Job Description

About the job Embedded Firmware Engineer


Duties and Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain firmware on STM32 / TI / Renesas MCU platforms
• Implement and debug low-level drivers (ADC, GPIO, PWM, SPI, I2C, UART, DMA, Timers)
• Support PCB bring-up, board validation, and hardware debugging
• Develop and optimize communication stacks (CAN, CANFD, Ethernet, Modbus, etc.)
• Write clean, maintainable C/C++ for real-time embedded systems
• Diagnose hardware and firmware integration issues
• Collaborate closely with hardware and controls engineers
• Develop internal tools and test scripts (Python preferred)
• Support firmware release cycles, regression testing, and documentation
• Contribute to code reviews and design discussions
• Design and implement firmware architectures that support scalable multi-actuator robotic systems
• Develop robust communication interfaces between embedded firmware and high-level SDK layers
• Define and maintain firmware-to-host communication protocols and command abstractions
• Support kinematics-related data exchange and synchronization across distributed nodes
• Ensure deterministic timing and low-latency communication across robotic joints
• Participate in system-level debugging across firmware, SDK, and control layers
• Optimize performance for multi-joint coordination and synchronized actuation

• B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field
• 3-5 years of embedded firmware experience
• Strong proficiency in C (C++ a plus)
• Hands-on experience with MCU peripherals and low-level driver development
• Experience with board bring-up and debugging tools (oscilloscope, logic analyzer, JTAG)
• Experience with real-time systems
• Basic understanding of industrial communication protocols
• Experience developing firmware for robotic systems, motor controllers, or multi-axis motion platforms
• Understanding of motor control fundamentals (FOC, PID control, current/velocity/position loops)
• Experience working with CAN-based multi-node robotic architectures
• Familiarity with ROS / ROS2 or robotics middleware is a plus
• Experience designing clean, stable SDK APIs for hardware abstraction
• Familiarity with CI/CD workflows for embedded systems
• Experience writing Python scripts for automation or testing preferred
• Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced environment

• Tackle real-time systems, high-performance control, and multi-sensor fusion
• Join a high-ownership, fast-paced startup environment
• Contribute to true 0-to-1 development of next-generation robotics
