Desirable

• As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer, Safety, you will join our Safety team and play a critical role in designing and delivering the embedded software that ensures our robots operate reliably and safely alongside people
• In this role, you will architect and develop real-time embedded systems that sit at the intersection of hardware, firmware, and safety-critical functionality
• You’ll bring up new hardware platforms, build robust RTOS-based software, and contribute to diagnostics, monitoring, and safety-related mechanisms that support dependable robot operation in real-world environments
• You’ll work closely with hardware, systems, controls, and operations teams to ensure safety is designed into the platform from the ground up. This is an opportunity to apply strong embedded engineering fundamentals while helping shape how safety is implemented, validated, and continuously improved across our robotic systems
• Architect and deliver embedded software in an RTOS environment, including task scheduling & prioritization, inter-task communication, and device driver management
• Evaluate and integrate compute hardware, peripherals, middleware components, and development toolchains, ensuring performance, reliability, and alignment with system requirements
• Bring up new hardware platforms, develop hardware abstraction layers (HALs), and support integration of sensors, actuators, and custom electronics
• Analyze real-world and simulated robot data to assess system performance, identify bottlenecks, and drive continuous improvements across the embedded stack
• Contribute to platform diagnostics, monitoring, watchdogs, and basic safety-related mechanisms as part of robust system design
• Produce clear, high-quality documentation and participate in structured development, testing, and code review processes
