Job Description:

We are looking for multi-skilled Software Engineers who are quick to pick up new skills and have a ‘knack’ for making things work. The ideal candidates have industrial software experience in an automation setting, backed up with a robust understanding of engineering concepts from a STEM degree.

Our products are varied in scope and field, from simple machines processing a dedicated task to complex customizable cells with many robots, production steps, and integrated technologies ranging from cameras, lasers, waterjet cutters, and even chainsaws. Our bespoke machinery can be very complex; however, it’s vital that it remains easy to use and operate.

As our new Software Engineer, you will be responsible for developing software using a diverse codebase:

1. Backend software in C# .NET, collecting & processing data from sources such as 2D/3D vision systems, mathematical modeling & simulation, hardware & software integration.

2. Human machine interfaces (HMI) based on the Blazor framework (C#, HTML & CSS), WPF, or more traditional platforms such as Siemens WinCC.

3. Machine controls on industrial PLCs, programmed using IEC 61131-3 languages. Utilizing advanced functionality to achieve precise motion control and integrating with the latest fieldbus networks for real-time data transfer.

4. Advanced motion control, using real-time C++ to synchronize hundreds of axes.

5. Industrial robots and our own in-house devices each require in-depth knowledge for commissioning and programming using proprietary languages (KRL, TP, KAREL, G-Code).

This is a role where no two days or projects are the same. The successful applicant will have a passion for robotics and automation, be curious & inquisitive, and a natural problem solver. They will work on their own initiative to learn new technologies and have an eye for detail and design.

Essential Skills and Experience:

1. 2+ years industrial programming experience (C# preferable)

2. STEM degree with a solid understanding of engineering concepts

3. Passion for learning new skills and solving problems

4. Ability to communicate at a technical level, in both written and verbal English

5. Able to work on own initiative and autonomously

6. Willing and able to travel

Desirable Skills and Experience:

1. C# experience (.NET)

2. Web design experience (HTML, CSS, JavaScript)

3. Experience in engineering environments

4. PLC programming (IEC61131-3)

5. Embedded programming (C/C++) ARM Cortex M/ESP32/Arduino

6. Experience developing and maintaining full stack web applications
