## About the Role

* Bachelor's degree in mechatronics engineering, robotics, or a related engineering field.
 * 7 years of progressive experience as an engineer or related in robotics software engineering.
 * 3 years (may be concurrent with 7 years) in the following:
 + Design or implementation of multi-threaded or multi-process control systems;
 + UR (robotic manipulators or arms);
 + Trajectory computation, generation, or parameterization; Robotic collision checking or
detection;

 + Production level code with emphasis on code quality, reliability, and performance.

## Description

* Robot Software Development: Design and implement production-ready software for
robotic platforms, ranging from high-level robotic logic to low-level hardware communication.

 * Modular Architecture: Develop and maintain modular codebases designed to handle an
arbitrary number of operations for automated manufacturing.

 * Motion Planning & Control: Implement and optimize sophisticated algorithms for trajectory generation, motion smoothing, and collision avoidance in constrained environments.
 * Hardware Interfacing: Develop reliable software interfaces for robotic manipulators to interact with and operate various instruments and custom components.
 * Kinematics & Solvers: Design and implement high-performance numerical gradient-based kinematic solvers and real-time trajectory parameterization algorithms.
 * Simulation & Validation: Design and improve high-fidelity simulation environments with
dynamically rendered tools and realistic collision modeling for system validation.

 * Fault Handling: Design state-based task management systems with robust error recovery and safety-first
features for industrial automation.

 * Technical Leadership: Serve as a point-of-contact for technical roadmaps and provide expert knowledge on deterministic robotic navigation.
