Principal Embedded Software Engineer

About the Role

A growing robotics organization is seeking a Principal Embedded Software Engineer to lead the design, development, and enhancement of the embedded software powering its next-generation electromechanical systems. This engineer will work closely with cross‑functional teams, contribute to the architecture and implementation of core software components, and ensure system reliability, safety, and high‑performance operation.

This position follows a hybrid schedule requiring regular weekly on‑site collaboration.

• Design, develop, and maintain embedded software for advanced electromechanical systems, with a focus on performance, safety, and reliability
• Collaborate with hardware and systems engineers to integrate software with electronic, mechanical, and control subsystems
• Develop and optimize motion‑control and feedback algorithms for precision robotic operation
• Implement real‑time control software, sensor integration, and communication interfaces
• Conduct rigorous debugging and testing to ensure robust system operation in dynamic environments
• Produce clear and thorough documentation of software design, implementation decisions, and test procedures
• Work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams to meet technical and program objectives

• 5+ years of embedded software development experience in C, C++, and Python for electromechanical or robotic products
• Experience developing software for motion control, brushless DC motors, or complex actuator systems
• Ability to independently take requirements and deliver reliable, well‑structured, and well‑documented software modules
• Familiarity with embedded communication protocols such as CAN, SPI, I2C, and UART
• Ability to interpret datasheets, schematics, and detailed technical documentation
