Robotics Firmware Engineer - Product Care & Quality

ppThe Opportunity /ppAs a Software Engineer - Product Care you will play a crucial role in making autonomous robots a reality. As we deploy hundreds, then thousands of robots in the coming years, our customers and world will only adopt robots that are extremely reliable and performant. If you join our team, you’ll help create and stabilize a multi-disciplinary, product-oriented team that will evolve ANYmal’s reliability and performance. As you perform and grow, you can help generations of ANYmals (and potentially other forms of future robots and robotic systems) mature. /ppMarket Technology /ppANYbotics transforms industrial plants in the (renewable) energy, process, and utility sector by introducing robotics to a wide range of novel applications that so far were beyond reach. Our mobile robot ANYmal uses legs for extreme mobility in complex environments, camera- and LIDAR-based sensing for full autonomy and obstacle avoidance, to perform jobs and deliver high-quality, consistent inspection results. We develop numerous customized hardware systems, including the entire robotic platform, actuators, sensors, inspection payloads, charging systems, and all related ANYbotics electrical hardware /ppYour Contributions /pulliEvolve and maintain the robot’s firmware and drivers /liliEnable the integration of product improvements, e.g. new sensors or payloads, both in the software stack and in the production process /liliDevelop and execute comprehensive testing plans to ensure the reliability and robustness of the robot's mechatronic system /liliIdentify and address any software-related issues or bugs through thorough testing and validation processes /liliCollaborate with the software development team to design, implement, and test new features and improvements for the robot's software /liliContribute to user manuals and guidelines for internal and external stakeholders /liliCollaborate with cross-functional teams, including mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, and field technicians, to address any software-related aspects of product care /li /ulpYour Profile /pulliExcellent ability to grasp the behavior of a complex product like our robotic system and expand this understanding to others /liliExcellent at independently identifying root causes, ready to be hands-on and deriving targeted, corrective actions as a result of investigations /liliStrong and sincere motivation to achieve high product quality and performance /liliStrong C++ programming skills, able to write testable and well-documented code for firmware and drivers /liliStrong at self-coordination, working towards a goal and achieving outcomes /liliStrong at working in interdisciplinary teams and incorporating different perspectives in your work and communication /liliCapable of writing simple libraries and scripts for data analysis in Python /liliCapable of working effectively in a Linux environment /liliCapable of designing and running tests on complex mechatronic systems /liliProven experience of achieving great results by writing production-grade code for mechatronic systems /liliEngineering or science degree with a focus on computer science, electrical engineering or robotics /li /ulpBonus Points /pulliYou are already experienced with ROS and/or robotics algorithms /liliYou are already experienced with EtherCAT and/or similar real-time protocols for automation /li /ulpWe offer you a very exciting and dynamic work environment, the opportunity to become part of a fast-growing company and an ambitious team that is on a mission to change the industrial inspection market, a chance to leverage your experience and bring in your own ideas, a fair market salary, an attractive employee stock ownership plan, and a job in the city of Zurich. /p /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
