Software Integration Engineer - Automation & Robotics

Exotec designs elegant, plug-and-play, and reliable end-to-end warehouse robotics solutions. As a leading original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and integrator, we support some of the world’s most iconic brands in their transition to automation. We’re proud to design technology that doesn’t just redefine intralogistics, it also makes warehouses safer, faster, more efficient, and less physically demanding for the people working inside them.

Why this role matters:

Our Software Integration team serves as the technical bridge between software and robotics, working directly on customer-facing integration projects to ensure Exotec's automation platform communicates seamlessly with the systems that power modern warehouse operations, from testing and deployment through go-live.

Responsibilities

• Participate in the analysis of customer business and software requirements and contribute to the development of scalable integration solutions.
• Design, develop, test, and troubleshoot APIs, interfaces, data flows, and middleware components supporting warehouse automation deployments.
• Create and maintain software development specifications, technical documentation, and functional analyses describing system behavior and integration workflows.
• Support integration testing, system validation, user acceptance testing (UAT), and go-live activities to ensure successful software deployments.
• Collaborate closely with hardware, systems, field commissioning, project management, and customer teams to ensure seamless end-to-end system integration.
• Perform root cause analysis and troubleshoot issues spanning software, databases, APIs, messaging systems, and warehouse automation environments.
• Review functional requirements and technical specifications to ensure quality, maintainability, and alignment with customer needs.
• Support the handoff of new software functionality and integrations to operational, support, and customer teams.
• Participate in customer-facing meetings, workshops, testing sessions, and deployment activities throughout the project lifecycle.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives focused on software quality, deployment processes, testing practices, and engineering standards.
• Provide on-site support at customer warehouse locations across North America as required.
• Demonstrate Exotec's values and contribute positively to our collaborative engineering culture.
