Senior Embedded SW Engineer

Senior Embedded SW Engineer - San Francisco - A well-known Robotics start up A well-known Robotics start up based out of San Francisco are looking for an experienced Senior/Staff Embedded SW Engineer to join their high-performing engineering team. The ideal candidate will have solid C/C++ skills, experience building safety critical embedded systems with Real time operating systems (RTOS). Responsibilities

Implement new features and isolate existing software with real time needs. Identify the compute architecture and OS (RTOS, which RTOS, or bare metal), communication & serialization protocol, gather requirements and compute performance metrics. Partner cross-functionally (electrical, mechanical, software, networking) on architecture and infrastructure choices. Support system integration, test, and debug; participate in demonstrations and pilot deployments

Requirements

Proven experience designing deterministic (real time) software within constrained resources (memory, processing) Experience with the design of redundant hardware and software systems Strong knowledge of Embedded C/C++ Experience with CAN bus systems and associated tools Experience with data serialization protocols for embedded systems Collaboration with Linux (and similar) application stack (i.e., define common interfaces, tests) and excitement to dive into more of the “higher-level” general and robotics software when needed.

Nice to have

Experience with Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) systems Experience with ROS or other robotics middleware platforms. Knowledge of bootloaders and implementation with various communication protocols
