- Strong proficiency in C and C++ for embedded programming.
- Hands-on experience developing firmware and device drivers for sensors, actuators, and compute peripherals.
- Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS) or Linux kernel/driver development.
- Familiarity with low-level communication protocols (SPI, I2C, CAN, UART, Ethernet, USB).
- Track record of shipping embedded software on robotics, autonomous systems, or other safety-critical hardware platforms.
- Ability to debug hardware/software issues using tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers.
What we’re doing isn’t easy, but nothing worth doing ever is.
We envision a future powered by robots that work seamlessly with human teams. We build artificial intelligence that enables service robots to collaborate with people and adapt to dynamic human environments. Join our mission-driven, venture-backed team as we build out current and future generations of humanoid robots.
As a Sr/Staff Embedded Software Engineer, you’ll be responsible for the low-level software that powers our robots’ sensing, actuation, and compute platforms. You’ll work across sensors, actuators, and power systems, developing firmware and drivers that integrate motors, IMUs, cameras, LIDARs, and other hardware into a cohesive robotics platform. This role spans from device firmware to operating system and driver development for primary and peripheral compute devices. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who thrives on building real systems that bridge hardware and software.
