Software Engineer
You build the complex architecture behind the brain of the exoskeleton and ensure that the exoskeleton is reliable and safe.
How do you make sure the exoskeleton walks
As a Software Engineer, you will be building a piece of the brain of the exoskeleton! How do you make the exoskeleton react to the available sensor data and the given input from the pilot? And how do you distribute all this information internally so that ultimately the correct walking patterns are executed? By designing and implementing the complete software architecture you ensure that when the pilot is ready, the exoskeleton runs perfectly.
What you will do as Software Engineer
As Software Engineer you are responsible for maintaining, expanding and optimizing the software system that has been built in the past seven MARCH years. By looking critically at the (ROS) architecture and keeping an overview of all the functionalities of the exoskeleton, you make sure that the system is intuitive and clear. As part of the software department, you have regular contact with your teammates to design new features that can be added to the exoskeleton and you also explore what the possibilities are. You take the necessary steps to let the exoskeleton react in a dynamic way to its environment. In addition to the software that runs on the exoskeleton, there are plenty of other places around the design process where you can be involved! Consider, for example, the automation of testing and training. You also help your teammates with programming and offer support where needed. In short, you are involved with the entirety of the software process and you ensure that the exoskeleton runs smoothly!
