Software Engineer

 Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence, a division of Hexagon Metrology, is seeking a Software Engineer, for our Williamsburg, Virginia location. 

At Hexagon, we strive to help industrial manufacturers develop the disruptive technologies of today and the life-changing products of tomorrow. Our strength comes from our global footprint and enormous portfolio of advanced industrial sensors, measurement technologies, factory automation, simulation, and analytics tools.  

Description:  
The Software Engineer will be responsible for the planning, architecture, implementation, and testing of a variety of software solutions related to metrology, automation, and hardware interfacing.

Following agile development practices, the candidate will work with a small team of developers to maintain and improve functionality and user experience for several highly technical Windows-based software metrology applications implemented in C++/MFC.  Fluency with object-oriented development principles, a high degree of spatial awareness, and an engineering or scientific background is essential.  Experience with robotics and a strong foundation in mathematics including linear algebra, three-dimensional transformations, and numeric optimization methods is preferred, but strong desire to learn these skills can serve as a replacement for this requirement.

Responsibilities:

• Develop new customer requirements into well-architected software solutions with an eye on user experience
• Troubleshoot, test, and debug code that is not giving desired results
• Convert real-world concepts and ideas into actionable numeric algorithms in code
• Support existing long-term code bases
• Maintain or develop supporting tools such as software installers or other internal software tools
• Refactor existing code for improved maintainability
• Optimize code to improve performance or reduce computer resource use
• Work in a source-controlled team development environment, aware of the needs of teammates
• Prioritize time to focus on development goals
• May need to write software to interact with and control robots, peripherals, or portable metrology hardware devices such as probes, cameras, or other data acquisition devices
• Manage development work through a software development tracking database
• Communicate progress with product managers and make level-of-effort and timeline predictions for future development work
• Test with real-world hardware and analyze results to gauge correctness of algorithms and code
• Maintain currency with respect to technical skills by attending training classes, special technical and administration courses, independent research, seminars, exhibits and trade shows as needed
• Occasional travel to customers or face-to-face meetings with vendors or customers may be necessary

• MS or higher in Computer Science or a related discipline, or 8+ years of equivalent experience/skills
• Strong understanding of the Windows operating system ecosystem
• Fluency in Windows development: C++, Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) and Visual Studio
• Comfort with object-oriented software development techniques
• Experience with OpenGL programming
• Excellent instincts for developing a scalable and maintainable software architecture
• Strong drive to learn and self-educate
• Understanding of source control systems and agile development principles preferred
• Strong organizational skills
• Strong verbal and written communication skills
