Senior Robotics Embedded Engineer

About the role

The Senior Robotics Embedded Engineer drives hardware‑firmware integration across multiple designs. This position guides early board bring‑up, feature enablement, system integration, and test infrastructure development while collaborating closely with electrical, mechanical, and systems teams to ensure robust hardware performance.

Key responsibilities

• Lead firmware development for PCB bring‑up, including power‑on validation, peripheral testing, and interface bring‑up.
• Architect and implement low‑level drivers, diagnostic tools, and early‑stage test utilities for new hardware platforms.
• Develop measurement, monitoring, and logging capabilities to assess hardware performance and reliability.
• Partner with the hardware team to troubleshoot component, signal‑integrity, and interface issues.
• Own creation and maintenance of test firmware, automation scripts, and engineering validation tools.
• Oversee configuration, execution, and debugging of hardware test benches, fixtures, and development platforms.
• Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and guidance in root‑cause analysis for hardware‑firmware interaction issues.

Required profile

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline.
• 7+ years of experience developing embedded firmware in C/C++, Python, and Bash.
• Expertise with Linux and RTOS‑based systems.
• Strong understanding of real‑time behavior, system bring‑up, and low‑level hardware interfaces.
• Proficiency with CAN, UART, I2C, SPI, Ethernet, and related communication protocols.
• Hands‑on experience with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG, and hardware debugging tools.
• Background in robotics, consumer electronics, or complex electromechanical systems.
