• Firmware Development & Delivery

  • Design, implement, and optimize firmware (ideally within a RTOS) for STM32 (or similar 32-bit ARM) microcontrollers within an autonomous robot environment.
  • Rapidly prototype and iterate to ensure quick value delivery, balancing quality with speed and testing times.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (hardware, software, electronics) to define and refine requirements and interfaces.

• Fast Iteration & Testing

  • Develop and maintain automated testing frameworks that enable fast and reliable firmware validation.
  • Work with a nimble mindset: quickly evaluate changes, gather data and feedback, iterate to ensure continuous improvement and immediate impact.

• System & Safety Considerations

  • Implement robust error handling, fail-safe mechanisms, and performance monitoring within bare-metal and RTOS architectures.
  • Design secure and reliable over-the-air (OTA) update processes, supporting incremental improvements without compromising stability.

• Product Integration, Cross Functional Collaboration & Continuous Improvements

  • Collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams to integrate firmware features into the broader Dexory ecosystem, ensuring seamless communication and data capture.
  • Contribute to system-level design and roadmapping, always considering ways to deliver immediate, incremental value to users.
  • Identify bottlenecks and propose optimizations as well as speed up processes — both in code and workflow — that drive faster deployment cycles.

• Ownership & Agility

  • Take end-to-end ownership of projects, from initial specification to production release and maintenance.
  • Embrace an agile mindset to plan, estimate, and execute tasks, balancing speed, iteration, and quality.
  • Engage proactively in code reviews, design discussions, and team problem-solving.

Requirements

• Technical Expertise

  • 3+ years of experience delivering embedded software to production environments.
  • Proficient in C/C++ with modern best practices and familiarity with STM32 or similar 32-bit ARM MCUs.
  • Experience with both bare-metal and RTOS-based firmware designs.
  • Strong knowledge of Linux-based build systems, debugging tools, and development workflows.

• Fast Iteration & Testing Mindset

  • Demonstrated success in rapid prototyping, testing, and deployment cycles. Delivery to tight deadlines is a must.
  • Experience building and maintaining automated test setups for embedded systems (hardware/software integration tests).

• Collaboration & Communication

  • Excellent communication skills—adept at working closely within a collaborative, very fast-paced engineering environment.
  • Ability to coordinate across multidisciplinary teams (hardware, software, electronics) and quickly adapt to evolving requirements.

• Preferred Skills

  • Industrial, production-focused firmware development experience.
  • Expertise with communication buses and protocols (CAN, I2C, Ethernet, etc.).
  • Exposure to electronics design and hardware/software co-design principles.
  • Experience building OTA update systems for embedded devices.
