Software Engineer - Robotics Automation

Software Engineer Robotics & Automation

We are looking for multiskilled 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 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 customisable 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:

• Backend software in C# .NET collecting & processing data from sources such as: 2D/3D vision systems; mathematical modelling & simulation; hardware & software integration.
  
• Human machine interfaces (HMI) based on the Blazor framework (C# HTML & CSS) WPF or more traditional platforms such as Siemens WinCC.
  
• Machine controls on industrial PLCs programmed using IEC 611313 languages. Utilising advanced functionality to achieve precise motion control and integrating with the latest fieldbus networks for realtime data transfer.
  
• Advanced motion control using realtime C to synchronise hundreds of axes.
  
• Industrial robots and our own inhouse devices each require indepth knowledge for commissioning and programming using proprietary languages (KRL TP KAREL GCode).
  

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.
