🚀 Software Applications Engineer | C++ | Robotics & Control Systems
Interested in developing software that doesn't just run on a screen, but actually controls and interacts with complex robotic systems?
We're working with an established international engineering organisation that is expanding its software team responsible for a range of advanced underwater robotic platforms.
This is a hands-on software engineering role with modern C++ at its core, developing the software used to control, operate and monitor sophisticated robotic systems. You'll work close to the hardware, collaborating with engineers across software, electronics and systems to turn complex engineering requirements into reliable, real-world products.
📄 The Opportunity
- Permanent position
- Up to £65,000, depending on experience
- Hybrid working – typically 4 days onsite / 1 day remote
- Develop modern C++ software for advanced underwater robotic systems
- Work across software, hardware and system integration
- See your software deployed onto real-world engineering platforms
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.
💡 What You'll Be Doing
