Job description

Perceptyne Robots – Embedded Software Engineer (L3, L4)

About Perceptyne:

While robotic automation has come a long way from the time everything was manual, even today, robots struggle when it comes to automating tasks that need dexterity: like product assembly, packing and kitchen preparations.

Founded by IIT & BITS alumni, Perceptyne is a deep-tech robotics company building highly dexterous robots that can automate these tasks in a scalable manner. At Perceptyne, we are building disruptive technology that will push the boundary of robotics as we know it today! (www.perceptyne.com)

How is it like to work at Perceptyne?

At our core, we like to build things, we evangelize great ideas, and we are grounded in reality.

At Perceptyne, we greatly value these dichotomies:

• Having experience while not losing a first principles approach.
• Having a large vision while not losing attention to detail
• Working on disruptive tech while hitting the market ASAP

Work Description:

As a Firmware Engineer, you are expected to execute all aspects of software that goes onto the electronics of our robot.

Your everyday activities would include:

• System/sub-system level architectural decisions pertaining to any embedded software that goes onto the robot
• Develop, test & re-factor robust code modules that implement: high performance motion control, inter-system communication, control schemas, robot safety, compliance as per ISO 13849, among other aspects

Skills / Requirements:

Experience Requirements:

• Bachelors / Masters in Electronics Engineering / Computer Science Engineering or equivalent (ECE / EEE / EIE / CSE / IT / Mechatronics)
• >4 years of relevant work experience

Technical skill Requirements:

• Excellent proficiency in firmware development, based on C
• Strong experience using IDEs, debuggers and other tools from one or more popular microcontroller vendors
• Ability to write well architected, modular, documented code. Understanding of MISRA C guidelines, a big plus
• Proficiency in Python / LabVIEW / MATLAB / VHDL is a big plus
• Good understanding of control systems is a big plus
• Experience understanding ISO standards, translating them into requirements is a plus.
• Circuit design skills: (Nice to have)
• Good understanding & experience of designing sub-sections of boards like power supply management, micro-controller subsystems, ADC/DAC circuits, protection circuits, isolation circuits etc.
• Good understanding of various figures of merit (specifications) in datasheets
• Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB design tools.
• Dexterity with test equipment (Oscilloscopes, Signal Generators, DMMs etc.) is a must
• Systematic approach to work, documentation, and tracking
• Be resourceful, creative about getting things done with a sense of urgency
• Be curious of whatever is happening in the company and pitch in wherever you think you can learn or add value.
