About the Role

You will design, implement, and optimize embedded software for robotic platforms used in automation and field deployment. The work includes real-time control loops, sensor/actuator integration, robotics middleware (ROS/ROS 2), and reliability improvements through profiling, testing, and telemetry. You will support end-to-end delivery from prototype bring-up to production releases, working closely with electrical, mechanical, controls, and perception teams.

What You Will Do

Develop embedded firmware and robotics software in C/C++ for MCUs and Linux-based compute modules. Build and maintain device drivers and hardware interfaces (CAN, UART, SPI, I2C, GPIO) for sensors and actuators. Implement and tune real-time control loops (PID, feedforward), motion planning interfaces, and safety interlocks. Integrate with ROS 2 nodes, topics, services, and lifecycle management for robust deployment. Improve autonomy performance using sensor fusion, state estimation (Kalman filtering), and timing analysis. Create automated tests (unit, integration, HIL) and maintain CI/CD pipelines for repeatable releases. Diagnose field issues using logs, traces, GDB/JTAG, and performance profiling; drive root-cause fixes.

Required Qualifications

Mid-Senior experience in embedded systems or robotics engineering with production delivery. Strong C/C++ skills and experience with real-time systems (RTOS or real-time Linux concepts). Proven experience integrating sensors/actuators and writing or maintaining device drivers. Familiarity with ROS or ROS 2 development workflows and robotics software architecture. Comfortable with debugging tools (GDB, JTAG), version control (Git), and automated testing.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with robotics autonomy stacks (SLAM, localization, mapping) and sensor fusion pipelines. Hands-on experience with motion control, kinematics, and calibration in real robots. Exposure to simulation tools (Gazebo/Ignition), hardware-in-the-loop testing, and telemetry/observability. Knowledge of functional safety concepts and robotics safety standards relevant to deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: What is an Embedded Robotics Engineer?

    An Embedded Robotics Engineer builds software close to the hardware for robots, including firmware, device drivers, real-time control loops, and middleware integration (often ROS/ROS 2). The goal is reliable sensor/actuator behavior, deterministic timing, and safe operation in real environments.

  • Q: Is this role remote and full-time?

    Yes. This posting is explicitly Remote and FULL_TIME, aligned with the job metadata and the hiring intent for Embedded Robotics Engineer jobs in the US.

  • Q: What tech stack is most relevant for Embedded Robotics Engineer jobs?

    Common requirements include Embedded C/C++, Linux, RTOS concepts, ROS 2, sensor/actuator buses (CAN, UART, SPI, I2C), debugging tools (GDB/JTAG), control systems (PID), and testing/CI for production deployments.

  • Q: How do ROS and ROS 2 relate to embedded robotics?

    ROS/ROS 2 provides standardized communication patterns, lifecycle management, and tooling for robotics software. Embedded robotics work often bridges MCU firmware and Linux/ROS 2 compute, ensuring timing, reliability, and safe interfaces between low-level control and higher-level autonomy.

  • Q: What kinds of robotics domains are covered?

    Embedded Robotics Engineer jobs often span automation robotics, AMRs, industrial robotics, manipulation, and edge autonomy. Depending on the employer, you may interface with perception (computer vision), localization (SLAM), and safety systems.

  • Q: What should I highlight in my application?

    Highlight shipped robotics systems, real-time constraints you handled, hardware interfaces you integrated, reliability improvements (testing/HIL, telemetry), ROS 2 contributions, and examples of debugging complex sensor/actuator issues from logs and traces to root cause.
