Are you ready to develop cutting-edge software that changes how defence technology operates on the battlefield? We are working with a key Defence client who are a global leader in combat engineering systems, and they are seeking a Software Engineer to join their forward-thinking Research & Development Team.
From remote-controlled mine clearance systems to next-gen vehicle automation, the R&D team is pioneering the future of robotics and autonomous systems (RAS). They are not just writing code, they are solving real-world challenges with practical, tested solutions alongside key partners and military clients around the globe.
What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Design, develop, and deploy real-time software for autonomous military systems.
  • Build tools and applications for image processing, sensor integration, and machine learning.
  • Test and trial your solutions in hands-on environments, sometimes on the other side of the world!
  • Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams to shape the full engineering lifecycle.
  • Stay ahead of the curve with emerging technologies in robotics and AI.
    What You’ll Bring:
  • Degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, Maths, or related.
  • Strong coding skills in C/C++ or Python and experience with Linux systems.
  • Background in robotics, automation, and machine control systems.
  • Experience with ROS/ROS2, OpenCV, and a passion for ML and data analysis.
  • Basic electronics knowledge and the ability to interpret schematics.
    Why work for us?
  • Be at the heart of military innovation in an agile, high-impact team.
  • Work internationally with military clients and robotics leaders.
  • Flexible working & reduced Friday hours.
  • Supportive, collaborative culture with a focus on learning and growth.
  • Opportunity to influence the next generation of RAS technology.
    Ready to make an impact where it matters most?
    Apply now and become part of a team that’s redefining the battlefield…one line of code at a time

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

Where to advertise robotics jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, university channels and community routes that reach robotics, SLAM and controls talent. 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.
