Senior Embedded Systems Engineer

ROLE OVERVIEW

Hands-on senior embedded engineering role spanning firmware, embedded Linux, high-speed interfaces, electronics integration, test automation, and productization for robotics/automation systems.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Architect and develop embedded software across the full stack, from bare-metal/RTOS firmware on microcontrollers to embedded Linux on application processors, including BSPs, drivers, networking, and system services.
• Select, implement, and validate high-bandwidth digital interfaces such as MIPI CSI-2, PCIe, USB 3.x, and Gigabit Ethernet, as well as board-level buses including SPI, I2C, UART, and CAN.
• Interface with, control, and characterize lighting power electronics, including PWM/current control, strobe timing, sensor synchronization, and bench measurement of performance.
• Evaluate technical feasibility and lead engineering trade-offs across performance, cost, power, and schedule.
• Collaborate across hardware, mechanical, test, and software teams to ensure solutions meet system requirements.
• Take concepts from prototype through detailed design, verification, and handover to production.
• Establish strong engineering practices including unit and hardware-in-the-loop testing, CI, code review, and design documentation.
• Develop IP through invention disclosures and patents and mentor engineers across the team.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 4+ years of experience delivering embedded solutions in robotics, IoT, electronics, embedded systems, advanced sensing, vision, or AI/physical AI.
• Strong proficiency in embedded C/C++, Python for tooling/test automation, and Git.
• Solid experience with embedded Linux and networking, including TCP/IP, Ethernet, and time synchronization such as PTP.
• Experience developing firmware for resource-constrained devices.
• Working knowledge of electronics, including schematic reading, board bring-up with EE partners, and power electronics basics such as PWM, current regulation, and thermal limits.
• Hands-on lab skills with oscilloscopes, logic/protocol analyzers, and power measurement equipment, with awareness of signal-integrity issues on high-speed interfaces.
• Experience writing unit tests and building automated or hardware-in-the-loop test setups.
• Proven ability to take solutions from concept to launch and deliver on schedule using Agile methods and project management practices.
• Excellent communication skills and a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, Cybernetics/Robotics, Embedded Systems, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Deeper hardware experience: schematic capture and PCB layout (Altium/KiCad), LED drivers or power conversion circuits, and EMC/EMI.
• Test engineering depth: test fixtures, HIL rigs, end-of-line/production test, DVT/PVT, reliability testing, and frameworks such as pytest.
• Higher-level software exposure: edge/backend services, containers, MQTT, gRPC, ROS 2, OTA updates, secure boot, and device security.
• Domain depth in camera/sensor pipelines, machine vision, edge AI inference (GStreamer/TensorRT), or radio-based sensors such as RFID/NFC.
