Robotics Simulator Software Developer
What is Mapvision? Well, we are the eyes of smart factories. But we are also a group of awesome, talented and motivated people ready to change the world. Now we are looking to strengthen our Software team with a Robotics Simulator Software Developer in our headquarters in Helsinki.
What does a Robotics Simulator Software Developer do?
In this role you are the key person developing CAD & simulation tools to support a new manufacturing paradigm where handling and welding robots are working based on the real-time feedback from our machine vision system. Your playground is the simulation environment with multiple robots, cameras and lights, and you job is to develop the tools which are used to plan and design the assembly sequence and the measurement of the parts. This is why experience with basic concepts of industrial robots (such as setting up coordinate systems and transformations) is a strength for this role. While this is a software development role, there are opportunities to get involved with the test site and the actual hardware.
What is the software team like and what do we do?
The software team consists of 16 professionals and that work with our different software components for hardware interface and running the measurement, lights and cameras, for data analysis and for CAD simulation. The team members have a wide range of opportunities to work and grow based on their interests and abilities. While we work in small teams, we have a low hierarchy, and the capability for independent working is appreciated.
Our projects range from real-time analytics, 3D CAD and machine vision to deep learning and closed-loop robotics. Our products are building blocks for Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing. We enable next-generation zero-waste production and transitioning to electric vehicles. We work mainly with Windows desktop using Microsoft technologies, including WPF and WinForms but we also have our head in the Cloud while working with our AI solutions.
