Autonomous Systems Engineer

🚁 ArduPilot / GPS-Denied Navigation Engineers - Urgent Need!

A heavily funded defence tech start-up that has just emerged from stealth has seen rapid success off the back of their passion to support Ukraine. What they do matters and they are set to have a huge impact on NATO Defence.

Right now, they are building autonomous systems designed to operate in GPS-denied environments.

The team is working on real-world platforms already being deployed, solving some extremely difficult navigation problems where GNSS simply isn't reliable. Data from the front line means new iterations are constantly needed and technology changes.

So you'll need to thrive in fast pace environments.

They're looking for engineers who have experience with:

  • ArduPilot

  • GPS-denied / GNSS-denied navigation

  • Sensor fusion across multiple payloads (No specific stack)

    This is a small, high-calibre team tackling genuinely hard engineering problems based out of London.

    If you've worked on UAV autopilots, robotics autonomy, or advanced sensor fusion, I'd be keen to speak.

Where to Advertise Robotics Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise robotics jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, university channels and community routes that reach robotics, SLAM and controls talent. The candidate pool spans mechanical engineers, software developers, controls specialists, computer vision researchers and systems integrators — a multidisciplinary mix that general job boards are poorly equipped to reach. The strongest robotics candidates are often embedded in research groups, defence programmes or advanced manufacturing environments, and move between roles through specialist networks and industry events rather than mainstream platforms. This guide, published by RoboticsJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise robotics roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.
