Lead Robotics Engineer

I’m hiring a Founding / Lead Robotics Engineer to take ownership of the software architecture behind a multi-agent coordination engine for autonomous robotic systems. You’ll be designing the core orchestrator—essentially the system’s brain—that connects symbolic planning, behaviour logic, and real-world execution. This is a senior role with real technical impact, reporting directly into leadership. Location: Cambridge (hybrid 3 days/week) Focus: Multi-agent orchestration, real-time systems, robotics software architecture Why this role matters: You’ll architect the control layer behind a high-performance, field-ready robotics platform Define system-wide APIs, state machines, and communication protocols across planning and perception Join a team solving real-world problems in multi-agent autonomy with a mission-first mindset What you’ll be doing: Own the full software architecture for multi-robot decision-making and coordination Build the system that connects symbolic planning to low-level task execution Lead integration across modules—perception, planning, and control Design robust state machines and communication flows using ROS 2 and DDS Define gRPC and ROS 2 interfaces between all core subsystems Drive simulation-based testing (HITL/SITL) and ensure code is deployment-ready Interested?
