About the Role:

We are seeking a skilled and motivated Software Engineer with a background in AV control systems to join our dynamic team. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience developing and programming automation solutions using Allen-Bradley (Rockwell Automation), Siemens, and Mazak control systems.

This role involves the design, development, implementation, and maintenance of control software for a wide range of audio-visual and industrial automation applications. You will be instrumental in delivering innovative solutions for both in-house projects and client-facing systems.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design, develop, and test control software for AV systems using PLCs and CNC interfaces.

  • Program, configure, and troubleshoot Allen-Bradley, Mazak, and Siemens control systems.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including electrical, mechanical, and AV engineers to integrate systems.

  • Develop HMI/SCADA interfaces and automation workflows tailored to project requirements.

  • Conduct on-site system commissioning, testing, and support as required.

  • Create and maintain technical documentation including wiring diagrams, system architecture, and user manuals.

  • Participate in system upgrades, retrofits, and continuous improvement initiatives.

  • Ensure software solutions meet safety, performance, and quality standards.

    Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.

  • 3+ years of experience in control systems programming, preferably in AV or manufacturing environments.

  • Strong programming skills with PLC platforms (Allen-Bradley/Rockwell RSLogix, Siemens TIA Portal/S7, Mazak Mazatrol).

  • Familiarity with industrial communication protocols (EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus, etc.).

  • Experience with HMI/SCADA systems (FactoryTalk, WinCC, etc.).

  • Understanding of electrical schematics and control panel design is a plus.

  • Ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines.

  • Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

  • Strong communication and teamwork abilities.

    Preferred Skills (Nice to Have):

  • AV system integration experience (Crestron, Extron, Dante, etc.).

  • Experience with CNC systems or robotic automation.

  • Knowledge of scripting or high-level programming languages (Python, C#, etc.).

  • Familiarity with Industry 4.0 and IoT integration.

    What We Offer:

  • Competitive salary and benefits package of 45k

  • Opportunities for professional development and training.

  • A collaborative work environment with cutting-edge technology.

  • Flexible working arrangements (if applicable).

  • Travel opportunities for on-site integration and commissioning

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.

Robotics Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK robotics hiring has shifted from toolbox checklists to capability‑driven evaluation that emphasises deployed systems, safety, reliability and total cost of ownership. Employers want proof you can ship and sustain robots in production—industrial arms & cobots, AMRs/AGVs, field robots, surgical/med‑tech, warehouse automation, inspection & maintenance. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews and how to prepare—especially for robotics software engineers (ROS/ROS 2), perception/vision engineers, controls & motion planners, mechatronics & embedded, safety & compliance, test/V&V, DevOps/SRE for fleets, and robotics product managers. Who this is for: Robotics software/perception/controls engineers, mechatronics & embedded, simulation & test, DevOps/SRE for robotics fleets, HRI/UX, safety/compliance, field/commissioning engineers, and product/technical programme managers in the UK.

Why Robotics Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Robotics used to be the domain of mechanical, electrical and software engineers. In the UK today, robotics is more than motors and control loops — it’s about perception, interaction, trust, regulation and integration into human environments. That evolution means robotics careers are becoming more multidisciplinary. Modern robots interact with people, collect data, operate under constraints, and often assist in safety-critical environments (healthcare, manufacturing, transport). So engineers now collaborate closely with legal, ethical, psychological, linguistic and design experts. In this article, we explore why UK robotics careers are evolving into multidisciplinary roles, how law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design intersect with robotics, and how job-seekers and employers can adapt to this shift.
