Embedded Software Engineer, Robotics

Responsibilities

Embedded Development: Design, develop, and maintain embedded software for wearable robotics, including system software, RTOS, bootloaders, and Built-In Self-Test (BIST) software.

System Architecture & Coding

Lead the system architecture design of the overall product firmware, write core code, and ensure the delivery of high-quality, safety-critical software solutions.

Hardware Integration

Collaborate tightly with hardware engineers to integrate software with complex hardware components, including motor controllers, sensors, and communication interfaces.

System-Level Validation

Design and build advanced test frameworks and use cases to verify hardware/software integration. Implement rigorous test plans across all phases of the software development lifecycle to identify and resolve complex system defects.

Code Quality & CI/CD

Organize and lead code reviews, manage merge conflicts, and maintain repository health. Implement and optimize CI/CD pipelines and automated testing.

Production Support

Architect and maintain production-line testing software. Optimize mass-production test workflows and provide software-perspective insights to hardware teams during cross-departmental troubleshooting.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Documentation

Work seamlessly with mechanical engineers, algorithm developers, and product managers. Create comprehensive technical documentation, including design specs, test plans, and user manuals, ensuring smooth knowledge transfer.

Requirements

Required Qualification Education & Experience: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, with 3+ years of embedded software development experience.

Programming

High proficiency in C/C++ and Object-Oriented Design for embedded systems.

Embedded Platforms

Hands-on experience with Microcontrollers/Microprocessors, particularly ARM Cortex-M series and ESP32.

RTOS & Architecture

Strong understanding of RTOS concepts, multi-tasking software development, and multi-core/multi-processor systems.

Hardware Knowledge

Ability to read electronic schematics and deeply understand chip architecture (instruction optimization, memory access, fixed-point math, and pipelining).

Protocols

Familiarity with communication protocols (SPI, UART, CAN, I2C, Ethernet).

Tools

Proficiency with hardware debugging tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers) and engineering tools (Git, Git workflows).

Soft Skills

• Strong logical analysis, systematic thinking, and a self-motivated initiative to get things done with minimal supervision.
• Preferred Skills Robotics/Wearables: Experience developing firmware for wearable robotics, consumer electronics, or high-volume manufacturing products.

Test Automation & DevOps

Experience with DevOps pipelines for robotics, CI/CD, and designing automated test architecture.

IDEs & Environments

Experience with ESP32 development environments and IDEs like Keil uVision, STM32 CubeIDE, or PSOC Creator.

Advanced Hardware Skills

Knowledge of microcontroller I/O, A2D, power configurations, memory-mapped peripherals, and RF communications.

Tooling Development

Experience in Windows/Linux tools development to support testing and diagnostics.

Motor Control

Deep knowledge of BLDC Motor Control (FOC and/or Trapezoidal, sensored/sensorless) and the ability to tune control logic for specific use cases.
