Job Description:

We are looking for a C++ Developer to join the next-generation platform team at one of the world's leading e-commerce and logistics companies. The role is part of a strategic effort to rewrite a mature industrial control application from a legacy controls platform into a modern, scalable C++ stack supporting the scaling of an industrial robotic workcell fleet from approximately 1,000 deployed machines today to 5,000-6,000 machines by 2027.

This is a contract engagement with strong likelihood of extension. You'll be working alongside an existing team of engineers driving the migration, with day-to-day technical autonomy and direct impact on the architecture that will run thousands of machines globally. The product is a Transfer Cartesian Cell (TCC) is an 8-axis, servo-driven Cartesian pick-and-place workcell that integrates with mobile floor robots inside fulfilment centers.

Your role is on the C++ migration side building the new application that will eventually replace CODESYS as the production control layer.

• Build the new C++ control application that will replace the legacy CODESYS implementation
• Develop embedded software running on Linux-based industrial PCs in production fulfilment environments
• Design modular, testable, scalable software with proper unit-test coverage - solving the scaling problem that the legacy platform couldn't
• Implement control logic, motion orchestration, device interfaces, and system-level behavior

• Read and interpret the existing CODESYS application as the source of truth for the rewrite
• Ensure functional parity between legacy CODESYS behavior and the new C++ implementation
• Debug migration issues that require understanding both the legacy and new stacks

Skillsets

Required:

• Strong C++ embedded development experience - real-time, embedded, or industrial control environments
• Hands-on Linux experience - system-level work, debugging, deployment, embedded Linux.

Qualifications:

• Direct CODESYS exposure or work with IEC 61131-3 platforms - even basic familiarity is a significant plus
• Industrial controls or robotics background
• Ether
  
  CAT, MQTT, or industrial fieldbus protocol experience
• OTA / firmware update workflows;
  Yocto, Bit Bake, or similar embedded build systems
• Experience migrating legacy systems to modern software stack
