  • Advanced real-time control algorithm development using C/C++
  • Experience with Python and/or MATLAB/Simulink for simulation, analysis, and testing
  • Proven ability to develop robust, high-performance algorithms in multithreaded or multiprocessor environments
  • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across hardware, software, and systems engineering teams
  • Industry experience within medical device, aerospace, automotive, robotics, or another highly regulated engineering environment
Preferred
  • Advanced robotic control techniques such as impedance control or flexible manipulator control
  • Embedded Linux or QNX experience
  • Full product lifecycle experience including verification, validation, and manufacturing transfer
  • Experience with Git, SVN, CMake, or GNU Make systems
