Are you looking for an opportunity to have autonomy & ownership as a founding Developer Relations Advocate within the fast-paced IIoT industry?
I’m working with a scale-up industrial automation company HQ’d in San Francisco to bring on their first DevRel Advocate to influence & shape how they go to market, as well as infiltrate & build a standout presence in the Industrial IOT community.
This role could suit you if you’re coming from a technical project management, marketing, BD or engineering/ manufacturing background & interested in blending your skills, becoming a genuine asset in this sector.
The key skill I’m looking for is a master at creating engaging content with online & offline developer communities and ecosystems, including open-source platforms, technical blogs, social channels, forums & professional networks.
Although the focus of this role does fall into the technical marketing capacity, there is an element of BD, connecting the dots & attracting new clients through the above activities which will be important in quantifying parts of your success.
It’s a cross-functional role where you’ll have the resources to communicate with the internal digital marketing, sales, product & engineering teams to help create the strategy you see best.
Industrial Protocol Knowledge includes understanding industrial communication protocols such as OPC-UA, Modbus, MQTT, or similar technologies used in manufacturing & automation.
Community is at the heart of this position so if you’re coming from the industry and are interested in a unique role that balances your technical expertise & desire to grow a scaling business, this is the perfect role for you.
Reporting to the Head of Product, this in an influential, strategic, long-term role within the company, with a 90-day business plan I can share with you so if you feel like you tick some of these boxes, please do get in touch!
We welcome diverse applicants and are dedicated to treating all applicants with dignity and respect, regardless of background

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.
