Real Time Motion Platform Software Designer

Full time Bachelor, Master Eindhoven As a Real Time Motion Platform Software Designer, you design and define the software that controls how complex machines or high‑tech systems behave and operate.

In this role, you support our customers in creating and integrating system control software for high-tech equipment in the semiconductor, analytical, medical equipment industry, defence, cleantech and emerging, within the Brainport region and beyond. Your software expertise plays a vital role in bringing high-tech solutions to life, for different operating systems, including state machine and real-time aspects. What excites you as a Real Time Motion Platform Software Designer?

You will be working on a toolchain that enables the development of highly customizable real-time software applications for advanced motion control. Among its features are high sample frequencies that enable high controller bandwidths, MIMO control, iterative learning control and setpoint shaping. It connects to system behavior layer via a Sioux proprietary communication framework and the sensor/actuator layer via EtherCAT.

As a Real Time Motion Platform Software Designer, you contribute to defining requirements and you are responsible for translating them into robust software designs, ensuring high-quality implementation and seamless integration. You are eager to grow into a role where you bring your own technical contribution, while guiding the development team.

From our office in Eindhoven, and occasionally at our clients’ premises, you enjoy working on:

• Translating requirements into innovative, clear, and feasible concepts during the conceptual phase of projects.
• Acting as a bridge between architects and engineers from a technical perspective.
• Owning a module or sub-system throughout the entire software development cycle.
• Applying strong communication skills to effectively guide and mentor a team of (senior) engineers.
