Full description
We are looking for a hands-on, Embedded Software Engineer to join our core R&D team. In this role, you will be actively developing, debugging, and integrating software across different environments. writing C/C++ firmware for microcontrollers (MCUs) as well as C++ applications running in Embedded Linux User-Space. You will play a key role in building central robotic logic, communication bridges, and ensuring our autonomous platform operates reliably and on schedule.
Key Responsibilities:
- Dual-Environment Development: Write, debug, and maintain software for both MCU firmware (bare-metal/RTOS) and Embedded Linux User-Space applications.
- Robotic Logic & Motion Control: Implement state machines, system logic, and behavioral execution of the robot.
- Communication Infrastructure: Design and implement reliable communication protocols connecting MCUs to the Linux host board.
- System Integration & Debugging: Perform end-to-end integration on physical target hardware using standard software diagnostics to isolate and resolve system-level issues.
Requirements
- B.Sc. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- 5+ years of hands-on embedded development experience in C and C++.
- Proven Fast Learner & Adaptability: Ability to quickly dive into an existing, complex codebase, understand the architecture, and become productive.
- Development & Integration Capabilities: Practical experience developing and debugging software across MCU environments (STM32, ESP32, Cortex-M / RTOS) and/or Embedded Linux User-Space.
- Engineering Excellence & Ownership: High standards for code quality, strong sense of ownership, and a track record of delivering reliable software on schedule.
- Teamwork & Cross-Functional Collaboration: Excellent communication skills with a proven ability to collaborate closely with team members, System Engineering, Hardware, and Integration teams.
Advantages (Nice to Have):
- Experience with robotics frameworks such as ROS / ROS 2.
- Practical experience with standard serial protocols and diagnostics tools (CAN bus, UART, SPI, I2C, gdb, Wireshark, candump).
- Scripting capabilities in Python for internal test automation
