Job description
  • Design and develop low-power electrical architectures, including power distribution and management systems, for autonomous robotic platforms (especially battery-powered / aerial).
  • Design, layout, fabricate, and test custom PCBs for sensor integration, power management, motor control, and embedded processing.
  • Select, integrate, and interface various sensors (e.g., IMUs, LiDAR, cameras, GPS, encoders) at the hardware level, ensuring signal integrity.
  • Develop and test embedded software / firmware (C / C++) for microcontrollers (e.g., ARM Cortex-M, ESP32) and potentially SoCs for real-time control, sensor data acquisition, and communication.
  • Implement and manage communication interfaces and protocols (e.g., I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, Ethernet, Wi-Fi).
  • Work with real-time operating systems (RTOS) and / or embedded Linux environments.
  • Integrate and test embedded systems with flight control systems (e.g., PX4) at the hardware and firmware level.
  • Investigate and potentially implement firmware optimizations for edge AI tasks on resource-constrained hardware (MCUs, potentially NPUs / embedded GPUs).
  • Conduct validation and performance testing (including flight tests) focusing on electrical robustness, power efficiency, signal integrity, and embedded system performance.
  • Collaborate closely with mechanical, control, software, and AI engineers to ensure seamless hardware / firmware integration.
  • Create and maintain thorough technical documentation (schematics, PCB layouts, firmware specifications, test plans / reports).

    • Requirements

    Required Qualifications :

    • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
    • 3+ years of experience in robotics hardware, electrical, or embedded systems design and development, or equivalent academic R&D experience.
    • Proficiency in C / C++ programming for embedded platforms.
    • Strong hands-on experience with PCB design tools (e.g., Altium, KiCad, Eagle), circuit design, simulation (e.g., SPICE), and board bring-up / debugging.
    • Solid understanding of microcontroller architectures, embedded systems design, digital and analog electronics, and communication protocols.
    • Experience with sensor integration and signal conditioning.
    • Experience with RTOS and / or embedded Linux.

      • Preferred Qualifications :

    • PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
    • Experience designing energy-efficient systems and advanced power management techniques, especially for aerial platforms.
    • Experience integrating hardware accelerators (e.g., NPUs, embedded GPUs, FPGAs) at the hardware / firmware level.
    • Familiarity with deploying optimized AI models (e.g., using TensorFlow Lite, ONNX Runtime, TensorRT) on embedded targets.
    • Experience with flight control systems (e.g., PX4) hardware / firmware integration.
    • Familiarity with relevant robotics safety standards (e.g., ISO 10218, ISO 13849) and functional safety concepts (e.g., ISO 26262, IEC 61508).
    • Experience with high-speed digital design or RF design.
    • Demonstrated ability to prototype, deploy, and iterate on electrical / embedded solutions in field environments.
    • Experience with ROS / ROS2 interaction at the embedded level.
    • A strong research record or portfolio in embedded systems, robotics hardware, or real-time processing.
