ABOUT US

Swift Robotics is a UK-based robotics company designing and manufacturing intelligent service robots entirely in the UK. We specialise in modular robotic platforms that integrate advanced navigation, perception, and control technologies for use in healthcare and other public-facing environments.We are looking for a Robotics Engineer to join our team and lead core development on our autonomy stack.

THE ROLE

You will work on enhancing the navigation and autonomy of our mobile robot platforms. This includes migrating our systems from ROS 1 to ROS 2, improving localisation and path planning algorithms, and integrating new sensors. You’ll collaborate closely with other engineers to deliver a robust, high-performing robotic system suited for dynamic, real-world environments.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Lead the migration from ROS 1 to ROS 2
• Develop and optimise navigation, obstacle avoidance, and path planning systems
• Integrate and calibrate sensors
• Test and validate robot behaviour in both simulation and physical environments
• Collaborate with AI, electronics, and software engineers for system-wide integration
• Contribute to system-level testing, debugging, and performance tuning
