Robotics Engineer Needed for Autonomous Delivery Robot Development
We’re building a rugged, sidewalk-capable last-mile delivery robot for real-world testing in the UK. This is NOT a toy project — we need a mechanically solid, reliable prototype that can handle real pavements, curbs, uneven surfaces, light rain, and daily commercial use. If you have real experience with mobile robots, ground vehicles, AGVs, warehouse robots, or off-road RC platforms, this project will suit you. Who You Are You think in systems, not one-off hacks You can work fast but with engineering discipline You can build something rugged, not fragile You’ve shipped real robots, not only simulations You can communicate clearly and challenge assumptions If you’re going to experiment endlessly, this project isn’t for you. If you can build a working robot quickly, we want you. Project Timeline Prototype required within 8–12 weeks Ongoing future collaboration possible (Gen2, autonomy, scaling) Required Experience You must have proven experience in: ✔ Ground robots / AGVs / UGVs ✔ 4–6 wheel robotic platforms ✔ Motor selection + drivetrain design ✔ Suspension/rocker-bogie systems ✔ ROS or low-level embedded development ✔ Remote teleoperation systems ✔ Sensor integration ✔ Lithium battery integration and safety ✔ Designing robots for real outdoor environments Apply tot his job
