Senior Robotics Research Engineer

We are looking for a Senior Robotics Research Engineer to work with our Robotics Research and External Collaborations Team, based in Welwyn Garden City in the UK. The team has a track record of collaborating with some of the leading robotics research groups in both academia and industry including working on the EU funded research projects:

  • SoMa
  • SecondHands
  • Sestosenso
  • Intelliman
  • Softenable

We are currently in receipt of funding from the Advanced Research and Invention Agency's Robot Dexterity Program to develop a novel, biologically inspired, end-effector, and are about to embark on a further EU project using advanced sensing, modelling, and control strategies (including machine learning) to enhance the capabilities of soft manipulators in order to improve their scope of use.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
