Embedded Firmware Engineer – Robotics

Responsibilities • Design, develop and test real-time firmware in C/C++ for controllers, sensors and power-management systems. • Develop and maintain embedded Linux components including kernel configuration, device drivers, device trees and board support packages. • Support new board bring-up from initial power-on through subsystem validation and integration. • Develop communication interfaces between embedded controllers and higher-level compute systems, including bus scheduling and time synchronisation. • Build and maintain bootloader, flashing and firmware-update processes across embedded hardware. • Integrate sensors and interfaces such as IMUs, encoders, force-torque sensors and camera systems with reliable timing and data handling. • Implement safety, monitoring and fault-handling mechanisms including watchdogs, limits and graceful failure behaviour. • Diagnose hardware-software issues using oscilloscopes, logic analysers, JTAG/SWD and bus analysers while developing automated firmware testing. Requirements • At least 3 years of hands-on firmware or embedded software engineering experience working with production or real-world hardware. • Strong C/C++ skills in real-time or resource-constrained systems, with Python experience for tooling, testing or automation advantageous. • Hands-on embedded Linux experience covering areas such as device drivers, device trees, cross-compilation, BSP development, Yocto or Buildroot. • Strong hardware-integration fundamentals including interfaces such as SPI, I2C, CAN and UART, with confidence reading schematics and debugging embedded systems. Experience with robotics, motor-control firmware, RTOS platforms such as Zephyr or FreeRTOS, ROS 2, hardware-in-the-loop testing, secure boot or firmware-update infrastructure would be advantageous.
