About the Role
Ghost Robotics is seeking an Embedded Systems Engineer focused on firmware development to address growing firmware needs across their Q-UGV platforms. This role is ideal for an engineer with professional firmware experience ready to deepen their skills under mentorship while taking ownership of firmware development. You will work on low-level firmware for embedded robotic subsystems including sensing, motor control, battery management, and high-speed communication.
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain firmware in C or C++ for embedded robotic subsystems including position sensing, motor control, battery management, and real-time control loops.
- Implement and optimize communication interfaces such as Ethernet, EtherCAT, QSPI, SPI, and I2C.
- Integrate RGB, thermal/IR, TOF, gas, audio, and other task-specific sensors into Ghost's Q-UGV platforms at the firmware layer.
- Support real-time system performance through interrupt scheduling, DMA, and RTOS-based development.
- Contribute to revision-controlled firmware codebases and participate in code reviews.
- Debug firmware issues in a systematic manner, working closely with the Senior Embedded Engineer on root cause analysis.
- Support board bring-up and hardware/software integration from the firmware side, partnering with electronics engineers who own the hardware design.
- Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to integrate embedded subsystems into full robotic platforms.
- Participate in design reviews and contribute to technical documentation.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or a related field.
- 1 to 2 years of professional experience in embedded firmware development (internship and co-op experience counts).
- Proficiency in firmware development in C or C++.
- Familiarity with the STM32 MCU family or a comparable microcontroller family.
- Demonstrated experience debugging embedded systems in a structured, systematic manner.
- Strong track record with revision control (Git or similar).
- Willingness to work closely with a senior mentor and accept direction while building independent ownership over time.
- Experience with FreeRTOS or another RTOS.
- Experience with high-speed communication protocols such as Ethernet, EtherCAT, or QSPI, and techniques to manage high data throughput (DMA, interrupt scheduling).
- Familiarity with firmware for brushless DC motor control, battery management systems, or power electronics.
- Robotics, mechatronics, or mobile robotic systems experience.
- Familiarity with reading schematics well enough to collaborate with electronics engineers on hardware integration.
- Must be able to clear standard employment background checks.
- Permanent residency required.
- Must be able to lift up to 20 pounds and work hands-on with hardware systems.
