This small tech team are unafraid to experiment and try new approaches, learning and building up their considerable knowledge and know-how. They are looking to hire a (senior) Software Engineer to join them. The role would be equal parts writing code as well as test and experimentation of the robots.

Requirements:

• Demonstrable industry project experience in software engineering using C# (or possibly C++). Any exposure to Python would be desirable.
• Experience with control systems and interfacing with hardware (ideally within a robotics context).
• Comfortable working with hardware including testing software on physical machines.
• Good general problem solver and communicator.

Interested candidates are likely to have a degree in computer science or electronic engineering, but moreover can evidence extensive relevant software projects involving hardware (ideally electromechanical systems).

No company sponsorship is available, and applicants should have full, unrestricted rights to work in the UK.

Due to the nature of the role, the position is fully onsite, with possible occasional UK or overseas travel to work with their mobile robots at trial sites.

On offer is a competitive salary and possible share options.
