Job Description

Agile C++ Software Engineer - Robotics & Autonomous Systems
Location: Bristol
Contract: 12 Weeks | Inside IR35
Rate: £63
Security Clearance: BPSS (Baseline Personnel Security Standard) required

Join a cutting-edge Global Technologies Team at the forefront of innovation in robotics, autonomous systems, and cloud-based simulation. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to high-impact projects in a fast-paced, agile environment, working with industry-leading tools and technologies.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain cross-platform C++ code libraries (Linux, Windows, Android) using CMake.




• Build and integrate robotics applications using ROS, OpenCV, Boost, and Jsoncpp.




• Implement and optimise object detection models (e.g. YOLOv5) with Nvidia CUDA acceleration.




• Develop and deploy cloud-based applications using Azure DevOps, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines.




• Write unit tests with Google Test Framework and manage automated testing in Azure (YAML scripting).




• Interface with sensors and hardware (Nvidia Jetson, Raspberry Pi, depth cameras, 3D point cloud sensors).




• Develop communication protocols and safety systems for autonomous navigation using Mavlink.




• Collaborate with pilots and stakeholders to ensure safe handover between autonomous and manual control.




• Maintain C++ cross- interfaces, particularly with C#.

Required Skills:

• Strong proficiency in C++ and object-oriented design.




• Experience with CMake and Linux development.




• Familiarity with Docker and cloud-based CI/CD pipelines.




• Solid understanding of Git workflows (FEATURE, PBI, Releases).




• Basic experience with C# for interface development.




• Knowledge of Mavlink and flight controller integration.

Desirable Experience:

• Working with depth cameras, 3D point cloud data, and sensor fusion techniques (e.g. Kalman filters).




• Experience with Nvidia Jetson, Raspberry Pi, and embedded systems.




• Machine learning for object detection (YOLOv5) and CUDA optimisation.




• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills.




• Azure DevOps and YAML pipeline scripting.
