Senior Robotics Engineer
Want to work with a team who are building a software platform that lets roboticists deploy robot applications faster?
Robotics needs better developer tools. This team is building them.
A UK based start-up is looking for a Senior Robotics Engineer to join their team and support the development and integration of robotics capabilities across their platform. The role spans simulation to real‑world multi‑robot systems, teleoperation and telepresence, real‑time data visualisation, and fleet‑level management - helping roboticists, developers, and enterprises deploy robots faster and more reliably.
If you love working across motion control, real‑time systems and AI‑powered autonomy; and want to shape tooling that speeds up robotics for everyone else – keep reading.
What You’ll Be Doing:
* Collaborate in designing, developing, and maintaining the platform roadmap
* Build and maintain drivers, interfaces, and protocol bridges for ROS2 and non‑ROS robots
* Integrate a wide range of robots, sensors, and actuators into the platform
* Develop features for: teleoperation & telepresence (low‑latency, safety, failovers) and Real‑time telemetry, diagnostics, and fleet‑level coordination
* Support simulation‑to‑reality workflows and ensure fidelity between sim and real hardware
* Test, validate, and tune systems on both simulated and live robots
* Create tutorials, documentation, and demo applications to enable users at all levels
* Act as a senior technical escalation point for complex robotics issues
* Align implementation with platform architecture and contribute to long‑term robotics strategy
What They’re Looking For:
* 4+ years in robotics R&D or applied robotics engineering
* Degree in Robotics, Engineering, CS or similar
* Hands‑on with ROS2, robot hardware integration and simulation tools (Gazebo/IsaacSim)
* Strong understanding of robotics systems: perception, control, autonomy, or fleet coordination
* Comfortable moving from prototypes to production‑ready systems
* Confident troubleshooting across software and hardware
Nice to Have:
* Teleoperation, telepresence, or remote robot control experience
* Fleet management / multi‑robot system exposure
* Open‑source robotics contributions
* Familiarity with safety‑critical robotics
Hybrid working with offices in Sheffield.
Salary up to £75,000 + benefits.
