Software Engineer

Job description

Robotics & Computer Vision Engineer

Location : London

Salary : £50,000 - £80,000 + Equity

About the Role

We are seeking a Robotics Software Engineer to design, develop, and optimize intelligent robotic systems that tightly integrate perception and control. This role focuses on building reliable, real-time software that enables robots to perceive their environment and act on it effectively in real-world scenarios.

You will work across robotic control, perception, and simulation, contributing to systems that move from research and prototyping to deployment on physical robots.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement robotic control software that bridges perception and actuation
• Integrate computer vision and perception systems with robotic control pipelines
• Develop and maintain simulation environments for testing and validation
• Implement and deploy real-time computer vision algorithms for robotic applications
• Optimize system performance for low-latency, real-time operation
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams on end-to-end robotic systems
• Research and prototype new approaches to robotic perception and visual understanding
• Debug, profile, and optimize complex software systems for real-world deployment

Requirements

• Strong programming skills in C++ and Python
• Experience with ROS and real-time robotic systems
• Understanding of robotics fundamentals and control theory
• Strong background in computer vision and image processing
• Experience with OpenCV and PyTorch or TensorFlow
• Experience building or optimizing real-time systems
• Strong debugging and performance optimization skills

Nice to Have

• Experience with robot hardware integration
• Knowledge of motion planning algorithms
• Familiarity with embedded systems
• Experience with ROS2
• Knowledge of 3D vision techniques
• Prior experience applying computer vision in robotics contexts
• Publications in top-tier computer vision or machine learning conferences
