Your Impact as our New Robotics Software Engineer:
You’ll be a key member of our London-based software development team of three alongside our two remote-based engineers.
You’ll work on stimulating problems to deliver new solutions using advanced robotic systems, mostly developing software for our dexterous hand products and teleoperation systems.
Alongside the challenging tasks, there will be tasks that include manual and automated testing, fixing bugs, creating and improving documentation, and supporting our Roadmap for further innovation.
Our team of developers is distributed, so we’d love you to work well and communicate effectively with your team.
This role is wholly based in the London office (a 2-minute walk from Gospel Oak station), so you can access the hardware and help us develop and test the solutions.
To be successful in this role, we’d love to hear from you if you have the following experience and personality:
You will have a very keen interest in robotics and, ideally, have experience developing code for robots either professionally or for your own projects.
Software engineering experience in a commercial environment.
Strong C++ programming skills (must have).
Good Python coding skills.
Ideally, experience (even non-professional) with embedded programming.
A positive outlook on solutions – you love solving problems.
Good knowledge of programming under Linux.
You will also have experience using ROS.
You love learning and thrive in an environment where learning is encouraged.
You’ll thrive as a member of our small 25-person team across the UK and Spain.
There is no arrogance, and you love that this is a team-orientated organisation – if one person succeeds, we all succeed.
