Job Title: Junior Software/Firmware Developer
Company Name: Iris Dynamics, Ltd.
Location: 3948 Quadra St, Victoria BC, V8X1J6.
About Iris Dynamics:
Iris Dynamics is the industry leader in innovative force-controlled magnetic linear motors with a diverse application across sectors such as aerospace, mining, testing and measurement, industrial automation, and VR simulation and entertainment. At Iris Dynamics, we're not just engineers and innovators; we are pioneers crafting the future of motion technology.
ORCA motors are linear tubular motor systems including magnetics, power drivers, sensor arrays, and control logic/feedback. Our motors break from traditional systems by tightly integrating all system level components into a single package. This allows for low latency control loops and high bandwidth control over the forces and positions of the device in a way that can be highly transparent to customers and more simple to install and maintain than incumbents. This allows our customers to focus on higher level problems while fully leveraging the advantages of linear tubular geometries.
