Firmware Engineer

Mind Robotics is focused on building generalized physical AI for robotic systems. They are seeking a Firmware Engineer to develop and maintain embedded software that powers their robots, handling everything from low-level motor control to communication protocols.

Responsibilities:

• Write, test, and maintain production-quality firmware in C/C++ or Rust for microcontrollers and embedded processors across the robot
• Implement and debug embedded communication protocols — CAN, EtherCAT, I2C, SPI, UART — across distributed hardware nodes
• Configure and manage microcontroller peripherals — GPIO, ADC, PWM, timers, and DMA — to interface with sensors, actuators, and power electronics
• Integrate sensors (encoders, IMUs, torque sensors, force/torque arrays) into the robot's real-time pipeline
• Work closely with electrical engineers on board bring-up, pinout definitions, and hardware-software interface design
• Develop and tune real-time control loops for motors, actuators, and other physical systems under hard timing constraints
• Build tooling to support firmware validation, regression testing, and hardware-in-the-loop systems
• Triage and debug complex interactions between firmware, hardware, and higher-level software during development and field deployment
