About Asiacruit At Asiacruit, we connect top talent with forward-thinking organizations across industries. Our mission is to help businesses grow through smart, strategic, and people-focused solutions. We support companies by providing high-quality talent for local and global markets. Position Overview We are looking for a ROS 2 Firmware Engineer to develop real-time embedded firmware and low-latency communication systems for advanced robotic platforms. You will work at the intersection of embedded software, robotics middleware, motor control interfaces, and real-time operating systems. Your primary focus will be developing firmware for joint actuators and sensor acquisition, implementing deterministic communication over industrial fieldbuses, and ensuring reliable communication between low-level hardware and the robot's onboard computing system. This role requires strong hands-on expertise in embedded C/C++, microcontrollers, real-time communication protocols, and Linux-based robotic systems. Key Responsibilities Develop embedded C/C++ firmware for STM32 and ARM Cortex microcontrollers used in robotic actuation and sensor acquisition. Implement and maintain firmware using micro-ROS, FreeRTOS, or bare-metal embedded architectures. Develop deterministic, high-speed motor communication interfaces using CAN-FD, CANopen, and EtherCAT. Optimize communication and control data exchange to support high-frequency robotic control loops operating above 500 Hz. Configure, maintain, and optimize PREEMPT_RT real-time Linux kernels on onboard control computers to minimize latency and scheduling jitter. Develop and maintain low-level device drivers and hardware interfaces that connect actuators, sensors, and embedded computing systems. Integrate embedded firmware with ROS 2-based robotic software architectures. Implement hardware diagnostics, fault detection, and automated emergency-stop (E-stop) mechanisms to improve system safety and reliability. Develop power-management and hardware monitoring firmware for robotic subsystems. Troubleshoot communication failures,



timing inconsistencies, and hardware-software integration issues across the robotic platform. Collaborate with robotics controls, hardware integration, and edge systems engineers to support reliable end-to-end system operation. Qualifications Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Embedded Systems, Robotics, or a related technical field. Approximately 3–5 years of relevant experience in embedded firmware development, robotics software, or real-time systems. Strong proficiency in embedded C/C++ programming, including bare-metal and FreeRTOS-based development. Hands-on experience with STM32, ARM Cortex microcontrollers, or comparable embedded hardware platforms. Practical experience with industrial communication protocols, particularly EtherCAT, CAN-FD, or CANopen. Familiarity with EtherCAT implementations such as SOEM or SOES is an advantage. Experience with micro-ROS and integration between embedded devices and ROS 2 systems. Understanding of Linux device drivers, real-time Linux, and PREEMPT_RT kernel configuration. Knowledge of deterministic communication, control-loop timing, interrupt handling, and latency optimization. Experience integrating motor controllers, joint actuators, sensors, or other robotic hardware components. Familiarity with hardware diagnostics, fault handling, emergency-stop mechanisms, and embedded power management is a plus. Strong debugging and problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate complex hardware-software integration issues. Why Join? Work on advanced robotics platforms involving embedded systems, real-time firmware, and hardware integration. Develop low-level software that enables accurate and reliable robotic motion. Solve challenging engineering problems involving deterministic communication, control-loop timing, and hardware reliability. Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across robotics, embedded computing, and motion control. Contribute to the development of intelligent robotic systems designed for demanding real-world environments. Work Location & Arrangement On-site at the robotics R&D; facility in New Delhi, India.
