Job Description

Are you looking to work in Automation and develop industry-leading technologies on a collaborative development team? A proven track record in technology is required - tell us what interests you and how you can help our emerging technology programs. This is an opportunity to impact materials handling by bringing Hyster and Yale products to the forefront of the marketplace.

Our teams work on great projects within our "hands-on" engineering development centre in the South East of England. This role is within the Frimley-based global robotics development team contributing to the development of robotic options for all lift truck models.

Role Summary

The Robotics Cloud Software Engineer III is a senior individual contributor responsible for architecting, developing, and scaling cloud services, dashboards, and data processing systems that support robotics and autonomous vehicle technology. This role

combines cloud software engineering, distributed systems development, IoT platform integration, and hands on work with vehicles and robotic systems deployed in real world environments

Key Responsibilities

Cloud Platform Development

• Design and develop scalable dashboards and user interfaces for robotics, traffic management and telemetry.
• Integrate, transform, and combine multiple datasets to deliver meaningful, actionable user insights.
• Use open-source frameworks, tools, and libraries (e.g., NuxtJS, NestJS, Grafana, D3.js) to create visually rich and responsive dashboards.
• Build cloud-native APIs and microservices enabling machine-to-cloud communication using REST, gRPC, MQTT, and messaging technologies.
• Develop IoT solutions using Azure IoT Hub, Device Provisioning Service (DPS), Azure Event Hub, Azure Functions, and other cloud services to support secure telemetry ingestion and bi-directional device communication.

Robotics and Telemetry Integration

• Integrate cloud services with vehicle and robotic systems, enabling telemetry streaming, remote monitoring, automation, and operator-assist capabilities.
• Build and maintain both real-time and batch data ingestion pipelines using services such as Azure Event Hub, Azure Stream Analytics, Azure Data Explorer, and Cosmos DB.
• Provide secure, reliable access for dealers and partners to HYMH databases via authenticated web service interfaces.
• Collaborate closely with telemetry platform teams, robotics engineers, external vendors, and customer organizations to deliver end-to-end robotics functionality.

Software Development, Testing, and Reliability

• Simulate, verify, and validate developed software to ensure it meets functional, integration, and stakeholder requirements.
• Deliver high-quality software using Agile methodologies with an emphasis on reliability, scalability, and system performance.
• Implement observability using metrics, distributed logging, and alerting (e.g.,
• Azure Monitor, Application Insights, Prometheus, Grafana) to support high-availability robotics solutions.
• Contribute to engineering best practices, including documentation, coding standards, CI/CD pipelines, and continuous improvement initiatives.

Architecture and Technical Leadership

• Participate in architectural design and planning for cloud, data, and robotics platform solutions, including IoT device management, telemetry architectures, and data flows.
• Mentor junior engineers and foster growth of technical expertise across the broader engineering team.
• Contribute to sprint planning, design reviews, architecture sessions, and cross-functional technical discussions.

Experience/Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
• Four years of relevant engineering experience
• Proficiency in at least one modern programming language such as Java, C++, or C Sharp
• Experience with SQL and NoSQL database development and automation of web queries
• Experience working in an Agile software development environment
• Experience with Microsoft Azure cloud services
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Strong analytical thinking, problem solving, and design capabilities

Preferred Qualifications

• Exposure to robotics, autonomous vehicles, mobile or of highway equipment, or industrial automation through coursework, internships, professional work, or personal projects
• Experience working with electrical engineering and embedded software teams
• Experience with telemetry systems, IoT integration, or fleet management platforms
• Experience with ROS or ROS2, simulation environments, or real time streaming data systems is beneficial

Working Conditions

• Combination of office, lab, workshop, and test area environments including work with prototype robotic or autonomous vehicles
• Occasional travel to suppliers, customer sites, manufacturing locations, or test facilities

Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc. is an equal opportunity employer.

The successful candidate will be subject to background checks.
