Senior / Staff Embedded Software Engineer

Senior / Staff Embedded Software Engineer

Los Angeles, CA (On-site)

We’re partnering with a well-funded, cutting-edge robotics company building advanced, imaging-guided robotic systems for high-precision applications.

They’re hiring a Senior / Staff Embedded Software Engineer to develop mission-critical embedded and Linux-based software, working at the intersection of hardware, real-time systems, and controls.

What You’ll Do:

• Develop embedded C/C++ and Linux software for robotic systems
• Work across RTOS, bare-metal, and PREEMPT_RT Linux environments
• Integrate with servo drives, sensors, and peripheral hardware
• Debug latency, jitter, and real-time performance issues
• Design control interfaces and communication protocols
• Partner closely with hardware and controls teams for system bring-up

What They’re Looking For:

• 5+ years C/C++ development in embedded or robotics environments
• Strong experience with Linux + RTOS or bare-metal systems
• Background in real-time, mission-critical software
• Experience with hardware interfaces (I2C, SPI, CAN, etc.)
• Ability to analyze and optimize system performance

Nice to have: EtherCAT, CANOpen, motor control, robotics, safety-critical systems (ISO/IEC), or medical device experience

Why This Role?

• Work on next-gen robotic systems with real-world impact
• Deeply technical, hands-on engineering environment
• Strong compensation + benefits
• High ownership across embedded + system-level architecture
