APPLY NOW (opens in a new tab)Firmware / Embedded Systems Engineer - Robotics Want your firmware to bring real robots to life, from humanoids to quadrupeds to warehouse systems? I'm partnering with one of the best-funded robotics AI companies in the world. They're building a general-purpose AI brain that can run on any robot, and their team includes world-class robotics researchers and engineers from top robotics programmes and hardware companies.
What You'll Do:
- Write firmware for BLDC motor control (FOC, PWM, current and position control) on microcontrollers and embedded LinuxDesign, debug and integrate CAN, RS-485, SPI and UART communication
- Build real-time systems on FreeRTOS, RT Linux or VxWorksBring up new PCBAs with the hardware team and integrate them into robots
- Connect firmware to ROS/DDS so robots communicate seamlessly
What We're Looking For:
- 3 - 10 years of firmware or embedded experience in C/C++ for motor control or robotics
- Hands-on BLDC motor control experience, including FOC and PWM (this is essential)
- Real-time embedded experience and confidence with low-level protocols
- A degree in electrical engineering, robotics or mechatronics
- You're comfortable in a hardware lab and thrive without heavy process
Bonus:
robotics startup experience, PCBA bring-up, ROS or DDSWhy JoinReal hardware: your firmware runs on physical robots, not just in research
Scale and backing: over $1B in funding means you can prototype aggressively and ship
Direct access: no middle management, and you work directly with the founders
Ability over pedigree: they care about what you've built, not where you studied
