Roles and Responsibilities (What You'll Do) As an Embedded Software Engineer, you will collaborate with an interdisciplinary team to bring our robotic systems to life. Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:
- Create software for robotics components and systems, including algorithms, high-level C++, lower-level C code, and user interfaces.
- Test software in system integration laboratories, simulation, and on fully-realized robots.
- Analyze system performance through the use of data logs and the creation of post-processing software and scripts.
- Troubleshoot and debug complex hardware-software interactions on embedded targets, utilizing software debuggers, profilers, and hardware lab equipment.
- Work in the design space by writing use cases and software specifications, and hold and participate in design reviews and coding peer reviews.
- Work with sensors and lower-level technologies like serial buses, i2c, SPI, and CAN.
- Integrate different sensor, actuator, and computing technologies into robotic systems.
- Document software using industry-standard best practices.
- Conform to company policies regarding confidentiality, software licensing, and export control restrictions.
