Founding Embedded Software & Robotics Engineer 📍 Alderbury, Wiltshire (Onsite) £ 90,000 + Salary We’re building next-generation autonomous aerial systems and are looking for a Founding Embedded Software & Robotics Engineer to help shape the core intelligence behind our platform. This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives at the intersection of embedded software, robotics, and real-world hardware integration. You’ll work on the systems that enable autonomous sensing, communication, control, and onboard decision-making across a highly integrated VTOL platform. You’ll be joining at an early stage with the opportunity to influence technical direction, architecture, and engineering culture from day one. What You’ll Be Doing • Designing and developing robust embedded software for autonomous robotic systems, • Integrating and debugging sensors, microcontrollers, companion computers, and onboard communications hardware, • Working directly with Linux-based embedded devices using SSH and low-level debugging tools, • Supporting system bring-up, testing, validation, and field integration, • Developing reliable interfaces across protocols such as CAN, I2C, UART, and SPI, • Collaborating closely with a small, fast-moving engineering team to rapidly iterate and solve complex technical challenges, • Contributing across the full development lifecycle — from prototype to deployed hardware What We’re Looking For Essential Experience • Strong embedded software engineering background with experience on real hardware systems, • Experience developing on Linux-based embedded platforms, • Practical systems integration skills across electronics, sensors, compute modules, and communications interfaces, • Familiarity with embedded protocols including CAN, UART, SPI, and I2C, • Confidence debugging issues across hardware and software boundaries, • Ability to work independently in a fast-paced startup environment, • Strong engineering fundamentals and problem-solving mindset Desirable Experience • STM32, Raspberry Pi, Jetson, or similar embedded platforms, • Robotics systems or autonomous vehicle development, • ROS2, OpenCV, or computer vision pipelines, • RF communications systems, • UAV/autopilot systems and flight controller integration, • Electronics or hardware design experience What’s on Offer • Founding-level equity package, • Competitive salary with future growth opportunities, • Significant technical ownership and influence, • Flexible paid time off, • Pension scheme, • Opportunity to help build breakthrough autonomous technology from the ground up If you enjoy solving difficult engineering problems, building real-world systems, and working in a highly ambitious environment, we’d love to hear from you.
