Our client is a warehouse robotics and data company.
Connectivity Engineer
Location: Wallingford - Oxfordshire (Hybrid) - (1–3 days a week on site)
Permanent
We're recruiting for a connectivity engineer to help keep our global robot fleet online. Our robots connect back to us over cellular, Wi-Fi, and mesh VPN often as guests on customer networks we don't control.
This is not an enterprise networking role. The work is closer to software and customer support than to running switches or a campus network. You will work with every level of the business from customers to the people deploying robots on the ground.
Offices are based in Wallingford near Oxford, and this role is hybrid (1–3 days a week on site), so we're looking for candidates within commuting distance.
We're open to candidates from a range of backgrounds. You'll likely have spent time supporting or operating networked systems, perhaps at a telco or mobile operator, an ISP or managed service provider, in IT support or IoT, or at another robotics company. What matters is solid fundamentals, a passion to solve problems and some coding ability. A home lab, self-hosted services, amateur radio, CTFs, or write-ups of problems you've solved all count in your favour.
This role will require a high level of flexibility around needs of customers.
Please apply for more information.
