Embedded Systems Engineer, Robotics

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Bringing up, validating, and debugging new PCBs: reading schematics and layouts, measuring signals, and isolating hardware vs. software faults
• Developing firmware for MCUs (bare-metal and RTOS) and drivers for embedded Linux platforms (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson / Orin)
• Writing and maintaining device drivers and communication stacks for CAN/CAN FD, EtherCAT, I2C, SPI, UART, and Ethernet
• Integrating camera and sensor pipelines over GMSL (serializer/deserializer configuration, device trees, V4L2 drivers, timing and synchronization)
• Bringing up and tuning EtherCAT and CAN networks across actuators, sensors, and power systems for deterministic, real-time performance
• Debugging signal-integrity, power, timing, and bus-level issues with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers
• Contributing firmware and software input during schematic and PCB design reviews to make boards easier to bring up, test, and debug
• Building diagnostics, test fixtures, and automated hardware-in-the-loop tests for boards and subsystems

Job requirements

• 3+ years of professional experience in embedded systems in robotics, automotive, industrial automation, or complex consumer electronics
• Strong C and C++ skills for firmware and driver development; working knowledge of Python for tooling and test automation
• Hands-on board bring-up experience, including reading schematics, PCB layouts, datasheets, and timing diagrams
• Driver-level experience with several of: CAN/CAN FD, EtherCAT, I2C, SPI, UART, Ethernet
• Experience with MCU firmware (ARM Cortex-M, STM32, TI C2000, or similar) on bare-metal or RTOS platforms
• Comfort with embedded debugging and lab tools: JTAG/SWD debuggers, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers
• Systematic debugging skills across the hardware, firmware, and software boundary
• Strong communication skills and comfort working directly with electrical, mechanical, controls, and software engineers
