Robotics Software Engineer - Calibration Tooling (Contract)
📍 Location: London or Germany (Hybrid - 1 day onsite)
💰 Rate: Flexible
🕒 Contract: 6 Months
The Company
My client is one of Europe's fastest-growing AI companies, developing next-generation autonomous driving technology. Backed by over $1bn in funding, they're building advanced AI systems that enable vehicles to understand and navigate complex real-world environments. As they continue to scale, they're investing in the tooling and infrastructure that supports their robotics and calibration teams.
The Opportunity
This is a hands-on contract role focused on building the software tooling that supports robotics and calibration engineers. Rather than developing core algorithms, you'll build diagnostics, visualisation, reporting and workflow tooling that helps engineers understand, investigate and resolve calibration issues more efficiently. Working closely with robotics and calibration teams, you'll combine strong Python engineering with robotics domain knowledge to improve the tools behind a cutting-edge autonomous vehicle platform.
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.
