We are building the next generation of human robots designed to safely and intelligently work alongside people. As an Embedded Software Engineer, you will be at the heart of developing core real-time operating systems, data networks, protocols, and foundational software subsystems that power advanced robotic platforms.
You will design and deliver high-integrity, safety‑critical software that enables precise, high‑fidelity robotic control and safe human‑robot collaboration. This is a high‑impact role offering full ownership of new systems and direct contribution to future products.
- Design & Build Embedded Software: Develop and validate embedded software that meets stringent safety, reliability, and real‑time performance requirements.
- Hardware & Software Integration: Integrate sensors, actuators, and computing platforms into robust, fault‑tolerant robotic systems.
- Develop Safety‑Critical Systems: Architect and implement safety‑critical software stacks enabling robots to operate safely in human environments.
- Lead Cross‑Functional Projects: Drive interdisciplinary initiatives across perception, controls, computing, and software teams.
- System Testing & Validation: Integrate new systems onto physical robots and validate performance and safety in real‑world conditions.
- Build R&D Infrastructure: Contribute to tools, workflows, and engineering practices within a small, agile R&D team.
- Advance Robotic Safety & Performance: Help push the boundaries of real‑time performance and safety for human‑centric robotic systems.
- 5+ years of experience in C/C++ and embedded systems development.
- Proven delivery of safety‑critical software (robotics, autonomous vehicles, ADAS, medical devices, or similar).
- Strong experience with RTOS, time‑sensitive control systems, and real‑time networking.
- Expertise in sensor integration (cameras, LiDAR, radar, IMUs).
- Experience building or modifying Linux kernels and developing device drivers.
- Experience deploying EtherCAT on custom hardware.
- Familiarity with functional safety standards (IEC 61508, ISO 26262).
- Background in humanoid robotics or complex electromechanical systems.
- Work on cutting‑edge humanoid robotics with real‑world impact.
- Own mission‑critical systems from concept through deployment.
- Collaborate with exceptional engineers across robotics, controls, and AI.
- Help shape the future of safe human‑robot collaboration.
