About the Role

Please note: we are not accepting applications from candidates outside of the UK.

We are recruiting Software Engineers to join a growing team, working with a wide array of technologies and tools to solve engineering challenges in robotics and industrial automation.

This role is diverse - from simple automated machines to complex, multi-robot systems integrating technologies such as cameras, lasers, waterjet cutters, and more. You'll develop software across multiple domains:

Backend (C# .NET): data collection & processing, hardware/software integration, mathematical modelling. HMIs: using Blazor, WPF, HTML/CSS, or Siemens WinCC. PLC controls: IEC (phone number removed) languages, motion control, and fieldbus networks. Real-time C++ motion control for synchronising axes. Robotics programming: proprietary languages (KRL, TP, KAREL, G-Code).This is a varied, fast-paced role where no two projects are the same. If you're passionate about robotics, automation, and problem-solving, this could be the perfect fit.

Some travel may be required to customer sites.
