Architect and develop the mechatronics software stack for intelligent warehouse robots. Build real-time, high-performance C++ applications interfacing with hardware devices, sensors, peripherals, and motor controls. Responsibilities include requirements analysis, debugging production systems, code review, mentoring, testing, performance optimization, evaluating technologies, and documenting best practices. The role requires expertise in distributed and real-time systems, industrial communication protocols, Linux, software toolchains, and production-quality robotics software.
As a hands-on Staff Robotics Software Engineer you will be responsible for the architecture of the Dexterity Mechatronics Software stack. This means you will choose, validate, and build the SW interface for all hardware devices. You will work with a talented team of software engineers to implement mechatronics software to meet the quality, performance, observability and real-time characteristics required by our intelligent warehouse robotics applications. The role requires advanced knowledge of mechatronics devices, distributed systems, real-time systems, performance optimization and test strategies. The ideal candidate will have developed and supported real-time applications in C++ that have been in production for multiple years. Strong knowledge of the entire software toolchain is essential.
We are very interested in candidates that have previously worked at a startup or other fast-paced environment on technically challenging projects. Other duties involve analyzing requirements, reviewing code, mentoring other developers and communicating best practices via documents. The role also empowers you to evaluate new technologies and recommend new tools/components to improve our solutions.
In order to thrive in this role you will have significant experience with developing, debugging and improving production systems. Strong communication and problem-solving skills are essential to the role.
