Software Engineer ( Robotics & Automation )

Role: SCADA / PLC Automation Engineer
Salary: £40k - £60k per year + benefits
Location: Fully Remote, UK
Are you a Manufacturing Automation Engineer who is looking for something just a little bit different?
A chance to develop your programming skills and to get into the world of AI and Machine Learning?
Working for a new, unique hybrid engineering/ML company who are shaking up a huge global industry, you’ll have a chance to combine your love of tinkering with robotics and automation with a newfound appreciation of all of the possibilities of AI and Machine Learning in the field of industrial manufacturing.
This company have come from seemingly nowhere to suddenly be one of the hottest names in their industry, but their success is no overnight success story.
They are led by experts in the robotics, automations and manufacturing industry – these bright sparks saw an opportunity to spin out a new company that combined old school know-how with cutting edge data and Machine Learning technology and so far, their order book shows no sign of slowing down.
You’ll be joining a charismatic and passionate manager who is well travelled in the world of automation and manufacturing technology – he’s going to be someone amazing to learn from.
He’s looking for someone who shares his joy at breaking things and then fixing them to understand how things work…someone who is a true engineer at heart. He wants someone who has several years of SCADA and PLC programming experience (Siemens preferred though Rockwell, Schneider, Mitsubishi is fine).
You’ll have worked with current and obsolete PLC/SCADA systems and will ideally have a good understanding of databases such as Microsoft Sql Server or MySql.
Any programming experience with Python, C++ or BASIC would be advantageous, BUT, if you don’t have strong programming experience but are able to learn quickly and are excited about adding more programming experience to your armoury then you will still be considered!
Ideally you will also have at least some experience of working within food manufacturing environments.
This role will be hybrid with time spent between your home, their office in South Yorkshire and client sites across the UK, so you must be comfortable with travel.
Please apply or call us (google Rebel Recruiters for our number!) to discuss further.
We welcome diverse applicants and are dedicated to treating all applicants with dignity and respect, regardless of background

Robotics Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK robotics hiring has shifted from toolbox checklists to capability‑driven evaluation that emphasises deployed systems, safety, reliability and total cost of ownership. Employers want proof you can ship and sustain robots in production—industrial arms & cobots, AMRs/AGVs, field robots, surgical/med‑tech, warehouse automation, inspection & maintenance. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews and how to prepare—especially for robotics software engineers (ROS/ROS 2), perception/vision engineers, controls & motion planners, mechatronics & embedded, safety & compliance, test/V&V, DevOps/SRE for fleets, and robotics product managers. Who this is for: Robotics software/perception/controls engineers, mechatronics & embedded, simulation & test, DevOps/SRE for robotics fleets, HRI/UX, safety/compliance, field/commissioning engineers, and product/technical programme managers in the UK.

Why Robotics Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Robotics used to be the domain of mechanical, electrical and software engineers. In the UK today, robotics is more than motors and control loops — it’s about perception, interaction, trust, regulation and integration into human environments. That evolution means robotics careers are becoming more multidisciplinary. Modern robots interact with people, collect data, operate under constraints, and often assist in safety-critical environments (healthcare, manufacturing, transport). So engineers now collaborate closely with legal, ethical, psychological, linguistic and design experts. In this article, we explore why UK robotics careers are evolving into multidisciplinary roles, how law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design intersect with robotics, and how job-seekers and employers can adapt to this shift.

Robotics Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Robotics Department

Robotics is transforming manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, agriculture, entertainment and more. In the UK, advances in robotics span autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), robotic arms, surgical robotics, drone systems, human-robot interaction, and collaborative robots (cobots). Building effective robotics systems requires not only strong hardware and software, but also finely coordinated teams with clear roles from research through deployment and maintenance. If you’re a candidate applying for robotics roles or an employer hiring through RoboticsJobs.co.uk, this guide will help you understand who does what in a mature robotics department, how the lifecycle of a robotics product works, what skills and qualifications UK employers typically expect, what salaries look like, common challenges, and best practices for structuring teams that deliver.
