Robotics Engineer

Embedded / Robotics Software Engineer – Autonomous Systems Onsite in the Tech Center: 7am-3:30pm/8am-4:30pm with 30 min lunch Job Description

This role focuses on developing advanced, semi‑autonomous, and fully autonomous software solutions for heavy equipment applications. The engineer will work closely with cross‑functional teams to prototype, integrate, and bring to production autonomous capabilities across positioning, planning, perception, and controls domains.

The successful candidate enjoys solving complex, real‑world problems and is comfortable moving quickly from concept to prototype to production‑quality software. They will contribute across the full development lifecycle, including design, documentation, coding, validation, and product quality, with a strong emphasis on writing and testing high‑quality production C++ code
.

• Develop and integrate software solutions for semi‑autonomous and autonomous machine systems
  .
• Collaborate with engineering teams to prototype new approaches and bring solutions into production.
• Apply and integrate positioning, planning, perception, and control algorithms for heavy equipment.
• Participate in all phases of development, including design, documentation, coding, validation, and quality assurance
  .
• Develop production‑quality C++ software
  , including design documentation and validation artifacts.
• Contribute to requirements generation and architecture discussions for autonomous systems.
• Support functional safety software design and validation
  .
• Analyze code, logs, and system behavior to perform advanced troubleshooting
  .
• Record and communicate technical issues, root causes, and resolution approaches.
• Collaborate with and mentor team members to achieve project and technical goals.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 5–7 years of experience supporting Robotics, Autonomy, or Automation technical projects.
• Internship experience may count toward total years of experience.
• On‑site role —
  remote work not supported
  .
• Associate degree is a disqualifier.

• Experience with robotics frameworks such as Robot Operating System (ROS).
• Knowledge of one or more of the following domains:

  • Excavators
  • Mining Shovels
  • Tracked Loaders
• Strong understanding of the Software Development Life Cycle
  , including:
  • Identifying common issues and risks at each phase.
  • Interpreting product development plans and functional documentation.
• Strong proficiency in C++
• Ability to interpret system designs and program specifications
• Strong debugging and profiling skills
• Applies structured programming practices in structured environments
• Technical Troubleshooting:
  • Discover, analyze, and resolve complex software/system issues
  • Perform advanced analysis using code, logs, and system diagnostics
• Experience working on embedded electronic control systems and/or vision systems for autonomous machines.

• Problem Solving
• Clearly identifies and documents problems and multiple resolution options
• Analyzes risks and benefits of alternative approaches
• Uses fact‑finding techniques and diagnostic tools to drive resolution
• Strong collaboration skills in a team‑based engineering environment
• High ownership mindset with attention to quality and detail
