Base pay range

We are looking for a highly skilled Senior Embedded Software Engineer to lead the development and deployment of embedded systems for our next-generation marine robotics platforms. This role involves working at the intersection of hardware and software to deliver robust, reliable, and fault-tolerant systems that can operate autonomously for extended durations in harsh marine conditions.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and optimize embedded software solutions across Jetson, Raspberry Pi, and MCU-based platforms
• Develop and maintain hardware abstraction layers, device drivers, and system integration code
• Lead the integration of subsystems including BMS, motor controllers, leak detection, and power distribution into embedded frameworks
• Interface with various sensors (IMUs, cameras, environmental sensors) and actuators using SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, and GPIO
• Collaborate with electronics and mechanical teams to align design specifications with real-world constraints
• Evaluate and select suitable embedded hardware components for marine-grade applications
• Lead debugging and validation of embedded systems in lab and field conditions
• Develop automated test setups and documentation for embedded codebases
• Optimize for power, memory, and real-time performance, especially in resource-constrained environments
• Mentor junior engineers in embedded systems development and best practices
• Contribute to architecture decisions and code reviews
• Ensure compliance with system reliability, safety, and documentation standards for field-deployable systems
