KO2 Recruitment is working with a growing robotics business in Reading that develops autonomous robotic devices for multiple industry sectors.
Our client is looking for a Robotics Software Engineer to join their growing engineering team. You'll develop, integrate, and test software across autonomous robotic platforms — from embedded devices and central robot computers through to operator interfaces, sensors, actuators, and cloud-based services.
This role would suit either a strong graduate with substantial practical software or robotics experience, or an early-career engineer with who has already has some industry experience.
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.

As your knowledge builds, you'll steadily take on more ownership, from implementing features to fixing faults and testing changes on real, physical platforms.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop robotics software using modern C++ and Python
- Design and implement ROS nodes, drivers, and software interfaces
- Integrate cameras, sensors, actuators, and embedded devices
- Diagnose software, hardware, and network faults
- Write unit/integration tests and validate on physical platforms
- Participate in code reviews and communicate progress clearly
