About The Position

We’re seeking a Senior Electrical/Firmware Engineer to design the electronics and embedded systems that power advanced robotics, automation, and experimental tooling. You’ll own board design, sensor/actuator integration, motor drivers, safety circuits, and real-time firmware for deterministic, reliable operation. This is a hands-on role with deep ownership across hardware bring-up, embedded software architecture, debugging, and system integration.

Requirements

• Strong experience designing and bringing up embedded hardware: schematics, layout, power systems, sensors, and motor/actuator interfaces.
• Demonstrated ability to write robust firmware for real-time control on MCUs (e.g., STM32, ESP32, PIC, Nordic, TI).
• Hands-on debugging skills across oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG/SWD, signal integrity, and system-level integration.
• Comfortable working across hardware and firmware boundaries in fast-moving, interdisciplinary engineering environments.

Responsibilities

• Design PCBs, power systems, sensor interfaces, motor drivers, and embedded control electronics for robotic and automation systems.
• Develop real-time firmware for MCUs, integrating sensors, actuators, communication buses, and safety interlocks.
• Handle bring-up, debugging, calibration, and reliability testing of electromechanical subsystems.
• Collaborate closely with mechanical, robotics, and automation engineers to build robust, production-ready electromechanical systems.
