Lead Robotics Firmware & Control Engineer

• Architecting and realizing firmware for motion control systems, robotic subsystems which involve interfacing micro-controllers and GPU processors with mechatronic components, sensors and actuators

• Configuring 8/16/32 bit microcontrollers. Interfacing peripherals over communication protocols such as SPI, UART, CAN, I2C as needed.

• Familiarity with concepts of feedback control and signal processing to implement control and signal processing approaches in C code necessary to accomplish overall product performance

• Hands on experience in microcontroller firmware coding and debugging along with relevant IDE tools

Experience with specific mechatronic applications in motion control, stabilization, robotics and/or flight applications with GPS, inertial sensors, vision based sensing etc will be a big advantage.

The position involves a significant level of autonomy and responsibility in which a self-motivated applicant must work independently and closely with other subject matter specialists to develop holistic product design solutions

Education, Skills & Characteristics

• Applicant should possess a Bachelors or Masters in Electronics/ Software / mechatronics.

• Applicant must have at least 1+ years of proven experience in developing relevant coding applications - successfully realizing as well as validating them.

• Strong coding expertise in C, C++, python as required. Knowledge of RTOS is an advantage.

• Familiarity with software development lifecycle as relevant to firmware including good coding practices for future maintainability.

• Experience in Mechatronic component selection and sizing to meet product function is greatly desired.

• Strong debugging skills. Hands-on experience to assess source of performance issues arising from system dynamics, electronics hardware vs firmware bugs and timing is greatly desired.

• Experience with model-based simulation and development tools such as Simulink and Matlab is a big plus.

Good team player and should have strong analytical, communication, logical and inter-personal skills.

Ability to work in a challenging environment where multi-tasking will be required.

Job Responsibilities include but not restricted to

• End-to-End Ownership from concept to realization of product functions.

• Assess, isolate and fix source of issues arising from multiple interactions of mechanical, electronics, sensors and actuators.
