About the role

You will maintain and extend firmware for robot controllers and sensors while managing communication between devices, PLCs, and the cloud. Additionally, you will perform hardware bring-up, testing, and debugging on-site using specialized tools.

What they look for

C C++ Embedded Software Firmware RTOS Embedded Linux CAN Modbus MQTT Serial Hardware Debugging Oscilloscope Logic Analyser Robotics ROS 2 Python

Requirements

Candidates must have 3+ years of professional embedded development experience in C or C++ with production-level firmware expertise. Proficiency in RTOS or embedded Linux, industrial bus protocols, and the ability to travel for site work are required.

Full description

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.
