Firmware / Embedded Systems Engineer

Firmware EngineerSkild AI is looking for a Firmware Engineer to develop and optimize firmware for BLDC motor control and real-time embedded systems. You will implement control algorithms, debug communication protocols, and integrate firmware with higher-level robotics frameworks — collaborating closely with hardware teams to ensure system performance across complex, tightly integrated robotic platforms.What You'll DoDevelop and optimize firmware for BLDC motor control including advanced control algorithms and system identificationDesign, debug, and integrate low-level communication protocols such as RS-485, CAN, UART, and SPIImplement and maintain real-time systems using RTOS environments including FreeRTOS, RT Linux, or VxWorksCollaborate with hardware engineers to design and validate motor driver circuits and power electronics systemsIntegrate firmware into higher-level communication frameworks such as DDS and ROSTest, validate, and debug firmware systems in the labDocument firmware design processes and contribute to best practicesYou Should HaveHands-on experience in firmware development for robotics, motor control, or embedded systemsExpertise in BLDC motor control including FOC (Field-Oriented Control), PWM, and current and position control techniquesProficiency in low-level communication protocols such as RS-485, CAN, and SPIExperience with real-time embedded systems including FreeRTOS or RT LinuxFamiliarity with DDS frameworks such as ROSProficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems and comfort with hardware debugging toolsBachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a related fieldCompensationBase Salary: $100,000 - $300,000, depending on experience.
