About the role

Embedded Software Engineer at Weave Robotics responsible for connecting custom hardware to intelligent robot behavior across the robotics stack, from hardware bring-up to production-ready software for home robots.

Responsibilities

  • Develop production embedded software: Design, implement, test, and maintain embedded software for robotic systems using modern C++. Develop firmware, device drivers, communication stacks (SPI, I²C, RS-485, CAN/CAN FD, Ethernet, or EtherCAT), and interfaces for sensors, actuators, GMSL cameras, and embedded peripherals.
  • Bring up new hardware: Collaborate with hardware and electrical engineers to integrate new carrier boards, and validate system functionality.
  • Build real-time systems: Develop deterministic software that meets timing constraints while managing concurrency, resource limitations, and hardware failures.
  • Design for reliability: Build diagnostics, health monitoring, calibration, and fault-handling systems that improve robot robustness and serviceability.
  • Debug across the stack: Investigate issues spanning hardware, firmware, and robotics software using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, debuggers, and other engineering tools.
  • Build production software: Write maintainable, production-quality code that supports both rapid iteration and long-term reliability.

Qualifications

  • Embedded systems expertise: 4+ years of embedded Linux/systems software development, including hands-on bringup on modern application-class SoCs (NVIDIA Jetson, preferred)
  • Hardware bring-up: Experience with microcontrollers, device drivers, peripherals, board support packages, and custom hardware bring-up.
  • Modern C++: Strong proficiency developing production-quality C++ software for embedded or real-time systems.
  • Systems programming: Strong understanding of Linux systems programming, including threading, synchronization, memory management, IPC, scheduling, and performance optimization. Familiarity with the embedded Linux stack, including U-Boot, device trees, kernel configuration, and Buildroot or Yocto.
  • Hardware/software debugging: Comfortable reading schematics, probing hardware with oscilloscopes and logic analyzers, and debugging issues that span electrical, firmware, and software boundaries.
