About us
We are recruiting for Software Engineers to join our growing team, working with a wide array of technologies and tools to solve engineering problems in the field of robotics and industrial automation.
Loop Technology is an industrial automation specialist, with our HQ set in the heart of beautiful Dorset. We have many years of experience delivering state-of-the-art solutions to household name companies. We have a world-leading reputation for solving difficult industrial problems, specializing in robotics and the aerospace sector.
The Role
We are looking for multi-skilled Software Engineers who are quick to pick up new skills, and have a ‘knack’ for making things work. The candidate should have industrial software experience in automation, backed up with robust understanding of engineering concepts from a STEM degree.
Our products are varied in scope and field. From simple machines processing a dedicated task, to complex customizable cells with many robots, production steps and integrated technologies ranging from cameras, lasers, waterjet cutters and even chainsaws. Our bespoke machinery can be very complex, however it’s vital that it remains easy to use and operate.
As our new Software Engineer, you will be responsible for developing software using a diverse codebase:
1. Backend software in C# .NET, collecting & processing data from sources such as: 2D/3D vision systems; mathematical modelling & simulation; hardware & software integration.
2. Human machine interfaces (HMI) based on the Blazor framework (C#, HTML & CSS), WPF, or more traditional platforms such as Siemens WinCC.
3. Machine controls on industrial PLCs, programmed using IEC 61131-3 languages. Utilizing advanced functionality to achieve precise motion control, and integrating with the latest fieldbus networks for real-time data transfer.
4. Advanced motion control, using real-time C++ to synchronize hundreds of axes.
5. Industrial robots, and our own in-house devices, each require in-depth knowledge for commissioning and programming using proprietary languages (KRL, TP, KAREL, G-Code).
This is a role where no two days, or projects, are the same. The successful applicant will have a passion for robotics and automation, be curious & inquisitive, and a natural problem solver. They will work on their own initiative to learn new technologies, and have an eye for detail and design.
We are recruiting for roles in Dorchester and in Sheffield. Some travel may be required to our customer sites.
