* Interface desktop software with embedded firmware and real-time systems
* Collaborate closely with electronics and hardware teams during development, validation, and testing
* Support system-level integration and troubleshooting across software and hardware boundaries
Cloud & Connectivity
* Contribute to cloud-based services and infrastructure, supporting connectivity, data exchange, and system monitoring
* Develop or integrate web services and REST APIs where required
* Support DevOps practices, version control, and deployment workflows
General Responsibilities
* Produce clear technical documentation
* Participate in code reviews and technical discussions
* Act as a key technical contributor within the software team
ESSENTIAL EXPERIENCE
* Strong commercial experience with modern C++ and C#
* Solid understanding of software architecture and design principles
* Experience working with multi-threaded, asynchronous, and performance-critical systems
* Proven background in complex, multi-component software environments
* Experience with firmware or embedded software development on microcontroller platforms (e.g. STM32 or similar)
* Understanding of embedded constraints, hardware interfaces, and system integration
* Strong experience with Visual Studio and/or Visual Studio Code
* Comfortable working in collaborative development environments
* Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills
NICE TO HAVE
* Desktop frameworks such as WPF, .NET MAUI, or cross-platform UI frameworks
* Communication protocols: Serial, Ethernet, Bluetooth
* Embedded C and real-time systems
* Cloud platforms such as AWS and/or Microsoft Azure
* REST APIs, web services, or backend integration
* DevOps practices and Git-based version control
* Prior exposure to industrial systems, automation, or additive manufacturing
QUALIFICATIONS
* Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or similar
* (or equivalent practical experience)
* Fluent English, written and spoken
* Strong motivation to learn and contribute to advanced industrial and additive manufacturing systems
