Embedded Software Engineer

Embedded Software Engineer San Francisco Bay Area, California Salary- $150,000-175,000 Overview We're seeking an Embedded Software Engineer to develop the foundational software powering next-generation robotic hardware. You'll build high-performance, safety-critical , real-time embedded systems that enable reliable, deterministic operation. Role Responsibilities

• Develop and integrate safety-certified RTOS solutions (e.g. PX5, ThreadX, SafeRTOS ) for robotic control hardware.
• Design low-level software, device drivers , and BSPs for ARM-based embedded platforms.
• Optimize real-time performance , deterministic execution, and system reliability.
• Collaborate with hardware and functional safety teams to deliver safety-critical software.
• Develop tooling for system monitoring, testing, OTA updates, calibration, and deployment.
• Build scalable, reproducible build and test environments. Must-Have Qualifications
• MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field
• Strong experience with RTOS , ARM64 architecture , multicore SoCs, and embedded C/Assembly.
• Expertise in real-time scheduling , memory management, bootloaders, HAL/BSP development, and low-level debugging.
• Experience with communication protocols including Ethernet, EtherCAT, CAN, SPI, and GPIO .
• Familiarity with embedded toolchains, oscilloscopes, hardware debuggers, and static analysis tools.
• Understanding of Functional Safety (FuSa) , MISRA , and safety-compliant software development.
• Self-motivated, collaborative, and comfortable in a fast-paced startup environment. Preferred Qualifications
