Robotics Jobs

Humanoid · London

Owns the full training loop for vision-language-action policies, from pre-training a base model on multi-embodiment trajectory corpora through behaviour cloning and RL fine-tuning to deployment. Builds continuous data pipelines that ingest synthetic and teleop data, version and weakly-supervise it, and surface failure cases for retraining, working with MLOps and Data Collection teams on distributed training and edge inference.

Humanoid · London

Lead the design of state estimation, long-term mapping and localisation loops, integrating modern machine learning and foundation geometry models into the core navigation stack. Train and deploy large-scale multimodal networks for ultra-low latency performance on edge hardware, building 3D spatial representations that give robots persistent spatial memory. Works cross-functionally between research and reliable robot integration.

Amazon · Daventry

Carries out planned preventative maintenance, reactive repairs and fault diagnosis on automated equipment in a live distribution warehouse, working shifts including nights to minimise downtime. Supports apprentices and continuous improvement projects, liaising with contractors and senior colleagues across a global fulfilment network.

Amazon · Redditch

Maintains and repairs a wide range of equipment in a live distribution warehouse, carrying out planned preventative maintenance, reactive fault diagnosis and continuous improvement work. Based on-site and working shifts including nights, the role supports apprentices and liaises with contractors to minimise downtime.

Wayve · London

Lead a London-based team building the on-vehicle experiment platform that lets researchers deploy driving models to vehicles, run experiments and collect training data. Own people, roadmap and OEM partnerships while staying hands-on with embedded Linux, C++/Python and over-the-air deployment across vehicle fleets.

University of Oxford · Oxford · £39,424 – £47,779 pa

Develops musculoskeletal models and simulations of human-robot interaction to guide the design of wearable robots delivering assistive forces and joint torques. Examines how robotic assistance affects movement, muscle activity and joint loading, collaborating with experimental researchers to validate models against motion, force and EMG data.

University of Technology Nuremberg · Nuremberg, Germany

The role is a W3 professorship in Mechatronics & Robotics at a new German technical university, with the expectation of serving as Founding Chair for a soon-to-be-founded department. The post combines research, teaching (largely in English) and interdisciplinary collaboration within a lean, AI-focused institution.

Wayve · London

Lead a newly dedicated Runtime Platform team building the application frameworks, middleware, IPC, performance and observability foundations that let Wayve's AI Driver run in real time onboard vehicles. The role is people-first, combining coaching, hiring and roadmap ownership with technical direction across latency, profiling, real-time scheduling and embedded Linux, partnering with vehicle software, hardware and OEM programme teams.

The University of Manchester · Manchester · £27,107 pa

A 70-month part-time PhD combining research and teaching, split roughly 60% research and 40% teaching within the Control Systems and Robotics Group. The research topic is flexible, spanning control theory, autonomous systems, sensing, localisation, navigation, path planning and optimisation, with applications in nuclear, aerospace, automotive and energy sectors.

University of Nottingham · Nottingham

Develops qualitative and quantitative risk assessment and modelling approaches for robotics-based maintenance and decommissioning of nuclear fusion plants, analysing system failure modes, mission threats and recovery under uncertainty. Based in the Faculty of Engineering and supervised by Rasa Remenyte-Prescott, it is a funded PhD project starting October 2027.

University of Oxford · Oxford · £39,424 – £47,779 pa

Contribute to a project designing and controlling robots built from tensegrity structures, exploiting shape change and nonlinear mechanics to unlock locomotion and manipulation skills. Co-optimize designs and control policies via simulation and build and test tensegrity hardware, while supervising undergraduate and graduate students.

Gleeson Recruitment Group · Birmingham · £75,000 – £90,000 pa

Owns the full lifecycle of complex supply chain solutions, from network modelling and site assessments through to physical go-live of robotics, automation and WMS/TMS platforms. Leads CI rollouts across warehouse and transport networks using Lean and Six Sigma, and advises executives on multi-million-pound CAPEX business cases, tenders and P&L.

University of Birmingham · Birmingham · £21,805 pa

Lead research into robotic metamaterials that adapt their dynamics after deployment, combining table-top robotic experiments with theory and numerical simulations. Develop decentralised learning techniques for networks of active mechanical units, exploring links between network structure and functionality. Tailored to the candidate's interests within a physics and robotics lab.

Ocado · Hatfield

Take ownership of the Amazon Connect platform and its custom customer and agent portals, leading the technical handover from a third-party partner to in-house support. Day to day you'll manage AWS environments, contact flows, routing, IAM and integrations, using AI-assisted tools to maintain code and documentation while keeping the platform secure and reliable.

TTP · Cambridge

An expression-of-interest pipeline for engineering roles at a cell-therapy automation company, spanning systems engineering, robotic software, mechatronics, verification and validation, systems integration and cell processing. Work focuses on factory-scale manufacturing automation, cell-based process automation and mobile robotics in high-value manufacturing, based on a purpose-built campus south of Cambridge.
