Then you might be our future Senior Robot Motion Software Engineer.

We are currently seeking a passionate and experienced developer to join our growing global R&D organization. In this role, you will be based in India and work closely with your local teammates as well as teammates in Denmark.

Designing the future

Universal Robots is the world's market leader in cobots, making products that empower our customers and truly impact their work life positively.

• Strong proficiency in modern C++ development and solid understanding of software design, code structure, and maintainability
• Proven ability to work with legacy code, introduce unit tests, and refactor safely while preserving behavior
• A strong foundation in coding practices, including clean code, code reviews, and writing reliable, testable software
• Experience working in agile development teams
• Good communication skills and proficiency in English, including the ability to explain complex topics clearly and collaborate effectively across teams
