About the Company
We're building the next generation of intelligent manufacturing systems by combining advanced software, hardware, automation, and machine learning into a unified platform. Our technology enables complex industrial systems to operate autonomously, driving unprecedented speed, precision, and scalability in advanced manufacturing.
We're looking for engineers who thrive on solving hard technical problems and want to build software that directly powers real-world machines.
The Role
As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer, you'll develop the software that serves as the backbone of our production systems. You'll work at the intersection of embedded systems, robotics, controls, automation, and high-performance computing to build reliable software that interfaces directly with hardware in real time.
This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy working close to the hardware and want to see their code operate on mission-critical physical systems.
What You'll Do
- Design and develop embedded software for advanced industrial hardware systems.
- Build machine control and communication interfaces that interact directly with sensors, actuators, and custom hardware.
- Develop software for data acquisition, monitoring, diagnostics, and system health management.
- Collaborate closely with controls engineers to integrate real-time control algorithms into production software.
- Partner with FPGA and hardware teams to support high-speed data acquisition and processing.
- Create scalable infrastructure for logging, telemetry, calibration, and performance analysis.
- Develop automation solutions that improve system reliability and manufacturing throughput.
- Write well-tested, maintainable, and production-quality C++ software.
- Contribute to architectural decisions and technical direction across the engineering organization.
