Robotics Software Engineer
We’re looking for a talented Robotics Software Engineer to join an innovative engineering team developing software for next-generation robotic vehicles.
You’ll work across robotics, control systems, and software development, developing and testing control and guidance systems, integrating sensors and actuators, and supporting the development and validation of robotic platforms.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and test control loops for ground and airborne vehicles using C++ and Python.
- Integrate sensors and actuators using a range of communication protocols.
- Support prototyping, simulation, and validation of control and guidance systems.
- Develop robust, high-quality software for real-world robotic applications.
- Work closely with engineers across software, controls, and robotics to deliver projects to agreed timescales.
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
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
About You
- Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline.
- Professional software engineering experience, ideally working with robotic systems.
- Strong programming skills in C++ and Python.
- Experience with ArduPilot, MAVSDK, and/or PX4.
- Experience with Model Predictive Control (MPC) or similar control techniques.
- A strong track record of delivering high-quality robotics software within deadlines.
Desirable Experience
- Experience in any of the following would be highly beneficial:
- Path planning, motion control, or reinforcement learning-based control.
- Simulation tools such as Gazebo, Isaac Sim, or MATLAB/Simulink.
- Robotics frameworks and interfaces including ROS/ROS2, Serial, UART, and I2C.
- Sensor integration and fusion, including Kalman filters.
- Real-time embedded systems.
- Pybind11.
