Some jobs aren't just tough - they're brutal. Too toxic. Too remote. Too dangerous for humans to handle. That's where we come in.
At HDT, we build robotic arms and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) with military-grade strength and precision engineering, built for the extremes and adaptable to any challenge. Behind the toughest hardware is a team energized by complex problems. Bring us a challenge, and we'll engineer the solution.
That's the mindset. That's the mission. That's Built for Brutal.
The Control Systems / Embedded Software Engineer will participate in all aspects of control systems design and embedded software engineering including architecture definition, requirements analysis, design, implementation, test, and documentation. The software may range from low level device drivers and motor commutation to communications, power management and high-level applications controlling robotic devices.
This position conducts hands-on debugging that spans the mechanical, electrical, and control system domains typical of robotic systems. The successful candidate will have the ability to translate objectives to results and deliverables with little oversight and direction; lead software development projects of moderate to high complexity and work in a highly-collaborative, multi-disciplinary team environment.
