About the Role
We are building a helpful robot for every home. Our team is composed of engineers, designers, and operators from top companies like Tesla, Cruise, OpenAI, Google, and Pixar. We foster a lean, high-intensity environment that promotes rapid decision-making, massive scope, radical ownership, and fast execution across the entire technology stack.
Responsibilities
- Architect and build embedded systems for sensing, actuation, communication, and safety functions.
- Define scalable firmware and system architectures.
- Own products from board bring-up through system integration, validation, manufacturing ramp, and production.
- Develop real-time firmware for robotic actuators, sensors, communications, and power systems.
- Build drivers and interfaces for ADCs, timers, PWM, DMA, SPI, I²C, UART, CAN, and other peripherals.
- Integrate encoders, force sensors, IMUs, current sensors, cameras, and other feedback devices.
- Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, controls, ML, test, and manufacturing engineers.
- Investigate hardware and firmware failures, manufacturing yield issues, and field reliability problems.
Requirements
- Strong embedded programming skills in C, C++, or Rust.
- Experience developing firmware for microcontrollers in bare-metal or RTOS environments.
- Strong understanding of interrupts, timing, concurrency, memory constraints, and real-time behavior.
- Experience bringing up custom hardware and debugging across firmware, electronics, and physical systems.
- Ability to read schematics, PCB layouts, and component datasheets.
- Familiarity with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, debuggers, and data-logging tools.
- Experience supporting physical products through validation, manufacturing ramp, or volume production.
- Strong ownership and ability to collaborate across engineering, manufacturing, and supplier teams.
- Hands-on NPI experience taking embedded products through EVT, DVT, and PVT into mass production.
- Experience working directly with contract manufacturers, joint development manufacturers, or original design manufacturers.
- Experience developing factory programming, calibration, functional-test, and end-of-line test systems.
- Motor-control experience, including FOC, actuators, closed-loop control, or power electronics.
- Experience integrating production camera pipelines, including MIPI CSI-2, GMSL, ISP configuration and tuning, camera synchronization, and hardware-accelerated video encoding or compression.
- Experience with bootloaders, secure provisioning, firmware updates, production release management, or HIL testing.
