This is a unique opportunity to work alongside a global leader in the AV domain, at the intersection of media, AI, and edge computing.

The company’s media players are trusted by organizations across a wide range of industries around the world for their flexibility, performance, and reliability. These robust devices support various audio and video formats, render HTML content, and run custom user-developed applications. They have also integrated built-in Neural Processing Units (NPUs), enabling on-device inference for Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence applications.

As the Lead / Senior Software Engineer, you will be joining a rapidly growing team shaping the future of intelligent media solutions and tasked with building a C++ wrapper, enveloping the embedded system, as well as the ML/AI models that will interface with this wrapper.

Key Requirements

7+ years of experience developing software targeting / interfacing with an embedded system / physical product.
Strong proficiency programming in C++ and Python.
Experience programming applications targeting Linux.
Deep understanding of ML inference with experience of both developing and integrating ML Models with embedded systems.
Desired, but not essential:

Technical leadership experience.
Experience within machine vision, text-to-speech or speech-to-text technology.
Experience developing software for products within the AV / media industry

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.

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.
