The posting

We are seeking an experienced Software Development Engineer specializing in controls and embedded software to join our robotics team developing advanced workcell automation solutions. In this role, you will design, develop, and deploy real-time control systems that orchestrate complex robotic manipulation tasks within automated workcells. You will work at the intersection of embedded systems, motion control, and distributed software architecture to deliver reliable, high-performance automation solutions for production environments.

Key job responsibilities - Design and implement real-time embedded control software for robotic workcells, including motion controllers, trajectory planners, and sensor integration modules that enable precise manipulation and coordination of robotic systems. - Develop software architectures that balance real-time performance constraints with maintainability and extensibility, ensuring control systems can reliably execute complex automation sequences with microsecond-level timing precision. - Own the development of embedded software components within the Workcell Controls Architecture, working closely with other teams to implement primitives and coordinate multi-robot operations. - Partner with hardware teams to define control interfaces, implement device driver, and optimize software performance for industrial automation embedded platforms, and real-time operating systems. - Lead technical design reviews and contribute to architecture decisions that impact the scalability, reliability, and performance of our control systems. - Mentor team members on embedded systems best practices, real-time programming techniques, and controls engineering principles. - Participate in on-call rotations to support production systems and drive root cause analysis for control system issues.

A day in the life Lead technical design reviews and contribute to architecture decisions that impact the scalability, reliability, and performance of our control systems. Mentor team members on embedded systems best practices, real-time programming techniques, and industrial engineering principles.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
