Embedded Software Engineer – Autonomous Mobile Robots

About the role

The Embedded Software Engineer designs, develops, tests and supports embedded software for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) used in warehouse and industrial environments. The role covers robot control, sensing, communications, diagnostics and hardware integration, within a cross-functional robotics engineering team.

Key responsibilities

• Develop embedded software for robot motion control, sensor integration, power management, communications, diagnostics, telemetry and safety monitoring, optimized for real-time and resource-constrained systems.
• Build software for autonomous robot operation, including LiDAR, cameras, IMUs, motor controllers, battery management, wireless links (4G/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth), OTA updates and navigation and autonomy features.
• Work with Electrical and Mechanical teams on drivers, interfaces and board bring-up, and support prototype development through production release.
• Implement monitoring, fault detection and recovery, and support root cause analysis of failures.
• Run unit, integration and system tests, support HIL validation, and build tools that improve testability and observability.

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics or a related field.
• 3+ years of professional embedded software development experience.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills, and ability to work in cross-functional teams.

Required skills

• C and C++
• Embedded Linux
• Real-time systems, multithreading and concurrency
• UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, Ethernet
