Software Engineer – Intelligent Robotics

Location: Hartford, CT
Employment Type: Full-Time

NOTE: ROBOTICS EXPERIENCE IS AN ABSOLUTE REQUIREMENT.  Please only apply if you have prior experience developing software to control the motion of robots or automated equipment (robotics).

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced and dynamic Software Engineer who thrives at the intersection of intelligent robotics and automation. In this role, you will design and deliver software that powers next‑generation robotic platforms used in high‑tech laboratory environments.

You will own meaningful features end‑to‑end, contribute to architectural decisions, and help elevate the team through mentorship and technical leadership. If you enjoy solving complex automation challenges and building reliable systems that make a real-world impact, this role is for you.

What You'll Do

• Design and develop leading edge embedded control software, automation workflows, and application‑level tools for robotic systems.
• Build and optimize core automation libraries that simplify robotic programming and improve system performance.
• Collaborate with Mechanical, Electrical, and Manufacturing Engineering teams to develop bring‑up, diagnostic, and production test software.
• Troubleshoot real‑world field issues and partner with Customer Care to drive reliability improvements.
• Contribute to software architecture, design reviews, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Mentor junior engineers and support a culture of technical excellence.
• Ensure all development aligns with ISO 13485 and internal quality standards.
• Stay current with advancements in robotics, motion control, embedded systems, and automation technologies—and bring those insights into product development.

What You Bring

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 3–15+ years of software development experience in robotics, automation, or embedded systems.
• Strong proficiency in Java (or other 4GL Object Oriented languages like Python or C/C++) expert level required.
• Deep understanding of object‑oriented design, system integration, and software architecture.
• Experience with real‑time embedded systems, motion control, sensors, and electrical interfacing.
• Familiarity with industrial automation protocols, machine vision, or real‑time data processing is a plus.
• Hands-on experience with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and modern development workflows.
• Exposure to web technologies (Angular, Node.js), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), or database systems is beneficial.
• Proven ability to mentor others and lead small technical initiatives.
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and communication skills.
• Ability to thrive in a fast‑paced environment with multiple priorities.

Why Join

• Grow your career in cutting-edge robotics that directly support scientific innovation.
• Family‑first culture with exceptionally low turnover — people stay because they love it - office BBQs, social events, and in‑house game competitions.
• A true promote‑from‑within environment where your growth is a priority.
• A team that values outgoing, collaborative people who bring a positive attitude.
• Exceptional health benefits to support you and your family.
