Summary

Why RoboForce

RoboForce is an AI robotics company developing Physical AI-powered Robo-Labor for dull, dirty, and dangerous work. The company's robots are engineered for demanding industrial environments, with a focus on real-world deployment and scalability.

We are seeking a Senior/Staff Embedded Software Engineer, Robotic Devices to architect and develop the embedded systems that interface directly with our robot's physical hardware. In this role, you will work across embedded Linux, RTOS, and microcontroller platforms to design device drivers, middleware, and on-device software for sensors, actuators, and robotic subsystems. You will span vendor selection, low-level programming, system integration, and performance debugging-ensuring reliable operation at the boundary between software and the physical world.

Responsibilities
  • Embedded Systems Architecture: Lead the design, development, and deployment of embedded software stacks for robotic devices across embedded Linux, RTOS, and microcontroller-based platforms.
  • Device & Sensor Integration: Architect and implement software solutions for a wide range of sensors and devices, including vendor evaluation, on-device programming, communication protocols, and driver/middleware development.
  • Performance & Reliability Engineering: Perform in-depth performance analysis and hardware/software debugging to ensure real-time behavior, robustness, and reliability under demanding operating conditions.
  • Hardware-Software Co-Design: Apply a deep understanding of the physics of physical devices to inform system design, control interfaces, and performance tradeoffs.
  • Technical Leadership: Contribute to long-term technical roadmap planning, mentor junior and senior engineers, and uphold high standards through rigorous code reviews and best practices.

Requirements
  • Education: Bachelor's degree or higher in a STEM field.
  • Experience: 5+ years of experience building and shipping production-quality software, with a focus on embedded or systems-level development.
  • Programming Expertise: Strong proficiency in modern C++ and Python, with experience developing performance-critical and hardware-adjacent software.
  • Systems Engineering: Experience working with large, complex systems and building tooling to support development, testing, and deployment.
  • Hardware Literacy: Experience reviewing schematics and collaborating closely with hardware teams.
  • Quality & Testability: Strong commitment to software quality, including designing systems for testability, reliability, and long-term maintainability.
  • Requires 5 days/week in-office collaboration with the teams.

Bonus Qualifications
  • Robotics Frameworks: Experience with ROS-based robotics development.
  • Sensor Systems: Hands-on experience with camera, LiDAR, or radar integration.
  • Signal Processing & Control: Background in DSP, sensor calibration, and/or motor controller development.

Benefits
  • Competitive stock options/equity programs.
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) plan.
  • Visa sponsorship and support for qualified candidates.
  • Lunches and dinners, a fully stocked kitchen, and regular team-building events.
