WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING Reporting to the Software Technical Lead, the successful candidate will work as part of a multi-disciplinary sprint team developing embedded motion control software for robotic systems. Contribute to the development and validation of embedded robotics control software, primarily in areas such as motion control, device communication, and real-time behavior. Extend and improve code-level unit test frameworks and test harnesses to increase system reliability, coverage, and maintainability. Investigate and resolve defects found in complex embedded systems, including root cause analysis, debugging, and validation of fixes. Perform focused technical investigations and prototyping to evaluate approaches, performance characteristics, or system limitations. Work closely with senior developers to understand system architecture, control algorithms, and hardware/software interactions. Be exposed to key stages of the embedded product development cycle: requirements interpretation, implementation, testing (unit/integration), debugging, and continuous improvement. Deliver meaningful contributions that improve system robustness, testability, and overall product quality.
