Analog-To-Digital Converters C++ (Programming Language) Computer Programming Embedded Software Firmware Hardware Design Scripting

Job description

Join our specialized Research and Design (R&D) team to help build the future of human-machine interaction. We focus on integrating cutting-edge haptics, force sensing, and moving camera applications into wearables and next-generation robotics., * Firmware Development: Write fluent C/C++ code for microprocessors to communicate with sensors and control motor functions (e.g., moving camera heads).

  • Hardware Integration: Work with basic EE functions, including circuit schematics, board layouts, and analog-to-digital converters (ADCs).
  • Lab Testing & Automation: Utilize Python scripting to automate test workflows, collect sensor data, and validate prototypes using tools like oscilloscopes and signal generators.
  • Collaborate: Work closely with core hardware and algorithm teams to optimize sensor placement and performance.

Requirements

Do you have experience in Sensors?, Do you have a Master’s degree?, * Experience Level: 1-2+ years of professional industry experience, or a recently completed Master’s/PhD program featuring intense, hands-on sensor-integration project work.

  • Core Language Fluency: Strong, practical fluency in C and C++ programming for embedded systems.
  • Hardware Basics: Ability to read/review schematics and adapt to PCB design environments (Cadence or Eagle preferred).
  • Sensor Exposure: Fundamental awareness of force-sensing or haptic architectures (experience with Strain Gauges is a massive plus!).
  • Industry Trajectory: Backgrounds in Consumer Electronics, Automotive Robotics, or agile hobbyist-to-professional prototyping projects.
