Robotics Software Engineer
Location: Outskirts of Stockport Salary: Up to £90,000 (DOE)
We’re partnering with an innovative engineering organisation developing next-generation autonomous robotic systems seeking a Robotics Software Engineer to join its growing team.
This is an exciting opportunity to work on cutting-edge robotics projects, developing software for autonomous platforms from prototype through to production. You will collaborate closely with software, hardware, mechanical, and AI engineers to deliver robust, real-world solutions.
About the Role
- Design, develop, and maintain robotics software using ROS2
- Implement sensor fusion algorithms using LiDAR, IMU, and other onboard sensors
- Develop path planning and path tracking algorithms
- Optimise and test robotics applications on NVIDIA Jetson boards
- Perform intrinsic and extrinsic calibration of sensors, cameras, IMUs, and other perception hardware
- Develop and maintain LiDAR processing pipelines, including filtering, segmentation, obstacle detection, and point cloud processing
- Implement forward and inverse kinematics for robotic platforms and manipulators
- Debug embedded communication interfaces, including: UART, Serial, I2C, SPI, CAN
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to bring robotic systems from prototype to production
- Test, debug, and validate robotics software in simulation and on real hardware
- Document system architecture, calibration procedures, test results, and deployment workflows
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.
