Robotics Software Engineer

Rosenxt is revolutionizing subsea robotics and autonomous systems, and we're building a world-class engineering team at our newly established Bristol location to drive this innovation forward. Tackle engineering challenges at all levels of a robotics software stack. Also known as: Robotics Software Engineer, Robotics System Engineer, Robotics Software DeveloperIn this role, you'll work on cutting-edge technology that makes a real-world impact - from developing our visual inspection platform to creating autonomous systems that operate in some of the world's most challenging environments. You'll have the opportunity to see your work in action through field trials and real-world deployments, all while working in a collaborative, hybrid environment in central Bristol.This role focuses on the development of autonomous systems to address real-world challenges in maritime robotics. Responsibilities include designing, implementing, and testing perception, navigation, planning, exploration, and control systems for robotic systems operating in complex environments. The ideal candidate will have experience in delivering production-level autonomy solutions, working across the entire robotics systems development lifecycle, from design, integration, and testing to deployment and real-world trials.If you're passionate about robotics, love solving complex technical challenges, and want to mentor others while growing your own expertise, this role offers the perfect blend of technical depth and meaningful impact.Essential skills that you bring:Proficiency in ROS2 and Linux/Ubuntu environments, with integration and deployment experience.Experience with tools such as OpenCV, PCL, Eigen, Numpy, and DockerStrong communication skills and ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams.Experience with field trials and testing robotic systems in real-world conditions.Desirable skills that you have: Experience in developing and deploying ML-based solutions in relevant robotics domains such as perception, control and decision making.Experience with robotics simulation tools such as Gazebo, NVidia Isaac or PyBullet.Experience working in the maritime industry.Ability to mentor junior engineers and contribute to team development.Experience in deploying robotics systems in remote or offshore environments. Rosenxt is a forward-thinking technology group — we are visionary architects of progress with decades of engineering excellence.As a privately owned global partner, we look far beyond tomorrow: being committed long-term, we turn opportunities into successful ventures.Tech enthusiasts through and through, we dive deep into the latest technologies. Our expertise in various technology fields allows us to develop high-tech solutions for customers in the most challenging environments, including subsea, industrial, renewables, and the integrity of the water and energy supply.Our purpose goes beyond pure business: it is about creating progress and sustainable value – for our customers, for our partners and for society at large.

How Many Robotics Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Robotics Job?

If you’re pursuing a career in robotics, it can feel like the list of tools you should learn never ends. One job advert asks for ROS, another mentions Gazebo, another wants experience with Python, Linux, C++, RobotStudio, MATLAB/Simulink, perception stacks, control frameworks, real-time OS, vision libraries — and that’s just scratching the surface. With so many frameworks, languages and platforms, it’s no wonder robotics job seekers feel overwhelmed. But here’s the honest truth most recruiters won’t say explicitly: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can apply the right tools to solve real robotics problems reliably and explain your reasoning clearly. Tools matter — but only in service of outcomes. So the real question isn’t how many tools you should know, but which tools you should master and why. For most robotics roles, the answer is significantly fewer — and far more focused — than you might assume. This article breaks down what employers really expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable, confident, and ready to contribute from day one.

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.
