Help us redefine the very foundation of robotics and build robots that are smart, collaborative, robust, safe, flexible, and genuinely autonomous. As an embedded engineer at Robust AI, you will join a small fast-paced team working to design and deploy the next generation of warehouse robotic systems. Working with the other engineers on the team you will help develop firmware for our robotic systems including actuation, sensors, and displays. You will also help debug, iterate and test hardware on our current robot fleet. You will help inform the design of our next-generation robot. You are excited about seeing robots deployed at a large scale. You are someone who is comfortable working in an early-stage startup environment and can pivot effectively. The base pay range for this role is between $130,000 and $160,000, depending on your skills, qualifications and experience.
Main responsibilities:
  • Design, development, debugging, integration, and maintenance of embedded system firmware for both new designs and existing products.
  • Collaborate with the team to formulate firmware architecture and design.
  • Write well-crafted, well-tested, readable, and maintainable code, adhering to software engineering best practices.
  • Engage with cross-functional engineering team members to fulfill and enhance performance requirements while optimizing hardware/software interfaces.
  • Generate design documentation and lead design and code reviews.
  • Hands-on involvement in debugging robots.
What you’ll bring to the table:
  • Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science or equivalent.
  • 1-3 years of expertise in embedded software, proficient in C and C++.
  • Proficient experience with microcontrollers, preferably within the STM32 family.
  • Familiarity with communication protocols such as USB, I2C, SPI, UART, RS485, etc.
  • Proven track record in bare metal embedded systems.
  • Hands-on experience in firmware development, testing, and system-level bring-up.
  • Experience debugging embedded systems with tools such as scopes and logic analyzers.
  • Experience in conducting bench modifications and fast development of hardware/firmware prototypes.
  • Ability to collaborate and communicate complex technical concepts both verbally and with documentation.
  • Experience reading PCB schematics.
Nice to haves from you:
  • Setting up and configuring CMake projects.
  • Previous experience working with robotic or mechatronic systems.
  • Writing and debugging tight control loops.
  • PCB bringup experience.
What we offer:
  • Base pay between $130,000 and $160,000, dependent on your skills, qualifications and experience
  • Stock options and huge potential for growth
  • Strong startup (and fun) culture
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage
  • Flexible vacation and sick leave practices
  • Paid parental leave
Robust AI fosters a culture of belonging and a shared commitment to equality and equity. Having a diverse set of perspectives is key to ensuring AI and robotics serve the needs of all.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
