C# Software Engineer (Robotics/Machine Vision)

As our new Software Engineer, you will be responsible for developing software using a diverse codebase:

Backend software in C# .NET, collecting & processing data from sources such as: 2D/3D vision systems; mathematical modelling & simulation; hardware & software integration.

Human machine interfaces (HMI) based on the Blazor framework (C#, HTML & CSS), WPF, or more traditional platforms such as Siemens WinCC.

Machine controls on industrial PLCs, programmed using IEC (phone number removed) languages. Utilising advanced functionality to achieve precise motion control, and integrating with the latest fieldbus networks for real-time data transfer.

Advanced motion control, using real-time C++ to synchronise hundreds of axes.

Industrial robots, and our own in-house devices, each require in-depth knowledge for commissioning and programming using proprietary languages (KRL, TP, KAREL, G-Code).
This is a role where no two days, or projects, are the same. The successful applicant will have a passion for robotics and automation, be curious & inquisitive, and a natural problem solver. They will work on their own initiative to learn new technologies, and have an eye for detail and design.
