Job description

Senior Embedded Systems & Controls Engineer (Robotics, Automotive & Industrial Automation)

Location: Irvine, CA Level: Band 6 (Senior / Staff)

Schedule: 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM, Monday – Friday

The Role: Build the Brain, Not Just the Muscles

We are seeking a Senior Embedded Systems & Controls Software Engineer with strong systems intuition and a passion for building robust, safety-critical control software. While this role is within the aerospace sector, we are looking for the "builder" mentality found in Robotics, Autonomous Vehicles, and Industrial Automation.

This is not a fast inner-loop motor-control role. Instead, you will own the supervisory control layers that coordinate actuators, motor drives, power sequencing, and vehicle-level systems. You will architect and implement the state machines, diagnostics, and communication interfaces that ensure safe, deterministic operation across complex systems

Key Responsibilities

  • System Control Architecture: Design and own system-level control architecture spanning actuator control, power sequencing, and operational state management.
  • Logic & State Management: Develop supervisory logic, state machines, and mode management—including safe power-up/down, fault response, and degraded operating modes.
  • Embedded Software Development: Develop and maintain software in C/C++ on real-time, safety-oriented MCUs such as TI C2000 or NXP.
  • Interface & Communication: Define and implement system interfaces and author Interface Control Documents (ICDs) for protocols like CAN, ARINC 825, and SPI.
  • Model-Based Design: Use MATLAB/Simulink to develop and validate system-level control logic and coordination strategies.
  • Integration & Test: Lead system-level integration across motor control, BMS, and sensors, supporting hardware bring-up and HIL testing.
  • Safety & Compliance: Support the development of safety-critical software by following disciplined processes aligned with standards like DO-178C or equivalent safety frameworks.

Qualifications

  • Education: Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • Experience: Minimum of 8 years of experience developing embedded control software for complex real-time systems.
  • Technical Skills: Strong proficiency in embedded C/C++ and real-time software architecture.
  • Logic Design: Proven experience designing system-level control logic, state machines, and sequencing.
  • Protocols: Hands-on experience with communication protocols such as CAN, SPI, Ethernet, or ARINC.
  • Validation Tools: Experience with model-based design tools (MATLAB/Simulink) and SIL/HIL testing.

Why This Role?

  • Elite Talent: Work alongside top engineering talent and innovators from across the aerospace and tech sectors.
  • Sustainable Culture: Maintain a rare 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM schedule while moving faster than industry standards.
  • Ownership: Take deep technical ownership of how complex control systems behave as a whole.
  • Comprehensive Benefits: Competitive compensation, equity participation, and full health/vision/dental/401K benefits.
