Description
DESCRIPTION:1. Implement embedded software for our robot controllers (eV+ language and servo code)
2. Specify, design, and implement functionality and behaviors of embedded robotic subsystems
3. Design, implement and maintain drivers for controller peripherals (serial ports, USB, I2C, Ethernet, FireWire, SD Card, Force Sensor…)
4. Support existing products
5. Write Unit Tests for implemented features
6. Participate in product architecture design
A successful candidate will be expected to contribute positively to the development efforts in the embedded software team, implement key features in eV+ and have the ability to solve problems through solid debugging techniques. He/she will report to the Director of Software Engineering and must be capable of working with a distributed and international software team, with electrical engineers and technicians and other teams. He/she will also work with Applications Engineers.
