Rust Software Engineer - Industrial Automation (all genders)

<div class="content-intro"><p><strong>About The Company</strong></p> <p>GROPYUS is a technology-based construction company focused on building multi-story residential buildings. Thanks to its prefabricated building system with a wide range of design options, automated offsite construction, and fully digitalized processes, the company is able to create resilient timber housing quickly and cost-effectively. GROPYUS is using scalable construction and manufacturing solutions to tap into a future market, strengthen Europe’s innovation capacity, and play a substantial role in improving sustainability. The company delivers its multi-family houses as a complete and turnkey solution. The combination of technology, construction, robotics, and manufacturing expertise means buildings can be created in a fully digitalized end-to-end process. The building system is based on versatile wall and slab elements, making it easier to optimize land use, customize plans, and build fast with both off-site construction and on-site assembly. This system is complemented by the Building Operating System–developed in-house.</p></div><h2><span style="font-size: 14pt;">About the Role</span></h2> <div> <p><span data-contrast="auto">You will join the </span><strong><span data-contrast="auto">Machine Integration &amp; Simulation</span></strong><span data-contrast="auto"> team, building the software platform that powers our machines, robots, and manufacturing systems.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:2,&quot;335559740&quot;:300}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">Teams at GROPYUS own what they build, including architecture, testing, deployment, monitoring, and operations.
