We are seeking a Robotics Software Engineer - User Interface who is passionate about working with complex electromechanical systems. The Robotics Software Engineer - User Interface will be responsible for designing and developing front-end and back-end UI for advanced robotic systems. This role focuses on building user-friendly, efficient, and robust interfaces that can support the complexity of controlling robotic vehicles, while ensuring the UI is optimized for real-time data and commands from various sensors and actuators. This engineer will work with DDS middleware, primarily using Qt for development.
What you will do:- Develop and maintain user interfaces using Qt for robotic control systems
- Collaborate with robotics engineers to ensure the UI integrates seamlessly with the back-end system and middleware
- Implement back-end logic and real-time communication mechanisms that interface with DDS middleware layers
- Participate in architectural design discussions to optimize UI performance and efficiency in handling real-time robotic data
- Conduct testing, debugging, and optimization to meet latency and performance requirements
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure user interface consistency across platforms and devices
What you will bring:- Bachelor's or degree in computer science, Robotics, or related field
- QML experience highly desired
- 3-5 years of experience developing user interfaces using Qt
- Strong understanding of real-time systems and experience with DDS middleware (e.g., RTI DDS).
- Experience with front-end and back-end development for robotic systems or embedded platforms
- Proficiency in C++ and/or Python
- Familiarity with software development's best practices, including testing, version control, and documentation
- Required to occasionally travel (2-3 times per year) to technical demonstrations and conferences
- Occasional travel to VideoRay's Headquarters in Pottstown, PA
Bonus Requirements: - Familiarity with robotic communication protocols (e.g., Ethernet, serial, CAN).
- Knowledge of 3D visualization libraries for integrating sensor feedback (e.g., OpenGL, VTK)
- Experience with Agile or Scrum development methodologies
- Knowledge of ERP (Costpoint) system
- Able to hold Security Clearances and visit U.S. Military bases (U.S. Citizenship)
