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.

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.

How Many Robotics Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Robotics Job?

If you’re pursuing a career in robotics, it can feel like the list of tools you should learn never ends. One job advert asks for ROS, another mentions Gazebo, another wants experience with Python, Linux, C++, RobotStudio, MATLAB/Simulink, perception stacks, control frameworks, real-time OS, vision libraries — and that’s just scratching the surface. With so many frameworks, languages and platforms, it’s no wonder robotics job seekers feel overwhelmed. But here’s the honest truth most recruiters won’t say explicitly: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can apply the right tools to solve real robotics problems reliably and explain your reasoning clearly. Tools matter — but only in service of outcomes. So the real question isn’t how many tools you should know, but which tools you should master and why. For most robotics roles, the answer is significantly fewer — and far more focused — than you might assume. This article breaks down what employers really expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable, confident, and ready to contribute from day one.
