RoBAT Ltd. is a subsidiary of Mycronic, a global technology leader with a market valuation of approximately £3 billion.

Based at our headquarters in Macclesfield, Cheshire, we have a talented, multi-disciplined, dynamic team designing and manufacturing high-value robotic machines for testing PCBs (printed circuit boards).

By joining RoBAT Ltd. you are part of any organization that is a growing and innovative company where your contributions will truly make a difference. You will have the ability to work in a hands-on role that offers a variety of challenges with a friendly and supportive team with a shared commitment to quality and excellence.

The majority of our sales are to China and the USA, where we operate our own small factories and employ local teams to provide high-quality customer support. RoBAT Ltd. is firmly established as the leading company in this very specialised and niche marketplace.

This is a role for an experienced software developer who is ‘hands on’. This role offers the opportunity to have a varied workload along with the opportunity for speedy job progression.

Key Responsibilities

* Hardware/Software integration

* Motion control and sequencing

* Rapid prototyping

You will have a well-developed common sense and creative vision, to be capable of both working in a team and autonomously lead independent development projects.

This opportunity fundamentally revolves around controlling the hardware in our backplane test machines such that they carry out the task/functions our customers demand and so it is essential to have an interest in understanding hardware operations.

Please note: Occasional world-wide travel may be necessary due to the majority of our customers being based overseas.

Experience and Qualifications

* To fulfil this practical and 'hands on' role, you should be qualified to degree level in Computer Science or Software Engineering or related discipline.

* Experience with C/C++

* Experience with .NET

* Experience with Python

Take part in the excitement of working with innovative people and global businesses who are elevating today’s standards in modern electronics.

Share in the responsibility of bringing great ideas to life within an inclusive culture that not only promotes personal growth and embraces diversity but depends upon it.

Here you are expected to have a voice and will be encouraged to get involved. It’s this very mindset that empowers our people to make a positive difference for a broad range of businesses, society and the planet – every day.

Mycronic is committed to workplace diversity and inclusion. We prohibit discrimination and harassment of any kind based on race, color, sex, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, genetic information, pregnancy, or any other protected characteristic as outlined by national laws.

For a company founded on passion, collaboration and outside-the-box thinking, there is no greater asset than a diverse workforce.

It is the cornerstone of our global, internal culture, and we actively promote an inclusive and healthy work environment by embracing diversity and showing compassion for our colleagues.

Not only does it fuel our innovation capabilities, but it also deepens our understanding of our customers as well as the different cultures in which we operate.

We believe quite simply that diversity is our competitive edge.

Where to Advertise AI Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise AI jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and communities that reach AI engineers, ML scientists and applied research talent in the UK. The candidate pool is small, highly informed and in demand across multiple sectors simultaneously. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that AI professionals expect — and the filtering mechanisms they rely on. Specialist platforms, direct outreach and academic channels each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise AI roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about time-to-hire across different role types.

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

AI Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the generative AI, machine learning and applied AI hiring trends shaping UK artificial intelligence careers. Artificial intelligence is creating jobs faster than the market can name them. New roles are appearing every quarter, existing titles are splitting into specialisms, and the technologies underpinning it all are evolving at a pace that makes even last year's job descriptions feel dated. For job seekers, this presents a genuinely unusual challenge. In most industries, career planning means understanding a relatively stable landscape and working out where you fit within it. In AI, the landscape itself is being redrawn in real time. The roles with the most hiring activity in 2028 may not yet have a widely agreed job title in 2026. That's not a reason to feel overwhelmed — it's a reason to get informed. The candidates who thrive in this market aren't necessarily those with the longest CVs or the most credentials. They're the ones who understand the direction of travel: which skills are gaining value, which technologies are driving employer decisions, and how the definition of an "AI job" is expanding well beyond the tech sector. This article breaks down what the UK AI jobs market is likely to look like over the next three years — covering emerging job titles, the technologies reshaping hiring, the skills employers are prioritising, and how to position yourself ahead of the curve rather than behind it.
