Revolutionary Robotics

Transform Global Logistics with Cutting-Edge Robot Technology

Our client is an innovative robotics company that's revolutionising the warehousing and logistics industry through advanced automation and data intelligence.

About

This isn't your typical robotics startup. Our client combines infectious enthusiasm with deep expertise across manufacturing, AI, and software development. They're building advanced software powered by cutting-edge robots that are genuinely transforming global logistics operations.

With a high-performance, high-reward culture built on innovation and collaboration, they're looking for passionate engineers who want to turn theory into tangible results. This is a place where the best ideas win, careers are defined, and you'll have all the tools you need to make your mark.

The Role

As an Embedded Firmware Engineer, you'll be instrumental in delivering complex and reliable embedded solutions for state-of-the-art robot platforms. You'll work at the exciting intersection of hardware, software, and electronics, helping to shape and deploy firmware that meets demanding performance, reliability, and safety standards.

Key Responsibilities

Firmware Development & Delivery

Design, implement, and optimise firmware for in-house electronics built on STM32 (FreeRTOS) platform
Rapidly prototype and iterate to balance quick value delivery with quality and rigorous testing
Collaborate across functional teams (hardware, software, electronics) to define and refine requirements and interfaces

Fast Iteration & Testing
Drive rapid development cycles with continuous improvement and comprehensive testing protocols

What They're Looking For

Our client values attitude, humility, and character as much as technical talent. They encourage applications even if you feel you only meet part of the criteria - diversity drives their innovation.

Essential qualities:
Passion for robotics and turning concepts into real-world solutions
Collaborative mindset with ability to work across disciplines
Hunger to learn, grow, and make your mark
Enthusiasm for working in a fast-paced, high-performance environment

Robotics Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Robotics looks futuristic from the outside. People picture humanoid machines, cutting-edge labs & young engineers writing complex code. In the UK job market, the reality is more practical and more encouraging for career switchers: robotics is already embedded across manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, agriculture, defence, construction & inspection. That means there are real jobs for people in their 30s, 40s & 50s who bring operational experience, delivery skills, quality discipline & the ability to work with real-world systems. This article gives you a clear UK reality check on robotics careers for career switchers: what roles genuinely exist, which paths are most realistic, what skills employers actually hire for, how long retraining tends to take & whether age is a factor.

How to Write a Robotics Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Robotics is moving rapidly from research labs into real-world deployment. Across the UK, robots are now used in manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, defence, agriculture, autonomous vehicles and service industries. As adoption accelerates, demand for skilled robotics professionals continues to grow. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Robotics job adverts often receive either very few applications or large numbers of unsuitable ones. Experienced robotics engineers, meanwhile, routinely skip adverts that feel vague, unrealistic or disconnected from how robotics systems actually work in practice. In most cases, the problem is not the talent pool — it is the job advert itself. Robotics professionals are systems thinkers. They care deeply about constraints, integration and real-world performance. A poorly written job ad signals weak technical understanding and unrealistic expectations. A well-written one signals credibility, seriousness and a mature robotics programme. This guide explains how to write a robotics job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a credible employer in the robotics sector.

Maths for Robotics Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are applying for robotics jobs in the UK it is easy to assume you need degree level maths across everything. Most roles do not work like that. What hiring managers usually mean by “strong maths” is much more practical: you can move confidently between coordinate frames you understand rotations without getting lost you can reason about kinematics, control, uncertainty & optimisation you can turn that maths into working code in a robotics stack This guide focuses on the only maths topics that consistently show up across common UK roles like Robotics Software Engineer, Controls Engineer, Autonomous Systems Engineer, Perception Engineer, SLAM Engineer, Robotics Research Engineer, Mechatronics Engineer & Robotics Systems Engineer. You will also get a 6 week learning plan, portfolio projects & a resources section so you can learn fast without drowning in theory.
