Job description

In this role you will take the lead in the development of software that's a key component within a highly configurable automated manufacturing system.

Your breadth of experience will allow you to understand the system as a whole and to contribute creatively throughout the development lifecycle from initial concepts, prototyping, and architecture through to inventing techniques for testing the system. It's a complex undertaking requiring innovations in multiple technologies including software, and you will be liaising closely with colleagues from hardware design and manufacturing backgrounds to ensure the system functions seamlessly.

Requirements:

• A minimum of a 2.1 bachelor's degree from a well-ranked university in a subject such as computer science, electronics, or mechanical engineering.
• Strong Python software engineering skills - demonstrable ability to implement substantial, well-structured, reliable, and maintainable Python software (casual academic-level scripting won't suffice). Additional skills in C++ and C# would be a bonus.
• Expertise in robotics/control systems, safety-critical systems, and networking protocols.
• Full, pre-existing UK work permission with no time limits or restrictions.

The role is fully on-site, based in modern, well-equipped facilities. A highly competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package are on offer to the successful candidate. This is a great opportunity to make your mark on a multifaceted development project with positive real-world impact.
