Job Description
About the Team:
The Additive Technology team operates at the frontier of research and development, where creativity meets capability. This is an R&D-driven environment where problems are open-ended and solutions are yours to define. You'll work alongside welders, robotics engineers, data scientists, and systems engineers at the intersection of hardware and software, creating an end-to-end additive manufacturing platform that serves a wide variety of applications. From exploring new materials to unlocking faster print speeds, to designing complex, organic geometries that can't be built any other way, it's high-impact work that sets the foundation for the future of additive manufacturing.
About the Role:
This role is part of our Robotics Software Engineering team, building out a novel type of cooperative robotic platform that utilizes our large-scale additive manufacturing systems. This platform will pave the way for the continuous invention of new capabilities. We prioritize performance, simplicity, simulation/testing, and reusability, building cohesive interfaces with every piece of equipment we use. Our team provides a system with which custom robots and additive systems can be built and integrated seamlessly. As a Staff Robotics Software Engineer you will be responsible for the development of a flexible and safe robotics operating platform, focusing on the low-level execution environment, messaging and communications, integration with robots and equipment, and providing interfaces to further develop applications and integrations that leverage the core platform.
About You:
You have experience in writing Linux software at all levels, real-time operating systems, industrial robotics, planning and decision making for autonomous systems, simulation and visualizations, and are comfortable creating tools and algorithms to process positional, sensor and motion data to ensure the robotic print cell is able to achieve highly repeatable and accurate motion throughout a print profile while responding to dynamic input.
- Education: BS or MS in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
- Experience incorporating various sensors (e.g., lidar, cameras, IMUs) into systems, optimizing for accuracy and reliability
- 8+ years experience developing large-scale projects in C/C++ and/or Rust for long lifecycle products
- Demonstrated ability to configure build system to generate builds for multiple target hardware platforms and testing harnesses
- Knowledge of kinematics, dynamics, and control algorithms for precise robot motion planning and execution
- Experience with EtherCAT and other industrial protocols: Familiarity with industrial communication standards and their application in high-performance robotic systems
Nice to haves but not required:
- Demonstrated ability in data visualization and GUI development for complex robotic systems
- Experience working with ROS
- Experience with TwinSAFE in non-TwinCAT environments
- Knowledge of network administration
