Senior Robotics Firmware Engineer

What you'll do

• Design firmware for motor and actuator control, sensor integration, and safe operation; own low-level communications between microcontrollers, peripherals, and higher-level compute.
• Integrate firmware with hardware, improve control performance, and debug issues across development, HIL testing, and production.
• Lead embedded-systems design decisions, mentor colleagues, and help triage production issues, including through an on-call rotation.

What they ask for

• 4+ years of firmware or embedded systems engineering experience building production robotics or automation systems.
• Strong proficiency in at least one of Rust, C, or C++; experience developing for microcontrollers with real-time constraints.
• Experience integrating firmware with sensors, actuators, and communication buses such as CAN, SPI, I²C, and UART.
• Bachelor, Master, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, or a related engineering field.

Nice to have

• Exposure to warehousing, manufacturing, or logistics automation; experience with multi-DOF robotics systems.
• Experience with motor control techniques or functional-safety standards and safe design.
