The RoleWe are looking for an Embedded Systems Engineer to design and maintain the firmware and hardware interfaces that make our robotic inspection platforms operate reliably in demanding field conditions.What You Will DoDesign and implement firmware for robotic control boards, sensor interfaces, and communication modulesDevelop and maintain hardware abstraction layers for sensors, actuators, and power systemsImplement and optimise communication protocols: CAN bus, RS-485, SPI, I2C, EthernetWork with ROS 2 hardware interfaces to expose embedded subsystems to the autonomy stackDesign and validate power management systems for extended field operationContribute to PCB design reviews and hardware bring-up processesDevelop automated test fixtures and HIL (hardware-in-the-loop) test environmentsWhat We Are Looking For3+ years of embedded firmware development in C/C++ for production hardwareExperience with real-time operating systems (FreeRTOS, Zephyr,



or bare-metal RTOS patterns)Strong understanding of communication protocols: CAN, SPI, I2C, UART, RS-485Experience integrating embedded systems with Linux-based compute platformsAbility to read and review schematics, contribute to hardware design discussionsExperience in an industrial, robotics, or safety-critical embedded context is highly regardedWhere You'll WorkOur head office is in Melbourne and we have a second office in Sydney.
We are open to adaptable and remote working arrangements anywhere in Australia for the right person, so where you are based should not stop you from applying.This role does involve periodic travel to sites where our systems are deployed, across infrastructure, rail and construction projects around the country.
