About the Role

We are looking for a Senior/Staff Embedded Software Engineer to lead the development and bring-up of ARM-based microcontroller platforms across our robotics products. This is a high-ownership role, directly responsible for building the low-level firmware that powers our platforms. You will design, implement, and validate firmware for motion control, sensor integration, communications, power management, and safety-critical functionality. This role comes with a strong expectation of hands-on board bring-up, low-level debugging, and cross-disciplinary collaboration with electrical and systems engineers.

Responsibilities

Own the firmware bring-up and integration for new embedded platforms (e.g. ARM Cortex-M series).
Develop and maintain bare-metal firmware and RTOS-based applications for robotic subsystems (motor control, sensors, telemetry, power systems).
Write and maintain robust, maintainable, and well-documented C/C++ code for embedded targets.
Collaborate with the electrical engineering team on hardware bring-up, schematic review, and system integration.
Lead system bringup, validation, and debug
Contribute to firmware safety, reliability, and system-level robustness.

Requirements

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
8+ years of hands-on experience in embedded systems development.
Deep expertise in bare-metal programming on ARM microcontrollers.
Strong proficiency in C/C++ for embedded targets and firmware design patterns.
Experience with hardware bring-up and low-level debugging on custom boards.
Solid understanding of digital electronics, buses (I2C, SPI, UART, CAN), and embedded peripherals.
Strong system-level thinking, with an ability to work independently and take ownership across the full development cycle.
Must be comfortable regularly exercising discretion and independent judgment in performing job duties, including evaluating options, making informed decisions, and determining appropriate courses of action within the scope of assigned responsibilities.
