About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Embedded Systems / Firmware Engineer to join our Humanoid Robotics R&D; team. The candidate will be responsible for designing, developing, integrating, and optimizing embedded firmware and low-level software for advanced robotic systems.
The role involves close collaboration with Electronics, Robotics, Controls, Mechanical, AI/ML, and Software teams to develop reliable and high-performance embedded systems for humanoid robots.
Key Responsibilities
Design, develop, test, debug, and maintain embedded firmware for humanoid robotic systems.
Develop robust and effective firmware using Embedded C/C++.
Work with microcontrollers, processors, sensors, actuators, motor controllers, and embedded peripherals.
Develop firmware for robot joints, actuators, motor control systems, sensor interfaces, and robotic subsystems.
Implement real-time embedded applications using RTOS.
Develop and integrate communication interfaces such as CAN/CAN-FD, UART, SPI, I2C, RS485, Ethernet, and EtherCAT.
Interface and communicate with BLDC/servo motors, encoders,
IMUs, force/torque sensors, current sensors, position sensors, and other robotic sensors.
Develop and integrate motor control and actuator control firmware.
Perform hardware bring-up, board-level debugging, and firmware validation.
Analyze and resolve hardware-software integration issues.
Optimize firmware for real-time performance, memory utilization, CPU usage, power consumption, and system reliability.
Develop device drivers, peripheral interfaces, communication stacks, and low-level firmware modules.
Work on interrupts, timers, DMA, ADC, PWM, GPIO, watchdogs, and other MCU peripherals.
Implement error handling, diagnostics, fault detection, and safety mechanisms.
Perform firmware testing, unit testing, integration testing, and system-level validation.
Use debugging tools such as JTAG/SWD, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, and debuggers.
