The first 12 weeks are a structured handover. You learn the existing system from the people who built it, including [several weeks on site at the partner’s location abroad]. After that, you own the firmware and the device side of the system together with a second embedded engineer and a PLC engineer.
What you will do
- Learn the existing firmware and hardware during the handover, and document what you find
- Maintain and extend firmware for the robot’s controllers and sensors [MCU/SoC family, RTOS or embedded Linux]
- Build and debug communication between devices, the PLC and our cloud platform [CAN, Modbus, MQTT, serial]
- Bring up, test and fix hardware on site, with an oscilloscope and logic analyser when needed
- Set up versioning, testing and release processes for the firmware
- Work closely with our platform team (backend on Google Cloud) so device data arrives reliably
What you bring
- 3+ years of professional embedded development in C or C++
- Firmware that runs in production on real hardware, not only lab or university projects
- Experience with at least one RTOS or embedded Linux
- Experience with industrial or vehicle bus protocols (CAN, Modbus or similar)
- Comfort reading schematics and debugging hardware
- Willingness to travel for the handover and for site work
- Good English. Spanish is a plus.
Nice to have: robotics or motion control, ROS 2, safety-related development, Python for test tooling.
