Head of Robotics | Defence & Autonomous Systems
Full-time
About the Role
I’m working with an innovative, mission-driven organisation operating at the forefront of defence technology and autonomous systems.
They are looking for a Head of Robotics to define and lead their robotics strategy across next-generation platforms — spanning autonomy, AI, and advanced robotic systems deployed in high-stakes environments.
This is a rare opportunity to shape technology that directly impacts national security, resilience, and the future of defence capabilities.
What You’ll Do
Lead the vision, strategy, and execution of robotics programmes across R&D and deployment
Drive development of autonomous and semi-autonomous systems for complex, real-world environments
Work closely with cross-functional teams (AI, software, hardware, product) to deliver mission-critical solutions
Shape the long‑term robotics roadmap in line with evolving defence needs and emerging threats
Stay ahead of advancements in robotics, autonomy, and defence tech ecosystems
Build and scale a high‑performing, multidisciplinary team
Act as a key voice for robotics internally and with external stakeholders (partners, government, defence organisations)
What They’re Looking For
Experience leading or contributing to robotics or autonomous systems programmes (defence, aerospace, or similar high‑reliability environments is a plus)
Strong understanding of robotics, AI, perception, control systems, or mechatronics
Ability to operate at both strategic and hands‑on levels
Comfortable working in complex, fast‑moving, and sometimes ambiguous environments
Strong leadership and communication skills across technical and non‑technical stakeholders
Experience working with or alongside government, defence, or regulated environments is advantageous
Why This Role?
Work on cutting‑edge defence and autonomy challenges with real‑world impact
Influence the direction of next‑generation robotic systems
Flexible working with strong backing and long‑term vision
Competitive salary + potential equity
If you’re passionate about robotics, autonomy, and building technology that matters in critical environments, I’d love to speak.
