Introduction
Would you like to develop software that controls real robots? Not simulations, but high-end robotic systems that operate in extreme offshore environments. Do you enjoy working closely with hardware, with real-time control and direct feedback from test setups? Then this is the role for you.
Function
As a Backend C++ Software Engineer (Robotics), you will develop the core software that enables robotic systems to move, measure, inspect, and function autonomously. You will work on real-time control software that directly influences motion control, sensor data processing, and system behavior.
You are involved in the entire development process: from concept and prototyping to validation and implementation on physical systems.
- What will you do?
- Developing real-time C++ software for robot control
- Implementing motion control, feedback loops, and control logic
- Integrating sensors (e.g., ultrasonic, position, force) into control software
- Working on modular and scalable robotic architectures
- Testing and validating software on physical robots and experimental setups
- Collaborating with mechanical and electrical engineers to optimize system performance
- Solving complex technical issues within a unique offshore context
What's in it for you
- Working on advanced robotic systems in a high-tech R&D environment
- Direct impact on physical machines and innovative offshore technology
- Plenty of freedom to experiment and deepen technical knowledge
- Competitive salary and excellent benefits package
- Performance-based raises and bonuses
- 30 vacation days and flexible working hours
- Training budget and career opportunities
- Informal, close-knit, and technically driven work environment
Who are you
- A completed degree in Software Engineering, Robotics, Embedded Systems, or similar
- Strong knowledge of C++ (experience with C is an advantage)
- Understanding of real-time systems and control principles
- Interest in robotics, motion control, and system integration
- Hands-on mentality: you want to see how your code translates into movement
- Prerequisite: experience with Beckhoff TwinCAT and/or EtherCAT
