** Job Description**## Overview At AtkinsRéalis Nuclear, we're using digital technology to help address some of the nuclear sector's most complex challenges, from modernising infrastructure and enhancing safety to supporting the transition to low-carbon energy.

Our Digital Products and Technology (DP&T) team works collaboratively with clients to develop secure, scalable solutions that bring together robotics, IoT, perception and engineering data.

We're looking for a Senior Robotics Engineer to help shape, develop and deploy robotic and perception systems that generate valuable insights and support autonomous operations in complex engineering environments.

You'll work across mobile robotics, ROS2, autonomous navigation, computer vision, sensor integration and edge deployment, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to turn complex challenges into safe, reliable and maintainable solutions with real-world impact.

This is an opportunity to contribute across the full robotics lifecycle, from understanding the problem and shaping the technical approach through to integration, testing, field deployment and continuous improvement. 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.##

Your role

As 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.

You'll:
* Develop 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.
* Shape autonomous navigation capabilities, working with Nav2 or similar technologies across localisation, mapping, path planning, waypoint navigation, mission execution and autonomous exploration.
* Support safe and reliable robotic operation, developing and validating capabilities such as obstacle detection, collision avoidance, safe rerouting, no-go zones and appropriate operator controls.
* Develop 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.
* Integrate multimodal data, combining 2D and 3D sensor information to support navigation, inspection, mapping, change detection, object detection and situational awareness.
* Develop 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.
* Lead 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.
* Collaborate 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.

You 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.## About youWe're looking for…
