Senior Robotics Control Engineer

Senior Robotics Control Engineer

Robotics | Advanced Motion Algorithms | Real-Time Control Systems

If complex motion control problems are what energise you, this is the kind of role that gives you room to build something exceptional.

This Senior Robotics Control Engineer role is for engineers who want to work at the sharp end of industrial robotics — developing the algorithms, architectures and control strategies that drive next-generation robotic systems.

You’ll be joining a deeply technical engineering environment where robotics is not just implemented — it is designed, refined and pushed forward.

If you enjoy solving challenging mathematical problems, developing advanced control systems and seeing your work deployed into real-world industrial applications, this is the kind of opportunity that doesn’t come around often.

What You’ll Be Driving

As a Senior Robotics Control Engineer, you’ll take ownership of critical robotics and motion control development projects and help shape the future direction of advanced control platforms.

Your day-to-day will include:

• Leading the development roadmap for advanced robotics and motion control systems
• Designing and developing next-generation robotic control solutions
• Developing and refining kinematic and dynamic algorithms
• Working on path planning, trajectory generation and optimisation algorithms
• Driving research into new control methodologies and mathematical approaches
• Designing, implementing and validating advanced motion control functionality
• Working directly with application teams to ensure solutions perform in real-world customer environments
• Supporting system architecture decisions across software, control and hardware platforms
• Collaborating across multidisciplinary engineering teams to deliver complete robotic solutions
• Helping shape future product capabilities through technical innovation and research

This is a role where your ideas can directly influence the future of advanced industrial motion control.

The Kind of Senior Robotics Control Engineer Who Thrives Here

You’re someone who enjoys getting to the heart of difficult control problems.

As a Senior Robotics Control Engineer, you combine mathematical depth with practical engineering instinct. You can take complex theoretical concepts and turn them into robust, real-world solutions.

You’re naturally curious, analytical and comfortable taking technical ownership. You enjoy exploring better ways of solving motion challenges and working closely with engineers, developers and customers to deliver systems that perform under real-world demands.

You’re equally comfortable discussing mathematical models, debugging control behaviour or helping shape product direction.

What You’ll Bring

• Degree, Master’s or PhD in Robotics, Mechatronics, Mathematics or a closely related discipline
• Strong commercial experience in robotics and motion control development
• Deep understanding of industrial motion control principles
• Strong knowledge of robot kinematics and dynamics
• Experience developing advanced control algorithms
• Strong mathematical modelling capability
• Ability to design and implement robust control strategies for complex motion systems
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across technical teams

Highly Desirable Experience

Experience in any of the following would be highly beneficial:

• MATLAB / Simulink
• Algorithm development for advanced robotics applications
• Programming in C, Python or other high-level technical languages
• Industrial robot programming environments
• Real-time control systems
• Servo and stepper motor control
• Machine control systems
• Automation hardware integration
• Interfacing with sensors, actuators and electrical control systems

Why This Senior Robotics Control Engineer Role Stands Out

This Senior Robotics Control Engineer position offers something many robotics roles don’t — genuine technical depth and influence.

You won’t simply be integrating existing robotics systems. You’ll be helping define how they work, developing the underlying mathematics and shaping future control capabilities.

It’s a chance to work on advanced real-time systems, tackle genuinely challenging engineering problems and contribute directly to cutting-edge robotics innovation.

For engineers who want technical ownership, advanced algorithmic work and the opportunity to influence next-generation robotic platforms, this is an exceptional opportunity.

Environment

You’ll be joining an engineering-led team where technical excellence is genuinely valued.

This is a collaborative, innovation-focused environment where ideas are encouraged, experimentation is supported and engineers are trusted to solve difficult problems.

You’ll work closely with both internal teams and real-world applications, giving you direct visibility of how your work performs in practice. There may also be occasional international travel, offering exposure to global applications and customers.
