Robotics Jobs in Cambridge

• Cambridge
• Mid-level

Design and develop novel mechatronic systems for medical devices, including liquid handling machines and surgical robotics, within a multidisciplinary R&D team. Take concepts through iterations to manufacture, designing intricate mechanisms while owning wider system development. Open on sector background, but complex mechatronics experience is essential.

SolidWorks · ProE

• Cambridge
• Senior
• Permanent

Hands-on role designing, building and testing software for a cell therapy manufacturing platform, spanning mobile robot interfaces, factory control, automation and orchestration. You'll deploy onto physical systems, run integration tests with robots and bioprocess equipment, and debug issues at the software-hardware boundary while mentoring other engineers.

ROS · ROS 2 · MQTT +5

• Cambridge
• £58,000 pa
• Permanent

Develops and tests onboard software for Autonomous Mobile Robots and the fleet management system, including vision processing, localisation and multi-robot path planning. The role combines ROS 2 and C++/Python development with hardware interfacing over CANopen, serial and Ethernet, plus on-site support for live operations at Nuneaton.

ROS · ROS 2 · SocketCAN +7

• Cambridge
• Permanent

An expression-of-interest pipeline for engineering roles at a cell-therapy automation company, spanning systems engineering, robotic software, mechatronics, verification and validation, systems integration and cell processing. Work focuses on factory-scale manufacturing automation, cell-based process automation and mobile robotics in high-value manufacturing, based on a purpose-built campus south of Cambridge.

• Cambridge
• £50,000 – £80,000 pa

Develops intelligent embedded systems using Python, C and C++, applying machine learning and computer vision to real-world products. Works with microcontrollers, sensors and connected hardware, designing software architectures and delivering production code while collaborating directly with clients from concept to finished product.

TensorFlow · TensorFlow Lite · OpenCV +1

• Cambridge
• On-site
• £45,000 – £75,000 pa

Designs electro-optical camera systems—lenses, mirrors and sensors—and optimises them for VIS, NIR and FIR applications, running optical simulations in OpticStudio, selecting components and testing prototypes through to product release. Works fully on-site on AI hardware products using computer vision for monitoring and tracking, with military-related applications requiring security clearance.

OpticStudio

• Cambridge
• Hybrid
• £55,000 – £75,000 pa
• Mid-level
• Permanent

Design, develop and test software for advanced robotic platforms using C++ and ROS 2, working alongside electronics, mechatronics and research teams in an Agile environment. The role includes testing, debugging and validating software reliability plus on-site support for physical robots, with occasional travel to field locations across UK and EU teams.

ROS2 · ROS1 · Linux +1

• Cambridge
• £35,000 – £45,000 pa
• Entry level

Graduate or junior engineers work across a defence product portfolio spanning ML systems, signal processing and software defined radio, from cloud platforms down to low-power electronics. No specific language is required; versatile problem-solvers with strong knowledge of at least one programming language are sought, with mentorship in a small growing team.
