Senior Autonomy Software Engineer

Senior Autonomy Software Engineer | C++ / Python

Advanced Autonomous Systems | Robotics | R&D

We’re recruiting 2 Senior Autonomy Software Engineers to join a rapidly growing engineering team developing next-generation autonomous systems.

This is an opportunity to work at the forefront of autonomy and robotics, helping turn innovative ideas and emerging technologies into real-world capabilities. You’ll be joining a business investing heavily in UK engineering and R&D, with the pace, technical freedom and collaborative culture of a technology scale-up. The environment is fast-moving, hands-on and highly iterative. Engineers work closely with multidisciplinary teams to prototype, test, learn and refine solutions, with a real opportunity to influence technical direction.

What you’ll be working on

• Designing and developing autonomy software using C++ and Python.
• Developing capabilities across perception, localisation, mapping, navigation, planning and sensor fusion.
• Building and integrating autonomy solutions using ROS / ROS2.
• Developing algorithms and translating research into deployable software.
• Integrating software with real-world sensors, hardware and autonomous platforms.
• Supporting rapid prototyping, simulation, testing and validation.

What we’re looking for

• Strong commercial experience developing software in C++ and Python.
• A background in robotics, autonomous systems or applied autonomy R&D.
• Experience with ROS / ROS2.
• Knowledge of relevant autonomy disciplines such as SLAM, perception, path planning, navigation or sensor fusion.
• Experience developing and testing software for real-world autonomous or robotic systems.
• A practical, problem-solving mindset and enthusiasm for working in a fast-moving R&D environment
• Experience with libraries such as OpenCV, PCL, Eigen or NumPy would be beneficial.

Why consider it?

This isn’t an environment where engineers spend years developing technology before seeing it tested. You’ll work alongside talented specialists across robotics, software and systems engineering, developing new capabilities through rapid prototyping, experimentation and continuous iteration.
