About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Firmware Engineer to develop, implement, and optimize custom firmware for a proprietary controller designed by our Controls Engineering team. This role involves working closely with controls engineers, hardware designers, and system integrators to deliver robust, real-time embedded software. The firmware may be based on existing open-source platforms (e.g., ArduPilot) or developed entirely from scratch, depending on project requirements.

Key Responsibilities

Develop, test, and maintain firmware for a custom controller built in-house by the Controls Team.
Build firmware using ArduPilot, PX4, or other open-source autopilot stacks, or design a fully custom firmware architecture where needed.
Implement control algorithms, communication protocols, actuator drivers, sensor interfaces, and safety logic.
Collaborate with Controls Engineers to translate control models and system requirements into real-time embedded software.
Work with Hardware/Electronics teams to verify firmware-hardware integration, including debugging using logic analyzers, and simulation tools.
Optimize firmware for performance, reliability, and deterministic real-time behavior.
Develop documentation, tools, and processes for testing, validation, and continuous integration of embedded software.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Robotics, Embedded Systems, or a related field.
3–8+ years of experience in embedded firmware development for microcontrollers (STM32, PIC, ESP32, ARM Cortex-M, etc.).
Strong proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems.
Experience with RTOS, bare-metal programming, and low-level firmware architecture.
Familiarity with open-source autopilot stacks such as ArduPilot or PX4, OR experience building custom firmware from the ground up.
Demonstrated ability to read schematics, understand hardware design constraints, and debug firmware/hardware interactions.
Experience with version control (Git), CI/CD for embedded systems, and structured engineering workflows.

Preferred / Nice-to-Have

Experience with control systems implementation (PID, state estimation, MPC, observers, etc.).
Understanding of robotics, autonomous systems, or motion control.
Experience with Simulink/Model-Based Development or autogenerated code.
Knowledge of safety-critical embedded software design and compliance standards.
Familiarity with Linux-based development environments or companion computers.
Experience with hardware bring-up and board support packages (BSP).
