Job description

Overview

Robotic Vision Application Software Engineer

About the Role: We are seeking a driven Software Engineer to help pioneer new developments in robotic vision and controls technology. A strong proficiency in C++ development is essential.

In this position, you'll focus on architecting, building, and validating PC-based software solutions for various robotic vision applications, working across a spectrum from experimental prototypes to refined production-ready product releases.

This is not a work-from-home role and requires office-based attendance.

Responsibilities

• Work closely with a small multi-disciplinary team as the software lead to outline technical requirements and establish effective testing procedures.
• Produce maintainable, optimised code that aligns with technical specifications.
• Prepare and update comprehensive technical documentation that meets industry protocols.
• Participate actively in quality assurance, including software testing and peer code reviews.
• Accelerate concept development through fast prototyping and iteration.
• Troubleshoot and fix issues identified during field operations and deployments.
• Contribute to ongoing research and planning activities relevant to the position.
• Aid in handling and protecting intellectual property with the leadership team.
• Liaise with external collaborators and partners as directed by management.

Qualifications

Must-Have Skills & Background

• Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or a comparable field.
• Solid hands-on experience programming in C++, for both Windows and Linux systems (preferred).

Valuable Skills & Qualities

• Skilled in developing software at a low level, preferring minimal reliance on third-party libraries.
• Previous experience working on real-time systems.
• Understanding of multi-threaded software design.
• Familiarity with technologies like OpenGL, GTK, and CMake.
• Demonstrated ability in building intuitive graphical user interfaces.
• Commitment to writing robust, well-tested code.
• Knowledge of quality standards and regulatory requirements in the software industry.
• Excellent communicator, comfortable conveying complex technical topics to varied audiences.
• Self-motivated and effective at managing multiple priorities and timelines.
• Willing contributor to broader research and strategic discussions.
• Quick learner who thrives with minimal supervision.
• Skilled with MS Office and confident preparing detailed written reports.
• Basic grasp of broader engineering or related industry domains.
• Fluent spoken and written English.

If shaping the future of robotic vision and imaging excites you, we'd love to hear from you!
