Continuous Integration in Robotics

By on 15th January 2025

Are you passionate about bringing modern software engineering practices to robotics development? Join us at the Lincoln Centre for Autonomous Systems (L-CAS) to work on an innovative project that bridges the gap between cutting-edge DevOps practices and robotics software development.

In this project, you will develop and implement robust continuous integration pipelines for robotics software, ensuring reliable and reproducible deployments of complex robotic systems. The core focus is on establishing best practices for automated testing, deployment, and validation of robotics software components using modern GitOps approaches.

Your work will contribute to making robotics software development more reliable and maintainable through automated workflows and containerisation. You’ll be working with state-of-the-art CI/CD tools and robotics frameworks, implementing modern software engineering practices in the robotics domain.

Required Skills

  • Strong background in software engineering and continuous integration
  • Experience with GitHub Actions and GitOps workflows
  • Knowledge of containerisation technologies
  • Excellent documentation and communication abilities
  • Enthusiasm for learning and problem-solving

Desirable Skills

  • Experience with ROS2 and robotics software development
  • Proficiency with Linux systems and Docker
  • Understanding of automated testing frameworks

What We Offer

  • Hands-on experience with modern software engineering practices in robotics
  • Opportunity to develop expertise in DevOps for robotics applications
  • Integration into the dynamic L-CAS research team
  • Access to state-of-the-art robotics facilities

This position is suitable for interns or students pursuing a programme of study in robotics and AI at the University of Lincoln. You’ll be part of a forward-thinking team working at the intersection of software engineering and autonomous systems.
