Embedded Software Engineer, Robotics

The first 12 weeks are a structured handover. You learn the existing system from the people who built it, including [several weeks on site at the partner’s location abroad]. After that, you own the firmware and the device side of the system together with a second embedded engineer and a PLC engineer.

What you will do

• Learn the existing firmware and hardware during the handover, and document what you find

• Maintain and extend firmware for the robot’s controllers and sensors [MCU/SoC family, RTOS or embedded Linux]

• Build and debug communication between devices, the PLC and our cloud platform [CAN, Modbus, MQTT, serial]

• Bring up, test and fix hardware on site, with an oscilloscope and logic analyser when needed

• Set up versioning, testing and release processes for the firmware

• Work closely with our platform team (backend on Google Cloud) so device data arrives reliably

What you bring

• 3+ years of professional embedded development in C or C++

• Firmware that runs in production on real hardware, not only lab or university projects

• Experience with at least one RTOS or embedded Linux

• Experience with industrial or vehicle bus protocols (CAN, Modbus or similar)

• Comfort reading schematics and debugging hardware

• Willingness to travel for the handover and for site work

• Good English. Spanish is a plus.

Nice to have: robotics or motion control, ROS 2, safety-related development, Python for test tooling.
