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.
Required Skills:
MS or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related discipline, or equivalent experience
Expert level knowledge with EtherCAT, CAN and CANopen
Experience with motor control, peripherals and sensors and HW in the industrial or automotive domain
Experience with hardware systems, their idiosyncrasies, and interfacing with SW
7+ years of experience using Modern C++ in production
Knowledge of multi-threaded, non-blocking and asynchronous programming
Delivering highly performant, real-time software
Knowledge of Linux, real-time operating systems
Proficiency with C++ toolchain (build & CI tools, compilers, debuggers, profilers)
Strong oral and written communication skills
Nice to haves:
Experience with Docker and Kubernetes.
Awareness of mechatronics devices and tools in AV and Robotics spaces
