Autodiscovery Wantage
Lead the design and deployment of autonomous robotic systems, owning software architecture across perception, planning and control. Work spans prototyping, simulation and field testing, integrating with hardware teams while mentoring engineers and shaping technical roadmaps. Requires depth in C++, ROS2, SLAM and real-time systems.
Arden Resourcing Oxford £80,000 – £100,000 pa
Designs and builds robotics software covering autonomous navigation, perception, motion planning and control, taking projects from concept through simulation, testing and deployment. Works closely with hardware, electronics and mechanical engineers, mentors junior staff and contributes to software architecture and technology strategy. Requires C++/Python, ROS/ROS2 and real-time robotics simulation experience.
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 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.
Macstaff Witney £50,000 – £60,000 pa
Hands-on role taking technical ownership of automation and production engineering projects from concept to implementation. Involves designing and building machinery, jigs and tooling, programming PLCs, industrial robots and CNC machines, supporting NPI, capital equipment procurement and continuous improvement via Kaizen and 5S. Works cross-functionally with Production, Design and Quality teams in a high-volume manufacturing environment.
Dexory Wallingford
Keeps a global robot fleet online by owning connectivity cases from first report to fix, working with customer IT on firewalls, port access and Wi-Fi coverage. Diagnoses faults across cellular, Wi-Fi, VPN and DNS, commissions routers for new sites, and builds Go and shell tooling plus monitoring. Hybrid role with warehouse site visits, closer to software and customer support than enterprise networking.
Morgan McKinley Bampton CA$40,000 – CA$50,000 pa
Hands-on role bridging R&D and production for next-generation fluidic products, building, wiring and commissioning assembly fixtures, automated test equipment and robotic cells. Involves process scale-up (precision dispensing, laser welding, leak testing), equipment validation (FAT/SAT, IQ/OQ/PQ) and continuous improvement using root-cause analysis and SPC.
Spectrum IT Recruitment Bampton £40,000 – £60,000 pa
Design and develop safety-critical embedded software for next-generation autonomous systems, working within a specialist team and contributing to software architecture. The role sits in an evolving, regulated engineering space and requires strong C/C++ embedded experience plus familiarity with real-time systems. Office attendance is required three days per week.
Paddington Robotics Oxford
Builds and owns mission-critical AI systems end-to-end, working on the AVIS orchestration platform that fuses multi-modal data such as text, imagery, telemetry and sensor feeds for defence, security and critical infrastructure customers. Engineers are held to a single high standard and judged on whether what they ship holds up in production.
Morgan McKinley Bampton CA$45,000 – CA$55,000 pa
Design, build and deploy control systems spanning compact retro-fit vision kits to turnkey automation machinery. Work covers the full lifecycle: AutoCAD Electrical schematics, panel layouts, PLC programming and debugging, panel wiring, electrical testing and commissioning at customer sites in the UK and overseas. Involves specifying safety hardware and industrial communication architecture, coordinating suppliers and producing project documentation.
Paddington Robotics London £700 – £900 pd
Build and own frontier AI systems end-to-end for defence and national security, working on the AVIS orchestration platform that fuses multi-modal data such as text, imagery, telemetry and sensor feeds. The role is a contract engagement with regular on-site time in Oxford or London, shipping production systems where wrong decisions carry high stakes.
