Senior Embedded Software Engineer

Gloucestershire

up to £75k + benefits

I’m currently partnered with an international engineering business operating at the cutting edge of motion control, robotics, and industrial automation.

They design and build advanced motion controllers used in highly precise applications, think CNC machinery, 3D printing, and robotic arms. Where complex, synchronised movement across multiple axes is critical

What you’ll be doing

As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer, you’ll play a key role in developing next-generation motion control systems. You’ll be working across ARM-based platforms (RTOS and bare metal), focusing on integrating and optimising algorithms that govern complex motion control through 2D and 3D

* Architecting and developing embedded software for advanced motion and robotic systems

* Designing and optimising real-time algorithms

* Working across ARM-based platforms (RTOS and bare metal)

* Collaborating closely with hardware and applications teams on bespoke systems

* Contributing across the full lifecycle, from concept through to deployment and support

* Mentoring engineers and influencing technical direction

About you

You’ll be someone who enjoys the mathematics and physics of problem solving in an embedded environment,

If you’ve worked on algorithm development before that’s great, as this role will largely be focused in integrating the mathematics of motion into the controllers.

You may have worked on things like acceleration, trajectory, path planning or precise control applications with an aim of optimising, smoothing or refining software control

You’ll have broad experience covering a few areas:

* Strong embedded C/C++ experience

* Experience with ARM architectures

* Background in RTOS and/or bare metal development

It would be great if you have an interest in algorithm development and optimisation, or a solid grounding in control theory, inverse kinematics, system modelling, motor control or industrial automation (PLC) experience

Why This Role?

This is a fascinating niche to operate, working with both big and small projects from automated robotic manufacturing in automotive to high end Hollywood camera systems used in film and everything in between, you’ll get to:

* Work in an R&D Environment

* On genuinely cutting-edge technology in robotics and industrial automation

* Be part of a business with a global footprint and strong engineering culture

* Opportunity to solve complex problems that directly impact physical systems

This is a niche space, but if you’ve worked in embedded systems where precision and performance really matter, it could be a great fit.

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.
