Description

What You’ll Do:Embedded Firmware DevelopmentDevelop embedded firmware for custom robotic and electromechanical systems
Write, test, and debug real-time software for microcontrollers and embedded processors
Implement state machines, fault handling, safety logic, telemetry, and system monitoring
Controls & Precision MotionDesign and implement closed-loop control algorithms for motors and other actuators
Develop position, velocity, torque, and motion-control functionality
Tune control parameters and characterize system performance under changing loads and external disturbances
Hardware & Sensor IntegrationIntegrate encoders, limit sensors, IMUs, motor controllers, and other embedded hardware
Develop reliable communication between embedded controllers and higher-level computing systems
Debug hardware/software interactions using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, debuggers, and telemetry
Support system bring-up and diagnose electrical, firmware, sensing, and actuator issues
Reliability & TestingDevelop firmware for systems that must operate repeatedly and reliably in real-world environments
Implement fault detection, recovery behavior, and safe operating limits
Build test procedures and tools to validate controls and embedded-system performance
Perform bench, integration, and field testing and drive issues through root-cause resolution
Cross-Functional IntegrationCollaborate with electrical, mechanical, autonomy, and flight-controls engineers to integrate complete robotic systems
Support rapid prototype iteration and transition embedded systems toward field-ready operation
Contribute to overall system architecture and technical decisions
What You’ll Need:Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, or related field
Strong programming skills in C/C++ and experience developing firmware for microcontrollers or embedded systems
Solid understanding of feedback control systems

Core Engineering SkillsExperience controlling motors or other electromechanical actuators
Strong understanding of:
Real-time embedded systems and timing-sensitive applications
Position, velocity, and closed-loop motion control
Embedded communication protocols such as CAN, UART, SPI, I²C, or Ethernet
Sensor integration, fault handling, and hardware/software interfaces

Hands-On ExperienceReading schematics and debugging embedded electronics and physical hardware
Using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, debuggers, and telemetry to diagnose system behavior
Taking embedded systems from prototype through robust field testing
Preferred Qualifications:Experience with STM32 or similar microcontrollers
Experience with encoders, system identification, trajectory generation, or advanced control techniques
Familiarity with PX4, MAVLink, ROS/ROS 2, or similar robotics ecosystems
Experience with BLDC/PMSM motor control, ESCs, servo systems, or precision actuators
Experience with robotics, drones, aerospace, automotive, industrial automation, or other safety-critical electromechanical systems
