Company Description

Must be eligible to obtain a U.S. security clearance

We’re looking for a hands-on Embedded/Firmware Engineer to design and build embedded systems for next-gen defense robotics. You’ll own the development of real-time firmware, embedded PCBs, sensor/motor integration, and field-ready electronics that power rugged, edge-deployed platforms.

This role is ideal for engineers who thrive in high-stakes environments, love rapid prototyping, and enjoy collaborating across hardware, software, and robotics teams.

Job Description

Firmware & Embedded Development

  • Write and test embedded firmware for controllers, motor drivers, and sensors

  • Implement real-time control loops, sensor acquisition, and signal processing

  • Develop firmware testing and debugging tools to ensure reliability

PCB & System Design

  • Design embedded PCBs integrating MCUs, sensors, drivers, and communication interfaces

  • Simulate and optimize for performance, durability, and noise immunity

Sensor & Motor Integration

  • Integrate sensors (IMUs, LiDAR, cameras) and motors into embedded platforms

  • Build firmware for accurate, efficient motor control

Prototyping & Testing

  • Assemble and field-test prototypes in rugged outdoor and defense-like conditions

  • Conduct environmental, shock, and vibration testing for reliability validation

Manufacturing & Scale-Up

  • Lead design-for-manufacturing (DFM) reviews to ensure production readiness

  • Work closely with vendors and suppliers to meet quality and cost targets

Cross-Functional System Integration

  • Collaborate with mechanical, optical, and robotics teams for full system integration

  • Build software interfaces with other computing systems across the platform

  • Support field deployments with hands-on troubleshooting and guidance

Documentation & Compliance

  • Produce schematics, BOMs, wiring diagrams, and firmware documentation

  • Ensure systems meet safety, MIL-STD, and ITAR compliance requirements

Qualifications

  • 3–8 years in embedded systems, firmware development, or robotics

  • Strong in embedded C/C++, with some Python

  • Familiar with RTOS, Altium/KiCad, and debugging tools

  • Experience with PCB design, sensor integration, motor control

  • Skilled in designing for EMI/EMC, thermal, and real-world rugged use

  • BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Robotics, or related field

  • Strong problem-solver with a bias for action and hands-on experimentation

  • Comfortable in fast-paced, cross-disciplinary environments

  • Excellent communicator and collaborator

  • Experience with rugged electronics in harsh environments

  • Familiarity with MIL-STD and ITAR compliance

  • Background in robotics or real-time control systems

  • Active or eligible for U.S. security clearance
