Robotics Design Engineer

We are seeking a full-time Robotics Design Engineer to join our team at Oxford Robotics Institute (ORI), an independent institute within the Dept of Engineering Science in central Oxford. This is a technical role in support of existing research activities as led by our academics. The post is fixed-term to May 30th, 2027 in the first instance.
A recent winner of The Queen's Anniversary Prize for innovation in autonomous robotic technologies, the ORI is a diverse and collaborative community composed of researchers, engineers, and students all united in our drive to transform what robots can do for us. Our current interests are diverse - from flying to grasping, from inspection to running, from haptics to driving, from exploring to planning. We are the only group in the UK that specialises in large-scale mobile autonomy - both indoors and outdoors. We validate our thinking and challenge ourselves by deploying robotic systems in real application environments.
As the successful candidate, you will have professional experience developing complex electro-mechanical hardware and systems integration to create working prototypes. You may be comfortable working with software such as Linux, ROS, Python etc. You will be part of a diverse team who are responsible for designing, building, programming, testing, and maintaining a large fleet of robots and systems.
