Real-Time Controls Software Engineer

The Real-Time Controls Software Engineer will be responsible for the design, debug, and implementation of the software and controls of advanced R&D equipment and complex machinery. As a member of the controls software team you will be a hands-on technical contributor and a champion of writing excellent quality, operation-ready code for mission-critical real-time systems. You will collect functional requirements from customers and produce software solutions to meet these requirements. You will work with simulation and test engineers to integrate your software into software testbeds, hardware testbeds, and industrial tools.This team member will:Work within a multi-disciplinary and proven team of top scientists and engineersSpecify, write, and test control software for advanced industrial equipmentOwn the specification, design, testing, and implementation of key systems such as interlocks, sensors and actuators, higher level tool control and user interface programmingWork closely with R&D team to outline interfaces and requirements for equipment and software operation for equipment controlEngage with mechanical and electrical engineers on concepts, designs, and test plans by providing data acquisition and controls as neededWork with external software contractors to develop the control systems for internal tools (Define requirements, manage priorities, drive testing and implementation plans)The ideal candidate will have most, if not all, of these requirements:

At least a bachelor’s degree in a relevant engineering field (e.g., mecatronics, software)3+ years of experience as software engineer on complex mechanical systems -- for example: design, construction, and operation of controls for industrial, large-scale equipmentWorking knowledge of Python, C++, C and other high-level languages along with modern tools like github and CI/CD release managementBroad embedded system software development experience including bare-metal code, driver development, OS platform development, and real-time application developmentExperience with fieldbus systems such as EtherCATExperience developing and tuning control loopsDemonstrated ability to conceive novel solutions to challenging problemsExperience with specification generation and suppler engagementC++, Python (compiled systems programming and interpreted scripting languages) in Linux environmentNetworking (IP/UDP/TCP)Software/hardware interfaces (ADCs/DACs, quarts, ethernet, etc.)Knowledge of interlock systems and methods that conform to NFPA 79 and SEMI S2High self-motivation and drive to execute quickly with excellent troubleshooting and problem-solving skillsAdditional experience and/or qualifications:

Low-latency network communicationDesign for manufacturability, serviceability, and simplicity over complexityAbility to occasionally lift up to 50 lbsPerform activities such as stooping, climbing, typing, standing, or sitting for extended periods of timeDedication to safety to mitigate industrial hazards that may include heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead (Pb), high voltage, and cryogenicsWillingness to travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call occasionally
