Job summary

Orbital Robotics in Seattle is seeking engineers to develop embedded software for safety-critical robotic systems. You will implement real-time firmware, write drivers, and optimize software for high-bandwidth robotic control.

Experience with bare-metal bring-up, RTOS, and integration on robotic hardware is desired, along with a Bachelor’s in a related engineering field. This role involves ITAR-restricted work within space robotics.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer science, physics, robotics, or related engineering discipline.
Software development experience in C, C++ and Linux.
0-2 years of full-time, working experience in embedded systems.

Responsibilities

Implement, test, and deploy real-time embedded C/C++ software from bare-metal bring-up to production hardware, and contribute to its architecture.
Develop device drivers and high-speed communication protocols to integrate actuators, motor controllers, and complex sensor payloads.
Optimize low-level firmware and RTOS to meet the strict timing and latencies required for high-bandwidth robotic control, dynamic movement, and manipulation.
Contribute to the design of fault-tolerant software architectures and safety systems that handle hardware degradation, thermal limits, and unexpected physical disturbances.
Integrate and debug embedded systems directly on full-scale robots and hardware-in-the-loop test frameworks.
