  • Design, develop, and maintain robotics software using ROS2
  • Implement sensor fusion algorithms using LiDAR, IMU, and other onboard sensors.
  • Develop path planning and path tracking algorithms.
  • Optimise and test robotics applications on NVIDIA Jetson boards
  • Intrinsic and extrinsic calibration of sensors, cameras, IMUs, and other perception hardware
  • Develop and maintain LiDAR processing pipelines, including filtering, segmentation, obstacle detection, point cloud processing
  • Implement forward and inverse kinematics for robotic platforms and manipulators
  • Debug embedded communication interfaces including UART, Serial, I2C, SPI, CAN
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to bring robotic systems from prototype to production
  • Test, debug, and validate robotics software in simulation and on real hardware
  • Document system architecture, calibration procedures, test results, and deployment workflows
About You:
  • Degree qualified in Robotics, Computer Scient, Electrical / Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field
  • Experienced in programming in C++ and/or Python
  • Strong background with ROS2
  • Hands-on experience with LiDAR and IMU sensor fusion
  • Understanding of path planning and motion control
  • Experience with NVIDIA Jetson platforms

Where to Advertise Edge Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise edge computing jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and channels that reach embedded, IoT, 5G MEC and edge AI engineering talent. Edge computing sits at the intersection of embedded systems, networking, cloud infrastructure and real-time data processing — and the professionals who specialise in it are a small, highly technical community not well served by general job boards. Candidates with genuine edge and IoT expertise are rarely browsing general platforms, and roles in this space are frequently misunderstood or miscategorised by non-specialist recruiters. This guide, published by EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise edge computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Edge Computing Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Edge Computing Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the IoT, 5G and edge AI hiring trends shaping UK edge computing careers over the next three years. Edge computing is quietly becoming one of the most consequential technology shifts of the decade — and the jobs market is starting to reflect that. As the limitations of centralised cloud infrastructure become apparent across industries that require real-time processing, ultra-low latency, and data sovereignty, the demand for professionals who can design, build, and manage computing at the edge has moved from niche to mainstream. But the edge computing jobs market of 2026 is not yet the mature, well-defined landscape that cloud computing has become. It is still forming. New architectures are emerging, standards are being established, and the range of industries deploying edge infrastructure is expanding rapidly — from manufacturing and telecommunications to healthcare, retail, autonomous vehicles, and smart cities. That creates a particular kind of opportunity for job seekers: the chance to build deep expertise in a discipline that is growing faster than the talent pipeline serving it. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where edge computing is heading — which use cases are driving commercial deployment, which technologies are defining the architecture of distributed systems, and how the skills required to work at the edge differ meaningfully from those that served professionals well in centralised cloud environments. This article breaks down what the UK edge computing jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
