Job summary

REV Robotics in Carrollton, TX is seeking an embedded software engineer to design and build test fixtures for robotics hardware. You will develop software on single board computers (e.g., Raspberry Pi) and drive testability and instrumentation across the product line.

You will own and improve build systems (CMake, Gradle) for C, C++, and Java projects, automate workflows, and collaborate with hardware and QA teams to ensure robust validation.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering or Computer Science or equivalent.
• Experience with build systems such as CMake and Gradle for Java, C, and C++ projects.
• Experience developing on Linux and for Raspberry Pi.
• Proficiency with Git and collaborative development practices.
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.

Responsibilities

• Design and build test fixtures for robotics hardware, including the software needed to run them.
• Develop fixture control software on single board computers running Linux, interfacing with devices under test.
• Develop and modify embedded software on the devices under test to support testability, instrumentation, and debugging.
• Create, maintain, and improve build systems for projects across the team (CMake, Gradle, etc.).
• Automate build, test, and release workflows so hardware and software can be validated quickly and repeatedly.
• Collaborate with hardware, product development, and QA teams to define test coverage and requirements.
• Analyze test results and fixture data to identify failures and drive improvements.
• Participate in code reviews.

Job description

Do you like Robots? So do we. Do you want to make a positive impact on the world? We do that too!

REV Robotics is one of the fastest-growing companies in educational robotics. Our people and their passion for STEM education (FIRST Robotics, in particular) set us apart. We have a relaxed and friendly office located in Carrollton, TX, just outside of Dallas, and are looking for people who are willing to stretch their abilities to make STEM education materials more accessible and impactful to everyone.

About the role

This new role at REV Robotics sits at the intersection of software and hardware: in addition to building the fixtures themselves, you will work directly on the embedded devices under test, so hands-on embedded systems experience is essential. The successful candidate will work with the software and hardware teams to design and build test fixtures and the software that drives them, using single board computers to exercise, measure, and validate our robotics products. You will also own and improve the build systems that our C, C++, and Java projects depend on.

Job Location: Carrollton, TX

Pay Range: $98,000 - $115,000 per year

Note that no employment sponsorship of any kind is available for this position.

What you'll do

• Design and build test fixtures for robotics hardware, including the software needed to run them
• Develop fixture control software on single board computers (e.g. Raspberry Pi) running Linux, interfacing with devices under test over GPIO, USB, serial, CAN, and similar interfaces
• Develop and modify embedded software on the devices under test to support testability, instrumentation, and debugging
• Create, maintain, and improve build systems (CMake, Gradle, etc.) for projects across the team
• Automate build, test, and release workflows so hardware and software can be validated quickly and repeatably
• Collaborate with the hardware, product development, and QA teams to define test coverage and requirements through the product life cycle
• Analyze test results and fixture data to identify failures and drive improvements
• Participate in code reviews
