We are hiring an experienced software engineer who enjoys bringing software, electronics, and mechanical systems together. This is an opportunity to take a leading hands-on role in the development and evolution of an advanced antenna controller system, creating reliable software that positions and moves antenna axes accurately and smoothly.
The role focuses on real-world motion control: driving different motor types, using encoder and sensor feedback, tuning closed-loop systems, and improving accuracy, stability, and performance through measured data.
