Robotics Embedded Firmware Engineer (C/C++, RTOS)

ORIENT ROBOTICS PTE. LTD.; Singapore; On-site; SGD 62,000 - 78,000; Full time

Job summary

Orient Robotics is seeking an Embedded Software Engineer in Singapore to design, develop and maintain firmware powering teleoperation and sensing devices. You will work across the full embedded stack on ARM Cortex‑M platforms, integrating sensors, wireless links and edge analytics for field deployments.

The role emphasizes collaboration with hardware, mechanical and systems engineers, with opportunities to influence design reviews and power-management decisions.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical/Electronic Engineering or related field.
• Strong C and C++ programming skills with Python knowledge.
• Hands-on MCU firmware experience (STM32, ESP32, ARM Cortex‑M, Arduino) with RTOS (Zephyr RTOS, FreeRTOS).
• Experience integrating sensors and peripherals via I2C, SPI, UART, ADC, PWM, GPIO and CAN, including writing device drivers.
• Familiarity with wireless and IoT protocols: BLE, Wi‑Fi, MQTT, Modbus TCP and TCP/IP.
• Ability to debug across hardware–software boundary using logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, GDB and JTAG/SWD.
• Experience contributing to full product development cycles through academic, research or internship projects.
• Strong communication and documentation skills in English; ability to work effectively in a small, fast-moving team.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop and debug embedded firmware in C/C++ on ARM Cortex‑M platforms using RTOS like Zephyr and FreeRTOS.
• Integrate sensors and peripherals via I2C, SPI, UART, ADC, GPIO, PWM and CAN; develop device drivers.
• Implement wireless and IoT links (BLE, Wi‑Fi, MQTT, Modbus TCP, TCP/IP) and edge-to-cloud telemetry pipelines for device monitoring and control.
• Perform hardware bring-up and debugging with logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, GDB and JTAG/SWD; support PCB/FPCB design reviews and power-management decisions.
• Build Python-based test tooling, telemetry dashboards and automated regression tests to improve firmware reliability in field deployments.
• Collaborate with hardware, mechanical and systems engineers to deliver integrated robotic products; document designs and participate in design reviews.
