Work on software used for autonomous robots for real-world applications
Royston, Herts; £Graduate + Benefits
Based near Royston, this engineering company develops mobile, autonomous robotic systems. Their products are being used in the field by their customers, delivering real-world solutions. As they expand, they are looking to hire a graduate / junior engineer to join their software team. The team are nimble, and so hires need to be adaptable and have the aptitude to pick things up quickly. Whilst the role would be mentored, it would suit someone who has the get-up-and-go attitude for independent work – looking to over-deliver on any tasks they are given.
Requirements:

  • Strong academic background which should include a 1st / high 2.1 degree in Computer Science, Electronics or similar from a top ranked university, as well as A* / A grades in Maths and Physics at A-level (7 / 6 at IB) [provide full details within your CV].
  • Demonstrable work experience (internships, placement year) or substantial hobby projects in software development, ideally for an electronics-based technology [this should be described within your application].
  • Keen interest in robotics including performance, machine learning or computer vision.
  • Evidence of software competence and aptitude through projects using different programming languages including C#, Python or writing firmware [describe your projects].
  • Good communication skills and keenness to learn and develop new skills.
    Due to the nature of projects, it is expected you would mostly be onsite. Only applicants with unrestricted rights to work in the UK will be considered.

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.
