The Role
My client is seeking a talented Flight Software Engineer to join their team building cutting-edge assurance systems for AI and robotics applications.
You will play a crucial role in developing software components that enable safe and reliable operation of AI-enabled robotics and autonomous systems within their product line
Responsibilities
● Design, develop, and implement robotic software components and algorithms for perception, planning, control, and decision-making within the product.
● Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including embedded software engineers, systems architects, and AI/ML experts, to integrate software components seamlessly into the overall system.
● Conduct rigorous testing, optimisation, and validation of robotic software components to ensure compliance with safety and performance requirements.
● Contribute to the continuous improvement of the team's software development processes, tooling, and methodologies for robotic systems.
Key Skills and Experience
● Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Aerospace, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, with a strong focus on robotics software development.
● Experience in developing software for robotic systems, with a proven track record in delivering safety-critical or mission-critical systems.
● Proficiency in C/C++ and Python, with experience in robotics frameworks (e.g., ROS, Gazebo, MoveIt).
● Strong knowledge of robotics algorithms and techniques, including perception, planning, control, and decision-making.
● Solid understanding of software development methodologies, such as Agile, Continuous Integration, and Test-Driven Development.
● Experience with safety-critical software development standards and certification processes (e.g., DO-178C, ISO 26262, IEC 61508) is a plus.
The role comes with generous benefits, and you must be eligible for UK SC clearance

New Robotics Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Transforming Automation Careers

Robotics is moving rapidly from factory floors into healthcare, logistics, agriculture, autonomous systems, and consumer products. As automation becomes embedded in everyday life, companies are investing in robots that operate alongside humans, analyse environments in real time, and learn from data. In 2026, demand for robotics engineers, software developers, system integrators, and AI specialists continues to surge. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.RoboticsJobs.co.uk , understanding the employers that are scaling, winning contracts, securing investment, or expanding into the UK market is crucial. This article highlights top robotics employers to watch in 2026, spanning innovative startups, high‑growth scale‑ups, and established global technology leaders with strong UK presence.

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.
