Principal Embedded Firmware Engineer – Robotics

Atomos Systems is developing a general purpose super-humanoid leveraging advanced actuator design, sensors, and control techniques to push the boundaries of performance, efficiency, and reliability. We need a motivated Embedded Firmware Engineer to contribute to the actuator and sensor firmware.

Areas of Contribution

• Embedded Firmware Development: Design, implement, and optimize real-time firmware for microcontrollers in humanoid robotics systems.

• Sensor & Actuator Integration: Develop drivers and algorithms for sensors and actuators to ensure precision and low-latency responsiveness.

• Communication Protocols: Implement communication protocols (e.g. CAN, SPI, I2C, and UART) and optimize for low-latency device communication.

• Actuator Controller Firmware: Develop and optimize firmware for actuator control.

• Testing & Debugging: Use lap equipment (e.g. oscilloscopes and logic analyzers) and automated test frameworks to diagnose and improve firmware reliability.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with controls, electronics, and software teams to optimize system performance.

Qualifications

Must-Haves:

• Bachelor's or Master’s in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.

• 3+ years of experience in embedded firmware development.

• Proficiency in C and C++ for microcontrollers (ARM Cortex-M, TI C2000, etc.).

• Experience with RTOS and real-time embedded systems, including performance run-time profiling vs theoretical and worst-case numbers.

• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills.

Nice-To-Haves:

• Experience with motor control and Field-Oriented Control (FOC).

• Hands-on experience with PCB design and layout.

• Experience shipping production firmware

Pay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience
