Responsibilities

• Design and develop machine software to control and coordinate multiple axes of motion, including precise synchronization of DC and AC closed-loop servos.
• Implement, debug, and optimize software for real-time embedded systems.
• Develop PC-based user interfaces using C++ to interact with servo control hardware.
• Collaborate with hardware engineers to integrate software with motion control systems.
• Debug and troubleshoot both software and hardware issues in real-time environments.

Requirements

• Proven experience in embedded software development for motion control systems.
• Hands-on experience with real-time control of DC and AC servos in a closed-loop environment.
• Strong proficiency in C++ with a focus on developing software for automation systems.
• Experience with PLCs, VFDs, and multi-axis coordination is a must.
• Ability to work with legacy systems and new product development.
• Familiarity with Visual Studio for development and debugging.

Nice-to-haves

• Previous experience in automation and industrial machinery development.
• Knowledge of servo tuning, feedback systems, and signal processing for motion control.

Benefits

• Flexible working hours
• Hybrid work environment
