Robotics Engineer

Job Title: Lead Robotics Engineer The Role: This is a hands-on technical leadership position focused on core robotics software development and system-level delivery. You will take ownership of the primary ROS 2 software stack, guiding a multidisciplinary engineering team across robotics, simulation, and integration. The role balances direct code contribution, architecture reviews, and sprint delivery with practical testing directly on heavy automated machinery. Key Responsibilities:

• Architect and evolve the ROS 2 and behaviour-tree control systems coordinating industrial manipulators, custom tooling, vision, and sensors.
• Translate high-level operational targets into clear engineering roadmaps, managing technical dependencies, capacity, and milestones.
• Actively contribute to production codebases, conduct rigorous code reviews, and unblock engineers to maintain high development velocity.
• Solve real-world hardware integration challenges to ensure equipment operates reliably when handling variable raw materials in field conditions.
• Mentor engineers across the team and help steer future technical hiring as the engineering function grows. Key Requirements:
• Strong track record building and deploying production-grade robotics software on real physical hardware.
• Deep expertise in ROS 2 architecture and distributed software design for complex machinery.
• High proficiency in modern C++ and Python.
• Experience taking systems from greenfield development through to full commissioning and operational deployment.
• Practical understanding of the wider automation stack, including PLCs, industrial robot arms, actuators, and sensor interfaces.
• Proven technical leadership capability with sound judgement on balancing architectural purity against delivery timelines. Please share your CV with me if you are interested :)
