Imagine being the architect of the very tools our robotics engineers use daily.

About our client: Shadow Robot Company

The company is an established, employee-owned, international, and world-leading robotics company with a diverse team of 32 people in London and Madrid. They are currently expanding our team by up to 3-4 new people in the next 1-2 months.

They exist to develop and create awesome robots for advancing dexterity.

Their Company values:

• We care about each other
• We enjoy challenging the impossible

When we help them to add new people to their team, wherever you’re based and whatever role you’re doing, you’ll see that the entire team all live and breathe these core values.

You\’d be joining the existing software and hardware team, where we already have excellent C++ software engineers. However, this role is more focused on string C++ skills (must have), writing CMake files and implementing complex build toolchains.

This is a skillset we\’re missing in our current team and are looking forward to adding to our talented team.

Your primary area of work will mean you will be responsible for:

• Writing software in C, C++, Python
• Implementing complex build toolchains
• Writing complex CMake files (or similar)
• Developing APIs
• Writing plugins for VSCode
• Writing user API documentation
• Writing technical documentation
• Writing unit tests
• Designing and implementing communication protocols

There are our Must Have skills:

• Commercial software engineering experience with C++ and assembly languages (must have).
• Solid CMake experience (must have).
• Implementing complex build toolchains (must have).
• Good knowledge of microprocessor internals (must have).
• Experience with step-by-step code debugging using tools such as GDB (required).
• Very good understanding of C++ toolchains (must have).
• Good understanding of hexadecimal notation and Boolean logic (must have).

We\’d also love to the new Software Engineer to display the following:

• Enthusiasm about robotics (you don\’t need to have had robotics experience to be considered for this role)
• A team attitude
• A closer-finisher attitude – caring of deadlines
• Maturity in your role so you can be autonomous when needed
• A growth mindset and the desire to continually learn

Please note:

The role requires someone with extensive commercial (non-academic) experience in C++, CMake, and build toolchains. Therefore, it is unlikely to be suitable for a recent graduate due to the level of expertise required.

We may have future opportunities for less experienced team members.

If this Software Engineer role sounds like it could be your next career move, apply here, and Helen, our Embedded Talent Partner, will be in touch.
