Perception Software Engineer – SLAM/C++

Perception Software Engineer – SLAM/C++

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.
