Software Engineer - Robotics Systems
Job Experience
Contract Details: £500-800 Per Day, 6-month contract, outside IR35, hybrid (2-3 days/week in London).
Role Overview: Develop and integrate robotic software systems, focusing on production-level coding and sensor integration in an Agile environment within an exciting start-up.
Required Experience - Jira, Python, Docker, ROS2, C++
* Minimum 3 years of production-level software engineering in robotics or related fields.
* Developed robotic manipulators (kinematics, dynamics, motion planning) using Python (NumPy) and C++ (Eigen).
* Integrated sensors (RGB, depth, LiDAR) for navigation/localisation on platforms like Clearpath using ROS2.
* Worked in Agile (Scrum) teams, managing tasks with Jira, contributing to sprints and retrospectives.
* Applied CI/CD pipelines and Git for modular code delivery in Docker-based environments.
Desirable Experience
* Experience with PyTorch for AI-based perception/control.
* Familiarity with MoveIt for motion planning in ROS2.
* Knowledge of CUDA for C++ real-time optimisation.
