Job description

Robotic Vision Application Software Engineer

About the Role

We are seeking a driven Software Engineer to help pioneer new developments in robotic vision and controls technology- a strong proficiency in C++17 development is essential.

In this position, you'll focus on architecting, building, and validating PC-based software solutions for various robotic vision applications, working across a spectrum from experimental prototypes to refined production ready product releases.

This is not a work from home role and requires office based attendance.

Responsibilities

Work closely with a small multi disciplinary team as the software lead to outline technical requirements and establish effective testing procedures.

Produce maintainable, optimised code that aligns with technical specifications.

Prepare and update comprehensive technical documentation that meets industry protocols.

Participate actively in quality assurance, including software testing and peer code reviews.

Accelerate concept development through fast prototyping and iteration.

Troubleshoot and fix issues identified during field operations and deployments.

Contribute to ongoing research and planning activities relevant to the position.

Aid in handling and protecting intellectual property with the leadership team.

Liaise with external collaborators and partners as directed by management.Candidate Essentials

Eligibility

Candidates must be EU nationals or have permanent resident status in the UK.

Must-Have Skills & Background

Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or a comparable field.

Solid hands-on experience programming in C++17, for both Windows and Linux systems (preferred).Valuable Skills & Qualities

Skilled in developing software at a low level, preferring minimal reliance on third-party libraries.

Previous experience working on real-time systems.

Understanding of multi-threaded software design.

Familiarity with technologies like OpenGL, GTK, and CMake.

Demonstrated ability in building intuitive graphical user interfaces.

Commitment to writing robust, well-tested code.

Knowledge of quality standards and regulatory requirements in the software industry.

Excellent communicator, comfortable conveying complex technical topics to varied audiences.

Self-motivated and effective at managing multiple priorities and time lines.

Willing contributor to broader research and strategic discussions.

Quick learner who thrives with minimal supervision.

Skilled with MS Office and confident preparing detailed written reports.

Basic grasp of broader engineering or related industry domains.

Fluent spoken and written English.If shaping the future of robotic vision and imaging excites you, we'd love to hear from you!

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

Advertising robotics jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. 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.

Robotics Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Robotics is having a moment that feels qualitatively different from the cycles of hype and disappointment that have characterised the sector in previous decades. The convergence of advances in AI, computer vision, battery technology, and hardware manufacturing has brought robotics to an inflection point — one where the gap between what robots can do in controlled laboratory conditions and what they can do in the unpredictable complexity of the real world is closing faster than at any previous point in the discipline's history. For job seekers, this inflection point is creating a jobs market that is expanding rapidly across a far wider range of industries and role types than robotics has historically occupied. Automotive and manufacturing remain significant employers, but they are now joined by logistics and warehousing, healthcare, agriculture, construction, defence, and the emerging category of humanoid robotics — each generating distinct hiring demand and drawing on overlapping but meaningfully different skill sets. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which application areas are scaling from pilot to production, which technologies are defining the architecture of modern robotic systems, and how the definition of a robotics career is evolving beyond the mechanical engineering core toward a much richer intersection of software, AI, and systems engineering. This article breaks down what the UK robotics jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career at the leading edge of one of the most exciting technology transitions of the coming decade.

New Robotics Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Transforming Automation Careers

Robotics is moving rapidly from factory floors into healthcare, logistics, agriculture, autonomous systems, and consumer products. As automation becomes embedded in everyday life, companies are investing in robots that operate alongside humans, analyse environments in real time, and learn from data. In 2026, demand for robotics engineers, software developers, system integrators, and AI specialists continues to surge. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.RoboticsJobs.co.uk , understanding the employers that are scaling, winning contracts, securing investment, or expanding into the UK market is crucial. This article highlights top robotics employers to watch in 2026, spanning innovative startups, high‑growth scale‑ups, and established global technology leaders with strong UK presence.
