Software Developer Roles

We’re hiring ROS developers – see below for details!

Job description
The role of software engineers at the Shadow Robot Company is to advance robotic systems, by implementing new solutions and algorithms, in order to realize complex tasks with complex robots. Think about all the knowledge and skills a human requires to lift a simple glass of water, and try to imagine how you’d implement that with a highly sophisticated robotic system.

Should you join our team your job would center on solving real world problems using robotics. We work on highly challenging and simulating problems to deliver new solutions using advanced robotic systems. The job is quite versatile, ranging from driver development, to more high level cognition. Being part of a team of highly skilled individuals, we always strive to make you work on what you’re best at.

Overall your goal will be making our robotic systems more reliable and easier to use for our customers.

Company
We’re a small central London based company formed in 1987 with a well established reputation for developing top end robotic systems. Our core product is our robotic Hand, but we’re also involved in a list of Robotics based projects for research, agriculture, space, medical, consumer, and other applications.

We’re a close knit team, all passionate about robotics and will be happy to share our knowledge in different domains, ranging from electronics to manufacturing.

Shadow’s mission is to use robotics technology to solve real-world problems.

Skills:

Must have:

• highly proficient in C++ or python
• good knowledge of programming under Linux

Nice to have:

• previous experience or keen interest in robotics
• previous experience using ROS (www.ros.org)

Experience:

• minimum 2 years programming experience.

To apply, please email sw-job-2016@shadowrobot.com with your CV and a covering letter telling us what you’ve done that will interest us.

Agencies – we reserve the right to charge you for sending us CVs, which we will ignore anyway.
