We’re working to recruit a User Interface Developer for an exciting software business who have just been awarded 2 large contracts with international Mobile Network Operators. Appointed to help them increase headcount in their Software Development Team, we’re looking for candidates who have experience developing a user dashboard.

This is an amazing opportunity for a specialist UI Developer to work with a growing and ambitious software business who have contracts with some of the world’s leading mobile network companies. They are looking for candidates who can come in at a key point in their growth and develop their career as they grow.

In this UI Developer role you will be responsible for the look and feel of the front end of this reporting software dashboard. This is about presenting the data they collect in the best way and is a role for someone who gets data and will like exploring in order to make decisions on how it is presented in the best way.

Details of the UI Developer role:-

  • The person they’re looking for is experienced in CSS, HTML, JavaScript or other languages that are appropriate to the task of implementing a web browser driven UI over databases.

  • Their Reporting/Dashboard Tool is their clients’ window to the information they compute from millions of small data (messages) received from SIM cards. Messages carry data that indicates the mobile phone user's experience of their service provider (Quality of Experience or QoE). The reporting tool presents Quality of Service (QoS) information.

  • In the past they have used Sencha library functionality over Django to develop dashboards. They can do more of the same using a more current library or possibly Bootstrap or something entirely different. The person accepting this role will have significant say in how they implement UI in the future as well as developing the actual tool to report their data.

  • They are adopting 'Big Data' components and a recent Data Scientist hire is adding Machine Learning to the data we collect. Experience here would be a benefit.

    Requirements for the UI Developer role: -

  • Essential Skills:

    JavaScript (ES6+), HTML, CSS, REST APIs, Jest, ESLint

  • Preferred Skills:

    ReactJS, NodeJS

  • Alternative Frameworks (Optional):

    Other JavaScript UI frameworks/libraries (e.g., Vue, Svelte, etc., in place of React)

  • Bonus Skills (Enhance Suitability):

    Vite, Resium, CesiumJS, AMCharts, Accessibility (A11y)

    Familiarity with Kafka and KSQL is advantageous.

    They work in Agile ways and have daily Scrums each day at 9am. The successful candidate needs to be based in the North-West to access the Warrington office 3 times a week and already have the right to work in the UK. You can expect interesting work, a very supportive organisation and team and many opportunities for on-going technical and personal development.

    This is a live role with a key client. For full details and immediate consideration, please submit an application ASAP

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.
