About The Position

HaloBraid is redefining haircare by building the world’s first intelligent braiding robot, to reduce hair braiding appointment times from hours to minutes. We’ve proven the technology with a working prototype, completed thousands of braids in testing, and we’re nearing the end of R&D. We’re searching for an Embedded Systems Engineer (Firmware / Software / Electronics) who wants to help bring this future to life. We’re well funded by top tier hardware and consumer investors, recently closing an oversubscribed round to fuel our next stage of growth. You’ll be on the forefront of invention, taking complex mechanisms from prototype to polished product, collaborating with industrial design, and shaping an entirely new category of robotics.

Requirements

Proven experience developing embedded software in Python, C / C++
Well versed in common microcontrollers and development boards (e.g. Raspberry Pi, ARM Cortex-M, STM32, Jetson Nano, NXP, Microchip, Arduino)
Track record of contributing to a launched embedded hardware product
Practical experience with computer vision in embedded or edge environments, including camera integration and image processing (e.g., OpenCV, basic vision pipelines)
Comfortable with CNN image classification (on-device or off-device); exposure to training, fine-tuning, or evaluating models is a plus but not required
Experience in the use of wireless communication protocols
Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
Ability to work effectively in a small team

Nice To Haves

Exposure to hardware design, schematics, or PCB layout and manufacture.
Experience in the use of ROS
Familiarity with IoT or connected device workflows, and awareness of how embedded systems interface with cloud services (e.g., AWS)
Knowledge of Bluetooth / 4G / 5G communication protocols
Comfortable using CAD softwares and 3D Printing

Responsibilities

Design, develop, take ownership of the brains of our device, the embedded software that is crucial to our machine
Work closely with the team to integrate hardware electronics, PCBs to bring to life a world first
Debug and troubleshoot embedded systems, take a hands on approach to get things done
Develop and execute unit, integration, and system-level tests
Contribute to requirements definition, technical documentation, and design reviews
Support product certification and compliance activities where required (e.g. CE, EMC)
