Weave Robotics; San Francisco (CA); On-site; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Weave Robotics in San Francisco is seeking an Embedded Software Engineer to build software that connects our hardware to intelligent robot behavior. You’ll develop the foundational software powering every robot we ship, enabling precise motion, reliable sensing, and safe operation in home robotics.

Collaborate with hardware, controls, and robotics engineers to bring up new carrier boards, validate systems, and optimize performance, delivering production-ready code for all robots and shaping the

Qualifications

• 4+ years of embedded Linux/systems software development.
• Hands-on bring-up on modern application-class SoCs (NVIDIA Jetson, preferred).
• Strong C++ production-quality software for embedded or real-time systems.

Responsibilities

• Develop production embedded software: Design, implement, test, and maintain embedded software for robotic systems using modern C++. Develop firmware, device drivers, communication stacks, and interfaces for sensors, actuators, cameras, and peripherals.
• Bring up new hardware: Collaborate with hardware and electrical engineers to integrate new carrier boards and validate system functionality.
• Build real-time systems: Develop deterministic software that meets timing constraints while managing concurrency, resource limitations, and hardware failures.
• Design for reliability: Build diagnostics, health monitoring, calibration, and fault-handling systems that improve robot robustness and serviceability.
• Debug across the stack: Investigate issues spanning hardware, firmware, and robotics software using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, debuggers, and other engineering tools.
• Build production software: Write maintainable, production-quality code that supports both rapid iteration and long-term reliability.
