We are partnered with a robotics business in the Cambridge area who are developing next-generation autonomous platforms. They are looking for a Perception Software Engineer - SLAM to design and implement software that enables advanced robotic perception and navigation in real-world agricultural environments.
In this Perception Software Engineer - SLAM role, you will:
Design, develop, and test software for autonomous robotics applications, specifically for raspberry-picking robots
Develop ROS2 image pipelines and integrate vision systems
Implement SLAM, mapping, and landmark recognition to navigate complex bush and field environments
Collaborate with electrical, electronics, and software teams to develop world-class systems
Work on motor control loops to ensure accurate robot motion
Interface with cameras using CUDA for high-performance vision processing
Support improvements across robot navigation and environmental interaction
The ideal Perception Software Engineer - SLAM will have:
Strong C++ experience, ideally with a focus on vision systems and image processing
Experience working in Linux or similar development environments
Exposure to SLAM, mapping, and autonomous navigation techniques
Familiarity with ROS2 pipelines, motor control loops, or robotics platforms
CUDA experience is desirable but not essential
This is a fantastic opportunity to join an innovative team building real-world robotic systems. The role offers a competitive salary, flexible working, a collaborative and creative environment, and the chance to participate in profit sharing as the company grows
