·         Participation in Agile-based team software product development.

·         Mentoring less experienced developers in best-practices of software engineering.

·         Willing to learn robotics domain knowledge pertinent to development tasks (robotics terminology, programming, use of hardware product line, familiarization with application vertical requirements)

·         Creation of end-user and developer documentation (architecture designs and dev-guides)

·         Learning new tools and technologies as appropriate.

·         Infrequent domestic and possibly international travel may be required.
