As a senior member of the team, you’ll also have opportunities to share your expertise, support the development of others and help shape good engineering practice across our robotics capabilities.\nYour role\nAs a Senior Robotics Engineer, you’ll bring your technical experience and engineering judgement to the development of robotics and perception solutions that can operate safely and reliably in real-world environments.\nYou’ll:\nDevelop and integrate mobile robotic systems, creating and maintaining ROS2-based software in Linux environments and integrating robotic platforms with cameras, LiDAR, depth sensors, edge computing hardware and other payloads.\nShape autonomous navigation capabilities, working with Nav2 or similar technologies across localisation, mapping, path planning, waypoint navigation, mission execution and autonomous exploration.\nSupport safe and reliable robotic operation, developing and validating capabilities such as obstacle detection, collision avoidance, safe rerouting, no-go zones and appropriate operator controls.\nDevelop computer vision and perception solutions, translating operational and user needs into effective pipelines spanning image processing, deep learning, 3D perception, scene reconstruction and spatial reasoning.\nIntegrate multimodal data, combining 2D and 3D sensor information to support navigation, inspection, mapping, change detection, object detection and situational awareness.\nDevelop solutions for real-world deployment, using containerisation, edge computing and appropriate acceleration technologies while supporting reliable and secure communication between robots, edge devices and connected systems.\nLead testing and continuous improvement, troubleshooting across hardware, software, sensors, middleware, networks and field environments, while contributing to automated testing, CI/CD and robust engineering practices.\nCollaborate and share your expertise, supporting field trials and client deployments, documenting solutions and helping colleagues develop their knowledge through technical discussions, reviews and knowledge sharing.\nYou may also contribute to JavaScript-based APIs, dashboards and operator-facing tools, helping make complex robotics capabilities accessible and useful to the people working with them.\nAbout you\nWe’re looking for someone with strong foundations in robotics and autonomous systems who enjoys solving complex problems, sharing their expertise and working collaboratively with others.\nYou don’t need to have worked with every technology we use. What’s important is that you bring the depth of experience needed to make sound technical decisions, explore different approaches and help guide solutions from development through to deployment.\nYou may thrive in this role if you:\nHave strong practical experience developing and integrating mobile robotics or autonomous systems, including hands-on experience with ROS2 and Linux-based environments.\nHave experience with autonomous navigation, using Nav2 or similar approaches across areas such as localisation, mapping, path planning, mission execution and safe navigation.\nAre confident developing in Python and/or C++ and have experience with relevant robotics, computer vision or perception tools such as PyTorch, OpenCV or Open3D.\nHave experience developing computer vision and perception solutions, which could include object detection, segmentation, image processing, 3D perception, scene reconstruction, spatial reasoning or multimodal sensor fusion.\nUnderstand how robotic systems bring together software, sensors, middleware, networks and hardware, and enjoy investigating complex challenges across these areas.\nHave experience with modern engineering practices such as Git, containerisation, automated testing and CI/CD, and value creating maintainable, well-tested and clearly documented solutions.\nBring strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to share technical ideas clearly, support colleagues and work effectively across multidisciplinary teams.\nExperience with areas such as DDS and ROS2 communication, edge acceleration, CUDA, TensorRT, cloud-connected robotics, telemetry or JavaScript-based integration would be valuable, but we don’t expect one person to bring experience in every area.\nYou may also bring experience with emerging technologies such as NeRFs, Gaussian Splatting, NVIDIA Omniverse, Unity or Unreal, or knowledge of model explainability, open-source licensing or CI/CD-based testing of robotics and machine learning pipelines. These are helpful additions rather than essential requirements.\nMost importantly, we’re looking for someone who is curious, collaborative and thoughtful in their approach, who enjoys sharing their knowledge and who wants to help us develop robotics solutions that are safe, reliable and valuable in real-world engineering environments.\nRewards & benefits\nExplore the rewards and benefits that help you thrive - at every stage of your life and your career. Enjoy competitive salaries, employee rewards and a brilliant range of benefits you can tailor to suit your own health, wellbeing, financial and lifestyle choices.
