Robotics Software Engineer

Overview
Are you passionate about transforming raw data into powerful insights that drive innovation and impact? Join a forward-thinking consultancy that combines strategy, design, and engineering to deliver cutting-edge digital solutions at scale.
This is a unique opportunity to work in a collaborative, cross-functional team environment where curiosity, creativity, and technical expertise are celebrated. You’ll help clients tackle complex challenges and adapt to a fast-changing world, using cloud technologies and modern data practices to make a lasting difference.

What You’ll Be Doing

Design and deploy scalable data pipelines from ingestion to consumption using tools like Python, Scala, Spark, Java, and SQL.
Integrate data engineering components into wider production systems in collaboration with software engineering teams.
Work with large volumes of structured and unstructured data from diverse sources, applying robust data wrangling, cleaning, and transformation techniques.
Develop solutions in AWS using services like EMR, Glue, RedShift, Kinesis, Lambda, and DynamoDB (or equivalent open-source tools).
Apply your knowledge of batch and stream processing, and where applicable, contribute to data science and machine learning initiatives.
Operate in Agile environments and actively participate in Scrum ceremonies.
Use your understanding of best practices in cloud-native data architecture, including serverless and container-based approaches.What We’re Looking For

Proven experience designing and building data pipelines and data architectures in cloud environments, particularly AWS.
Strong coding ability in languages such as Python, Java, or Scala.
Hands-on experience with data ingestion, transformation, and storage technologies.
Familiarity with data visualization, reporting, and analytical tools.
Comfortable working in Agile teams and contributing to all stages of development.
Willingness to travel to client sites when necessary.Desirable Skills

Experience with AWS-native tools for data processing (EMR, Glue, RedShift, Kinesis, etc.).
Familiarity with open-source equivalents is also welcome.
Knowledge of machine learning, data mining, or natural language processing is a plus.
Understanding of platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and serverless architectures.
Unfortunately this role cannot offer sponsosrship, as candidates must be SC eligible

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.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Robotics Job Applications (UK Guide)

Robotics is one of the most dynamic, interdisciplinary fields in technology — blending mechanical systems, embedded software, controls, perception (AI/vision), modelling, simulation and systems integration. Hiring managers in this space are highly selective because robotics teams need people who can solve real-world problems under constraints, work across disciplines, and deliver safe, reliable systems. And here’s the reality: hiring managers do not read every word of your CV. Like in many tech domains, they scan quickly — often forming a judgement in the first 10–20 seconds. In robotics, those first signals are especially important because the work is complex and there’s a wide range of candidate backgrounds. This guide unpacks exactly what hiring managers look for first in robotics applications and how to optimise your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you stand out in the UK market.

The Skills Gap in Robotics Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Robotics is no longer confined to science fiction or isolated research labs. Today, robots perform critical tasks across manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, agriculture, defence, hospitality and even education. In the UK, businesses are embracing automation to improve productivity, reduce costs and tackle labour shortages. Yet despite strong interest and a growing number of university programmes in robotics, many employers report a persistent problem: graduates are not job-ready for real-world robotics roles. This is not a question of intelligence or dedication. It is a widening skills gap between what universities teach and what employers actually need in robotics jobs. In this article, we’ll explore that gap in depth — what universities do well, where their programmes often fall short, why the disconnect exists, what employers really want, and how you can bridge the divide to build a thriving career in robotics.
