  • Birmingham – 3 days onsite
  • 3 month contract (initially)
  • Start date: ASAP

We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our client’s team in Birmingham on a seriously exciting Autonomous Guided Vehicle (AGV) project. Imagine multiple AGV’s all running in sync, in real-time. This is a huge engineering challenge and plenty of fun.

You’ll mainly work in Rust, but strong C++ developers with a Computer Science background and the drive to get into Rust are very welcome. Experience with industrial systems or PLCs is a big plus.

What you’ll be doing

  • Building support tooling to control the AGVs
  • Developing diagnostics and feedback systems for the full AGV fleet

What you’ll need

  • Strong Rust or C++ (happy to learn Rust if new to it)
  • Solid problem-solving skills
  • Computer Science background
  • Linux experience (nice to have)
  • Industrial/PLC knowledge (desirable)

This is a chance to make a real impact in an SME environment, working in a supportive team on cutting-edge engineering problems.
