Duties and Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain firmware on STM32 / TI / Renesas MCU platforms
  • Implement and debug low-level drivers (ADC, GPIO, PWM, SPI, I2C, UART, DMA, Timers)
  • Support PCB bring-up, board validation, and hardware debugging
  • Develop and optimize communication stacks (CAN, CANFD, Ethernet, Modbus, etc.)
  • Write clean, maintainable C/C++ for real-time embedded systems
  • Diagnose hardware and firmware integration issues
  • Collaborate closely with hardware and controls engineers
  • Develop internal tools and test scripts (Python preferred)
  • Support firmware release cycles, regression testing, and documentation
  • Contribute to code reviews and design discussions
  • Design and implement firmware architectures that support scalable multi-actuator robotic systems
  • Develop robust communication interfaces between embedded firmware and high-level SDK layers
  • Define and maintain firmware-to-host communication protocols and command abstractions
  • Support kinematics-related data exchange and synchronization across distributed nodes
  • Ensure deterministic timing and low-latency communication across robotic joints
  • Participate in system-level debugging across firmware, SDK, and control layers
  • Optimize performance for multi-joint coordination and synchronized actuation

Qualifications

  • B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field
  • 3–5 years of embedded firmware experience
  • Strong proficiency in C (C++ a plus)
  • Hands-on experience with MCU peripherals and low-level driver development
  • Experience with board bring-up and debugging tools (oscilloscope, logic analyzer, JTAG)
  • Experience with real-time systems
  • Basic understanding of industrial communication protocols
  • Experience developing firmware for robotic systems, motor controllers, or multi-axis motion platforms
  • Understanding of motor control fundamentals (FOC, PID control, current/velocity/position loops)
  • Experience working with CAN-based multi-node robotic architectures
  • Familiarity with ROS / ROS2 or robotics middleware is a plus
  • Experience designing clean, stable SDK APIs for hardware abstraction
  • Familiarity with CI/CD workflows for embedded systems
  • Experience writing Python scripts for automation or testing preferred
  • Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced environment
