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-language 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.
