Embedded Systems Engineer (Senior)

Responsibilities

• Own the architecture, development, and optimization of low-level C/C++ firmware across our robotic platforms
• Drive the embedded development roadmap, aligning priorities, distributing work, and ensuring timely delivery across the team
• Design and implement firmware for motion control, sensing, power systems, communication, and safety-critical components
• Establish scalable and maintainable firmware architectures with a strong focus on reliability, performance, and production readiness
• Define and implement robust testing strategies (e.g. HIL, automated regression, fault injection)
• Collaborate closely with electrical, mechanical, autonomy, and cloud teams to define system interfaces and requirements
• Lead and mentor engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and hands-on technical leadership
• Support the transition from prototype to production, ensuring systems are robust, safe, and manufacturable

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Computer Science, or a related field
• 6+ years of experience in embedded systems development (robotics, automotive, aerospace, or similar)
• Solid experience with RTOS and embedded Linux, with Zephyr RTOS strongly preferred
• Proven ability to mentor and guide engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and technical leadership
• Expert-level C/C++ for embedded systems, with strong understanding of real-time behavior and system constraints
• Strong experience with ARM-based MCUs/MPUs
• Proven experience building and deploying embedded systems in real-world or production environments
• Strong system-level thinking across hardware–software interactions
• Ownership mindset with the ability to operate autonomously and drive outcomes in a fast-moving environment

Nice to have

• Experience with ROS/ROS2 or robotic middleware
• Experience with functional safety or safety-critical systems (e.g. ISO 26262, IEC 61508)
• Experience with bootloaders, BSPs, and secure firmware updates
• Contributions to embedded or robotics open-source projects
