Research Developer (Python & Control Systems) | MSc / PhD Level | Plymouth | £50,000 – £60,000

Smart code. Real-world impact. Deep tech R&D.
This is more than software dev — it’s applied research in action.

A cutting-edge software company in Plymouth is hiring a Research Developer to lead innovative projects at the intersection of Control Systems, Data Science, and Python-based development.

You’ll work on next-gen tech solving complex, real-world problems — across energy, automation, and decision systems.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Designing and developing intelligent algorithms in Python.

*

Applying control theory and data science to real-time systems.

*

Contributing to technical R&D across multiple funded innovation projects.

*

Translating academic models into scalable, maintainable code.

*

Working closely with engineers, data scientists, and research partners.

What You’ll Need:

*

MSc or PhD in Control Systems, Robotics, Data Science, Applied Maths, or similar.

*

Strong Python development skills — this is a coding-heavy role.

*

Solid understanding of applied mathematics, algorithms, and modelling.

*

Interest or experience in real-time systems, control loops, or signal processing.

*

Independent, research-driven mindset — with the ability to code ideas into life.

Nice to Have:

*

Experience in embedded systems, simulation, or AI/ML integration.

*

Familiarity with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) or lab-based prototyping.

Why This Role Stands Out:

*

£50,000 – £60,000 salary depending on experience.

*

R&D-focused role — research meets real-world application.

*

Join a collaborative, low-ego team doing cutting-edge technical work.

*

Plymouth HQ with hybrid/flexible working available

Where to Advertise Robotics Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising robotics jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool spans mechanical engineers, software developers, controls specialists, computer vision researchers and systems integrators — a multidisciplinary mix that general job boards are poorly equipped to reach. The strongest robotics candidates are often embedded in research groups, defence programmes or advanced manufacturing environments, and move between roles through specialist networks and industry events rather than mainstream platforms. This guide, published by RoboticsJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise robotics roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Robotics Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Robotics is having a moment that feels qualitatively different from the cycles of hype and disappointment that have characterised the sector in previous decades. The convergence of advances in AI, computer vision, battery technology, and hardware manufacturing has brought robotics to an inflection point — one where the gap between what robots can do in controlled laboratory conditions and what they can do in the unpredictable complexity of the real world is closing faster than at any previous point in the discipline's history. For job seekers, this inflection point is creating a jobs market that is expanding rapidly across a far wider range of industries and role types than robotics has historically occupied. Automotive and manufacturing remain significant employers, but they are now joined by logistics and warehousing, healthcare, agriculture, construction, defence, and the emerging category of humanoid robotics — each generating distinct hiring demand and drawing on overlapping but meaningfully different skill sets. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which application areas are scaling from pilot to production, which technologies are defining the architecture of modern robotic systems, and how the definition of a robotics career is evolving beyond the mechanical engineering core toward a much richer intersection of software, AI, and systems engineering. This article breaks down what the UK robotics jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career at the leading edge of one of the most exciting technology transitions of the coming decade.
