Are you an experienced Robot Programmer looking to work on exciting automotive projects? We are recruiting skilled professionals to join a growing team, working on cutting-edge Body in White (BIW) robotic systems for major industry clients.

About the Role:

This position focuses on programming and optimizing robotic systems for welding and production lines. From initial programming to customer handover, you’ll play a key role in delivering high-quality solutions. Training in simulation tools such as Process Simulate is provided to enhance your skillset.

Projects are primarily located in the Midlands and North West, with frequent travel between Birmingham and Liverpool. Flexibility is essential, as other UK locations or occasional international travel may be required for future projects. Hotels and expenses are covered, travel time is paid, and overtime is available after 45 hours per week.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Programming, troubleshooting, and maintaining robotic systems onsite.

  • Delivering both online and offline robot programming (training provided for offline programming).

  • Supporting the installation and commissioning of robotic equipment.

  • Collaborating with PLC and electrical teams to meet project goals.

  • Documenting procedures, updates, and modifications.

  • Staying up to date with industry trends and emerging technologies.

    Ideal Candidate Profile:

  • Experience programming ABB robots (experience with other manufacturers also considered).

  • Familiarity with Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) standards is highly desirable.

  • A minimum of 2 years of onsite robot programming experience.

  • Knowledge of offline programming tools such as Process Simulate, RobCad, or Robot Studio is a plus.

  • Strong Microsoft Office skills (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).

  • Excellent time management, organizational, and communication skills.

    What’s on Offer:

  • Competitive salary: £50,000 to £65,000 per year.

  • Paid travel and fully covered expenses for project-related travel.

  • Overtime available after 45 hours per week.

  • Full-time, permanent role with potential for future international projects in Europe and the US.

    This is an exciting opportunity to work on high-profile projects, with excellent potential for career growth. If you’re ready for the challenge, apply now

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.

Neurodiversity in Robotics Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Robotics is where software, hardware & the physical world collide. From warehouse automation & surgical robots to drones, cobots & autonomous vehicles, robots must sense, think & act reliably in messy real environments. To build that kind of technology, you need people who think differently. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too chaotic” for engineering. In reality, many traits that made school or traditional offices hard are exactly what robotics teams need: intense focus on complex systems, pattern-spotting in sensor data, creative problem-solving when hardware misbehaves. This guide is written for neurodivergent job seekers exploring robotics careers in the UK. We’ll cover: What neurodiversity means in a robotics context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to key robotics roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in robotics – & how to turn “different thinking” into a professional superpower.

Robotics Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the UK robotics jobs market is in a strange but interesting place. On one hand, UK manufacturers, logistics firms and warehouses must automate to stay competitive, tackle labour shortages and meet productivity and net-zero targets. On the other hand, the UK still lags badly behind peers in robot adoption, with relatively low robot density in factories compared with other advanced economies – which is both a challenge and a massive opportunity. The National Robotarium +1 Add in AI, computer vision and edge computing, and you get a robotics landscape that is: More selective in hiring. More focused on real operational outcomes. More integrated with software, data and safety standards. Whether you are a robotics job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter building automation and robotics teams, this guide explores the key robotics hiring trends for 2026.
