Embedded Systems Engineer

We are seeking a skilled and motivated Embedded Systems Engineer with 2-3 years of professional experience in embedded firmware development and hardware-software integration. The ideal candidate should have a strong understanding of C/C++, microcontroller architectures, communication protocols, motor control, and embedded systems. The role involves designing, developing, testing, and debugging embedded solutions for robotics, industrial automation, and autonomous systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, test, debug, and optimize embedded firmware using C/C++ and Python.
• Work with microcontrollers and microprocessors, including STM32, ESP32, Nordic nRF, Raspberry Pi, and Orange Pi.
• Interface and integrate sensors, encoders, servo motors, stepper motors, and motor drivers.
• Implement communication protocols such as UART, I²C, SPI, CAN, RS485, and Modbus.
• Develop and implement motor control algorithms, PID controllers, and closed‑loop feedback systems.
• Perform hardware-software integration, firmware optimization, system debugging, and validation.
• Collaborate with hardware, mechanical, and software teams throughout the product development lifecycle.
• Prepare technical documentation, testing procedures, and development reports.

Required Skills

• Strong understanding of Embedded C/C++, Python, microcontroller architectures, and digital electronics.
• Hands‑on experience with STM32, ESP32, Nordic nRF, or other ARM‑based microcontrollers.
• Understanding of MCU peripherals, including GPIO, ADC, PWM, timers, interrupts, and watchdogs.
• Experience with embedded communication protocols, including UART, I²C, SPI, CAN, and RS485.
• Practical knowledge of servo motors, stepper motors, encoders, motor drivers, and feedback control systems.
• Experience with FreeRTOS, Zephyr RTOS, or similar real‑time operating systems.
• Experience with embedded development environments such as Arduino IDE, STM32CubeIDE, ESP-IDF, Keil, or similar tools.
• Basic understanding of electronic circuits, PCB schematics, and hardware debugging using oscilloscopes, multimeters, and logic analyzers.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, problem‑solving, and teamwork skills.

Preference Will Be Given To

• Candidates with experience in robotics, industrial automation, automotive electronics, or autonomous navigation systems.
• Hands‑on experience with GPS/GNSS, RTK positioning, PID‑based motor control, and encoder feedback systems.
• Experience with embedded Linux platforms, including Raspberry Pi or Orange Pi.
• Knowledge of IoT communication technologies, including MQTT, Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and Zigbee.
• Practical experience with RTOS‑based firmware development and ARM Cortex‑M architectures.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related field.
• 2 - 3 years of relevant professional experience in embedded systems development
