Location: Redmond, WA, 98052 (Onsite – All 5 days of the week)
Summary:
We are seeking a highly skilled software engineer to work on hardware integration and automation projects. The ideal candidate will have experience working with consumer electronics, firmware, and lab test equipment such as cameras, motion stages, and 6-dof manufacturing robots.
As a software engineer, you will be responsible for integrating all of these components and building scalable and reusable systems that allow for easy software updates and component swaps. In addition, you will be responsible for developing software that automates hardware systems to enable data collection. This will require a strong understanding of hardware components and firmware, as well as programming skills in languages such as C++ and Python.
A successful candidate will also have strong testing and debugging skills to ensure software operates as expected and hardware components are integrated properly. You will need to be able to gather requirements from stakeholders, develop software that meets those requirements, and ensure that the software operates as expected through thorough testing and debugging. Strong communication skills are essential for success in this role, as you will be working closely with cross-functional teams and providing updates on project status.
Requirements:
Bachelor's degree in computer science, electrical engineering, or related field
Strong programming skills in languages such as C++ and Python
Experience working with hardware components and interfacing with firmware
Ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams
Strong problem-solving and analytical skills and attention to detail
Strong testing and debugging skills
Requirements gathering skills
Excellent communication skills
Responsibilities:
Setting up and maintaining data collection SW
Building abstractions for hardware, and scaling solutions to many different types of hardware
C++ & Python debugging, understand different kinds of error analysis and communicate with other Research Engineers and Scientists.
