Robotics Design Engineer
Applications for this vacancy closed on 5 June 2024 at 12:00PM
We are seeking a full-time Robotics Design Engineer to join our team at Oxford
Robotics Institute (ORI), an independent institute within the Department of
Engineering Science in central Oxford. The post is fixed-term to Jan 31st,
2026 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 a background in developing bespoke
electro-mechanical hardware and 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.
The scope of the role spans the entire concept-to-deployment process. You will
get to work on projects such as developing long term autonomy, quadrupeds
exploring underground tunnels, to navigating in extreme weather using RADAR.
As part of the engineering team, you will have the opportunity to provide
hardware support during field trials; working with on-site teams to oversee
robotic platforms from both a technical and health and safety standpoint. For
more information about the ORI, please see: ori.ox.ac.uk
Informal enquiries may be addressed to Chris Prahacs (email:
chris.prahacs@eng.ox.ac.uk)
The Department holds an Athena Swan Bronze award, highlighting its commitment
to promoting women in Science, Engineering and Technology. For more
information about working at the Department, please see:

Only applications received before midday on 5th June 2024 can be considered.
You will be required to upload a covering letter/supporting statement,
(describing how past experience fit with the advertised position), CV and the
details of two referees as part of your online application.
