Senior Software Engineer - Robotics

About us

Dyson is a global technology enterprise. We solve the problems others choose to ignore, with surprising new inventions that defy convention and simply work better. We’ve been developing robot technology for over 20 years – 200 engineers, 420 patents and £28M of investments – but this is just the start of the domestic robotics revolution.

Within Upstream Robotics, Research is investigating state-of-the-art methods to solve concrete real-world problems and pave the way for Dyson’s future autonomous products. At the same time, New Product Innovation is developing Dyson’s next-generation robotic products that leverage the latest technologies.

Our world-class robotics team is highly multi-disciplinary, covering topics including Robot Perception, Reinforcement and Imitation Learning, Planning and Control, Task Intelligence, Software Architecture, Mechatronics and Platform Design within a friendly and multi-cultural work environment.

About the role

As a member of Upstream Robotics’ Software & DevOps team, you’ll design, implement, maintain and extend components of our software platform, support its users, integrate new functionality and take on the occasional proof-of-concept or exploration task. You’ll be collaborating closely with immediate team members, Upstream domain experts and Downstream colleagues. This is an opportunity to play a key role in continuously improving the architecture, practices and tooling with the goal of accelerating research and development, closing the gap to production and shortening time-to-market.

Responsibilities:

• Design, implement, test, maintain and evolve functional components and tools of our software platform

• Integrate third-party components and implement new system behaviours

• Port select research prototypes in Python or C++ to modern, robust C++ implementations

• Help manage the entire high-level software stack, including the operating system, device drivers and user interfaces

• Participate in the design of a distributed system software architecture that is scalable and deployable

• Meticulously document and communicate software requirements, design and implementation

• Drive a culture of software quality and collaboration that can progressively become the norm across the group

About you

Required:

• Degree in Engineering or equivalent industry experience.

• 3+ years of experience with robotics, actuated systems, real-time or simulated physical systems.

• Strong programming skills in modern C++ (object-oriented & functional).

• Proficiency in a scripting language (e.g., Python, Bash).

• Hands-on experience with Linux systems and toolchains.

• Familiarity with development best practices: version control, unit testing, and CI/CD.

Preferred:

• Professional software development experience in production environments.

• Expertise in debugging, testing, and profiling complex software systems.

• Experience with parallel programming and performance optimization.

• Familiarity with frameworks like ONNXRuntime, TensorRT, CVflow, RKNN, or NPU-based deployments.

• Experience optimizing machine learning models for specific hardware.

• Hands-on experience building robust real-world robots or autonomous systems.

• Knowledge of ROS 2, DDS-based middleware, and messaging frameworks.

• Experience with simulation tools (e.g., Unity, Isaac Sim) and cloud-based simulations.

• Familiarity with Yocto/BitBake build systems.

Benefits

Dyson Singapore monitors the market to ensure competitive salaries and bonuses. Beyond that, you’ll enjoy a transport allowance and comprehensive medical care and insurance. But financial benefits are just the start of a Dyson career. Professional growth, leadership development and new opportunities abound, driven by regular reviews and dynamic workshops. And with a vibrant culture, the latest devices and a relaxed dress code reflecting our engineering spirit, it’s an exciting team environment geared to fueling and realising ambition.
