Adapt and integrate a safety-certifiable RTOS and associated drivers for purpose-built robotic control hardware.
Collaborate with hardware engineers to design, develop, and optimize high-performance safety-critical systems.
Develop and adapt device drivers for hardware peripherals including GPIO, EtherCAT, and SPI.
Build tools to monitor, verify, and optimize real-time system performance and deterministic behavior.
Contribute to deterministic and reproducible build and test environments.
Collaborate with functional safety engineers on safety standards, audits, and traceability requirements.
Develop OTA updates, calibration management, and software deployment strategies.
Solve complex embedded software challenges with a multidisciplinary robotics team.

MS in computer engineering, computer science, or a related discipline.
Experience with safety-certifiable RTOSes such as PX5, ThreadX, or SafeRTOS.
Expertise in operating-system fundamentals, including real-time scheduling and memory management.
Strong understanding of ARM 64 hardware architecture and experience with multicore SoCs, interprocess/intercore communications, and atomic operations.
Production experience with Ethernet, EtherCAT, or CAN communication protocols.
Proficiency in low-level programming with C and assembly.
Understanding of bootloaders, hardware abstraction layers, and board support packages.
Hands-on experience with oscilloscopes, hardware debuggers, and high-speed tracing techniques such as HSSTP.
Understanding of compilers, linkers, debuggers, and static analysis tools.
Familiarity with functional safety concepts, MISRA compliance, and related standards.
Knowledge of ARM SIMD/NEON extensions, additional programming languages, multi-language build systems, ROS 2 middleware, and Docker is preferred.
