Principal Embedded Firmware Engineer – Robotics

LocationBoulder, Colorado, United States
TypeOnsite
Atomos Systems is developing a general purpose super-humanoid leveraging advanced actuator design, sensors, and control techniques to push the boundaries of performance, efficiency, and reliability. We need a motivated Embedded Firmware Engineer to contribute to the actuator and sensor firmware.

Areas of Contribution


  • Embedded Firmware Development: Design, implement, and optimize real-time firmware for microcontrollers in humanoid robotics systems.
  • Sensor & Actuator Integration: Develop drivers and algorithms for sensors and actuators to ensure precision and low-latency responsiveness.
  • Communication Protocols: Implement communication protocols (e.g. CAN, SPI, I2C, and UART) and optimize for low-latency device communication.
  • Actuator Controller Firmware: Develop and optimize firmware for actuator control.
  • Testing & Debugging: Use lap equipment (e.g. oscilloscopes and logic analyzers) and automated test frameworks to diagnose and improve firmware reliability.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with controls, electronics, and software teams to optimize system performance.

Qualifications


Must-Haves:


  • Bachelor's or Master’s in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
  • 3+ years of experience in embedded firmware development.
  • Proficiency in C and C++ for microcontrollers (ARM Cortex-M, TI C2000, etc.).
  • Experience with RTOS and real-time embedded systems, including performance run-time profiling vs theoretical and worst-case numbers.
  • Strong debugging and problem-solving skills.

Nice-To-Haves:


  • Experience with motor control and Field-Oriented Control (FOC).
  • Hands-on experience with PCB design and layout.
  • Experience shipping production firmware

Pay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experienceCompensation Range: $100K - $200K
