Embedded Systems Engineer, Autonomy

You'll work directly on our embedded software stack, which runs on STM32-based hardware. Your focus will be on implementing new features, refining existing functionality, and fixing bugs across our firmware. This is a hands-on role with plenty of variety, touching everything from motor control to communications, diagnostics, and over-the-air updates.

You'll collaborate closely with hardware engineers, app developers, and product designers to ensure seamless integration between embedded systems and the broader RAD ecosystem.

What You'll Do

• Develop, test, and maintain embedded software for STM32 microcontrollers
• Implement new features and improve system performance
• Investigate, debug, and resolve firmware issues
• Work on low-level communications protocols (UART, CAN, I2C, SPI)
• Collaborate on board bring-up and system-level testing
• Contribute to continuous improvements in code quality, documentation, and development practices

• 2+ years of experience in embedded systems development
• Proficiency in C and familiarity with STM32 or similar ARM Cortex-M platforms
• Experience with hardware interfaces and low-level drivers (CAN, UART, I2C, etc.)
• Strong debugging skills using tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers and debuggers
• Familiarity with version control (e.g. Git) and basic CI workflows
• Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced, collaborative environment
• Knowledge of motor control or power electronics
• Familiarity with bootloaders and firmware update strategies
• Exposure to Python or scripting for testing
