Firmware/ Embedded Systems Engineer

Job summary

Responsibilities

At Skild AI, we are building the world's first general purpose robotic intelligence that is robust and adapts to unseen scenarios without failing. We believe massive scale through data-driven machine learning is the key to unlocking these capabilities for the widespread deployment of robots within…

• Design, debug, and integrate low-level communication protocols such as RS-485, CAN, UART, and SPI.
• Develop firmware for microcontrollersand embedded Linux environments
• Implement and maintain real-time systems using RTOS (e.g., FreeRTOS, RT Linux, VxWorks).
• Collaborate with hardware engineers to bring up new PCBAs and integrate them into electromechanical systems
• Integrate firmware into higher-level communication frameworks, such as DDS (Distributed Data Service), e.g., ROS.

What they're looking for

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or Mechatronics.
• Hands-on experience in firmware development for robotics, motor control, or embedded systems.
• Expertise in BLDC motor control, including FOC (Field-Oriented Control), PWM, and current/position control techniques.
• Proficiency in low-level communication protocols such as RS-485, CAN, and SPI.
• Experience with real-time embedded systems (e.g., FreeRTOS, RT Linux).
