Firmware Engineer – Wearable Sensing & Wireless Systems
Join our wearable systems team to build high-performance sensing and wireless firmware for data gloves and on-body robotic interfaces. You will own the full embedded stack—from analog sensor acquisition and real-time signal processing to low-latency wireless streaming—enabling precise teleoperation, tactile feedback, and learning-based dexterous manipulation.
Requirements- 01 Pursuing or completed BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Robotics, or related fields
- 02 Strong Rust (Embassy) and C/C++ experience in embedded firmware development
- 03 Hands‑on experience with low‑power microcontrollers and SoCs (STM
32, nRF
52, ESP
32, RP2040, or similar) - 04 Experience building wearable sensing pipelines using ADCs, SPI/I2C sensors, and DMA
- 05 Understanding of digital signal processing for wearable signals: filtering, drift compensation, calibration, and sensor fusion
- 06 Experience with wireless protocols such as BLE, Wi‑Fi, or proprietary low‑latency RF links
- 07 Familiarity with power‑aware firmware design: sleep states, duty cycling, latency vs. power tradeoffs
- 08 Comfortable using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, RF sniffers, and JTAG/SWD debuggers
- 09 (+) Experience with strain gauges, FSRs, IMUs, flex sensors, or soft/tactile wearable sensors
- 10 (+) Experience implementing BLE GATT services, custom wireless protocols, or streaming telemetry
- 11 (+) Familiarity with antenna constraints, RF coexistence, and wearable form‑factor limitations
- 12 (+) Experience with sensor calibration tools, factory test flows, or per-device compensation
- 13 (+) Exposure to XR, motion capture, haptics, or human‑in‑the‑loop sensing systems
- 01 Design and implement firmware for wearable sensing systems including data gloves and on‑body sensor modules
- 02 Build robust, low‑latency sensor acquisition and processing pipelines for motion and tactile signals
- 03 Implement wireless streaming of high‑rate sensor data to host systems with tight latency constraints
- 04 Optimize firmware for battery life, thermal limits, and comfort in always‑on wearable devices
- 05 Develop calibration, pairing, and provisioning flows for wearable devices
- 06 Support bring‑up and validation of new wearable PCBs, sensors, batteries, and radio designs
- 07 Collaborate with mechanical, RF, and industrial design teams to meet wearable constraints
- 08 Work closely with teleoperation, controls, and ML teams to align sensing outputs with system needs
- 01 Own the wearable sensing and wireless stack for next‑generation robotic teleoperation systems
- 02 Work at the intersection of human sensing, robotics, and real‑time systems
- 03 Collaborate with experts in robotics, embedded systems, and AI‑driven manipulation
- 04 Access to advanced labs, custom glove prototypes, and in‑house robotic platforms
- 05 Competitive salary and meaningful equity
