Software Engineer, Robotics, Python

I’m working with an early-stage robotics company building autonomous systems for complex logistics applications. They’re now hiring a Staff Robotics Software Engineer to help develop, deploy and improve the software that powers those systems in the real world.

• Designing, implementing and debugging software for autonomous robotic systems.
• Developing across areas including motion control, perception and hardware interfaces.
• Writing high-quality, maintainable software in C++ and Python.
• Bringing up software on physical robotic hardware and troubleshooting issues across the hardware/software boundary.
• Testing and validating software performance on real systems rather than relying solely on simulation.
• Building robust software with fault detection, graceful degradation and fail-safe behaviour in mind.
• Investigating root causes of failures and driving issues through to resolution.

• Strong programming experience in C++ and Python.
• Experience shipping software onto a deployed physical robotic system.
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills across complex software and hardware systems.
• Experience developing software where reliability, safety and real-world performance matter.
• The ability to operate effectively within a fast-moving, early-stage engineering environment.
• A willingness to take ownership, work independently and contribute outside of a narrowly defined remit.
