Real-Time Embedded Firmware Engineer for Humanoid Robotics

Menlo; Singapore; Vor Ort; SGD 70.000 - 120.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Menlo Research in Singapore is seeking a firmware engineer to own real-time software close to hardware, from bare-metal controllers to embedded Linux on the robot compute platform.

You will bring up new boards, write drivers for sensors and actuators, ensure timing guarantees, and build robust boot and update flows shared across the fleet.

This role emphasizes hands-on hardware-software integration, deterministic latency, and collaboration with electrical, controls, and autonomy teams.

Qualifikationen

• 3+ years of hands-on firmware or embedded software experience in real-world products.
• Strong C and C++ in resource-constrained, real-time environments, plus Python for tooling and tests.
• Practical embedded Linux experience: kernel, drivers, device trees, cross-compilation, and build systems (Yocto/Buildroot).
• Solid grounding in real-time systems: interrupt latency, scheduling, jitter, and timing measurement.

Aufgaben

• Design, implement, and test real-time firmware for joint controllers, sensors, and power management.
• Own the embedded Linux platform on the onboard compute: kernel config, drivers, device trees, BSPs.
• Bring up new board revisions with the electrical team, from power-on to a characterized subsystem.
• Build and maintain the communication layer between joints and main compute: bus scheduling and time sync.
• Own bootloader, flashing, and firmware update flows across all boards for fleet-wide updates.
• Integrate sensors (IMUs, encoders, force-torque, cameras) with timestamping and deterministic latency.
• Implement safety and fault handling: watchdogs, E-stop paths, thermal/current limits, graceful degradation.
• Debug across hardware-software boundary with tools; build test automation to catch regressions.
