Autonomy Hardware Interface Engineer (ROS & Embedded)

LionsBot International; Singapore; On-site; SGD 90,000 - 135,000; Full time

Job summary

LionsBot International seeks a Software Engineer to drive hardware-software integration for autonomous cleaning robots in Singapore. You will develop ROS-based drivers for sensors, bridge ROS with embedded control, and optimise data flow across CAN, UART, I2C and SPI interfaces.

You will work with STM32 microcontrollers on Linux, profile performance, and own end-to-end testing and bootloader update pipelines to ensure reliable robot operation.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in CS, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
• Proficient in C++ and Python development on Linux.
• Experience with ROS1 / ROS2.
• Familiarity with embedded communication protocols (CAN, UART, I2C, SPI).
• Familiarity with STM32 or similar ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers.
• Experience with hardware debugging tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG/SWD).
• Strong attention to detail and debugging skills.
• Realtime OS knowledge is a bonus.
• Experience optimizing software for embedded hardware (Jetson, ARM) is a bonus.

Responsibilities

• Develop, test and maintain ROS-based hardware drivers for sensor suite (lidars, cameras, ToFs) and other peripherals on our robot platform.
• Profile driver performance and optimize for low latency and high throughput.
• Debug sensor communication issues across CAN, USB, UART, I2C and SPI interfaces.
• Design and maintain the communication bridge between ROS layer and MCU-based embedded control system.
• Architect custom communication protocols between IPC and embedded controllers with backwards compatibility.
• Implement and validate CAN, Serial or custom protocol interfaces for telemetry across systems.
• Own end-to-end testing pipeline for IPC–embedded interface, including tests and regression coverage.
• Own the bootloader update pipeline, ensuring reliable firmware updates.
