on role focused on real robots operating in real environments. You'll work alongside a highly experienced multidisciplinary team, helping develop robust, production-ready systems that combine perception, planning, control, manipulation, and autonomous behaviours.
The Role
As a Senior Robotics Engineer, you'll take ownership of challenging robotics problems and help transform prototypes into reliable capabilities deployed on physical robotic platforms.
