About the role
- This is a high-ownership, hands-on role.
- You'll help define how we scale from lab prototype to deployed fleet.
Responsibilities
- Architect and develop production-grade firmware for actuator controllers, sensor interfaces, and communication subsystems on the robots
- Own hardware bring-up: write low-level peripheral drivers, validate new PCBs, and debug hardware/firmware boundary issues
- Implement and optimize motor control algorithms - torque, velocity, and position loops - on bare-metal and RTOS platforms
- Develop and maintain real-time communication stacks including EtherCAT, CAN, SPI, I2C, and UART
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test infrastructure to enable fast, reliable iteration
- participate in hardware design reviews to give firmware perspective early
- Read and interpret schematics and datasheets; participate in hardware design reviews to give firmware perspective early
Requirements
- 5+ years of embedded firmware development experience in robotics, automotive, or industrial/consumer electronics - with at least some of that in a production-deployed product
- Hands-on experience with motor control or actuator firmware (FOC, torque control, or similar)
- Proficiency with communication protocols: EtherCAT, CAN, SPI, I2C, UART - at the driver level, not just API usage
- Ability to read schematics and PCB layouts
- Experience with power electronics firmware: BMS, DC-DC converters, or charging systems
Nice to have
- Experience scaling firmware from prototype to high-volume production (hundreds to thousands of units)
- Background in functional safety (ISO 26262, IEC 62443, or equivalent)
- Python scripting for test automation and HIL frameworks
- Familiarity with EtherCAT master/slave stack implementation (SOEM or equivalent)
Company info
- Our mission is to democratize robotics by lowering the barrier to entry, delivering a plug-and-play platform for developers, researchers, and enterprises, and cultivating an open ecosystem that accelerates the evolution of physical AI.
