Software Engineer

About the Role

The Software Engineer (Machine Control) is responsible for the design, development, testing, and validation of machine-control and motion-control software for Electrical Discharge Machines (EDMs).

You will play a key role in delivering reliable, accurate, and maintainable control software that integrates seamlessly with machine hardware while meeting product, quality, and safety requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain machine-control software for EDM systems, focusing on machine operation, sequencing, interlocks, and axis motion control.
• Develop and optimize motion-control functions, including positioning, interpolation, trajectory execution, servo-related control logic, and coordinated machine movements.
• Translate machine and product requirements into software specifications, system architecture, algorithms, and detailed software designs.
• Perform software testing, debugging, troubleshooting, and validation to ensure functionality, accuracy, reliability, and system stability.
• Support prototype development, system integration, machine commissioning, and performance evaluation activities.
• Analyze test results and field feedback to identify root causes and implement software improvements or corrective actions.
• Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, application, manufacturing, and service teams to resolve system-level issues and deliver cross-functional projects.
• Prepare and maintain software design documentation, test records, change records, technical specifications, and source-code documentation.

Requirements

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related discipline.

Technical Knowledge - Fundamental knowledge of:

• Software design, programming, testing, and debugging
• Control systems, automation, robotics, or motion-control concepts
• Data structures, algorithms, and object-oriented programming principles
• System requirements analysis, machine behaviors, interfaces, and technical documentation
• Candidates with experience in software development, automation, embedded systems, industrial equipment, or machine-control applications will have an added advantage.
• Experience in CNC control systems, machine-tool control, or motion-control software is highly preferred.
• Candidates with 3 to 5 years of relevant experience in CNC control systems will be strongly preferred.
