Rosenxt is revolutionizing subsea robotics and autonomous systems, and we're building a world-class engineering team at our newly established Bristol location to drive this innovation forward.
To build our engineering team we are recruiting for top-tier talent that is keen to:
Build robust software that runs on real robots to tackle real-world applications.
Take advances in robotics and actively apply them to the sub-sea domain.
Tackle engineering challenges at all levels of a robotics software stack.
Robotics Software Engineer
Also known as: Robotics Software Engineer, Robotics System Engineer, Robotics Software Developer
In this role, you'll work on cutting-edge technology that makes a real-world impact - from developing our visual inspection platform to creating autonomous systems that operate in some of the world's most challenging environments. You'll have the opportunity to see your work in action through field trials and real-world deployments, all while working in a collaborative, hybrid environment in central Bristol.
This role focuses on the development of autonomous systems to address real-world challenges in maritime robotics. Responsibilities include designing, implementing, and testing perception, navigation, planning, exploration, and control systems for robotic systems operating in complex environments. The ideal candidate will have experience in delivering production-level autonomy solutions, working across the entire robotics systems development lifecycle, from design, integration, and testing to deployment and real-world trials.
You will help deliver high-quality solutions through peer reviews, continuous improvement, and effective use of continuous integration pipelines. Leveraging your understanding of cutting-edge research, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams in Robotics, Software Engineering, and Machine Learning to translate novel ideas into tangible products.
If you're passionate about robotics, love solving complex technical challenges, and want to mentor others while growing your own expertise, this role offers the perfect blend of technical depth and meaningful impact.
What You Can Expect
- Design and implement navigation, planning, exploration, and control systems for robotic vehicles that inspect underwater structures.
- Participate in field trials, testing systems in real-world conditions.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration of robotic systems.
- Opportunity to make contributions across the entire software stack from sensor/motor drivers, navigation & localisation, perception through to autonomous decision making.
- Decompose complex robotics challenges into clear, well-defined and manageable components that can be effectively implemented in software.
- Lead the development and optimization of high-quality software solutions using modern C++ and Python using the ROS2 framework.
- Drive software quality development practices through continuous integration, code reviews, and unit testing.
- Work as part of a dynamic team using Agile methodologies (e.g, Scrum, Kanban).
- Contribute to the ongoing improvement of software development culture, processes and practices.
What You Bring
You’ll thrive at Rosenxt if you are creative, self-reliant and collaborative and want to help the team do its best work.
