Our ruggedized solutions can meet the challenges of any industry, providing effective and efficient answers for even the toughest problems. Who We're Looking For We are a dynamic team committed to making the impossible possible. Our staff comes from diverse backgrounds and experience levels, fueling our ethos of collective growth and passion towards our work. We warmly welcome individuals of similar mindset to join our ranks. For this role, we are seeking a solid Embedded Software Engineer who can take full end-to-end ownership of software for our robotics components and systems. Whether your background is strictly in lower-level microcontrollers, real-time operating systems, or bridging the gap between hardware and high-level algorithms, we are looking for someone who can write robust code, integrate complex sensors, and thrive in a hands-on robotics environment. 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. ## Related Videos - [Profiling Symfony & PHP apps with Blackfire](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/265-profiling-symfony-php-apps-with-blackfire) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Car's are Technology on Wheels - Impact of Software and IT Competence in Automotive](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/780-car-s-are-technology-on-wheels-impact-of-software-and-it-competence-in-automotive) - [Enhancing Workload Security in Kubernetes](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/356-enhancing-workload-security-in-kubernetes) - [Git for Code Reviews](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/429-git-for-code-reviews) - [Agile work at CARIAD – Creating a customer web application for controlling the vehicle ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/200-agile-work-at-cariad-creating-a-customer-web-application-for-controlling-the-vehicle) ## Related Articles - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology) - [Is Software Engineering Hard?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/448-is-software-engineering-hard) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Best Countries for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/267-best-countries-for-software-engineers) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [What is Software Engineering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/289-what-is-software-engineering)
