Your Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain firmware for servo controllers and sensor boards
• Implement communication layers between MCUs and ROS2 host systems
• Integrate force/torque sensors and encoders at firmware level
• Debug timing issues in real-time control loops
• Support hardware bring-up for new actuator and gripper modules

Essential Skills

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Embedded Systems, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
• C/C++ for embedded targets (ESP32, STM32)
• Communication protocols: UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, UDP
• Real-time programming and timing-critical systems
• Basic electronics debugging (oscilloscope, logic analyzer)

Beneficial Skills

• Servo/motor control experience (Dynamixel, ODrive, or similar)
• ROS2 integration from embedded side
• Experience with robotic grippers or end-effectors
• German language skills

What we offer

• A dynamic high-tech company combined with financial soundness and world-class investors.
• Join an interdisciplinary, international team with 60+ different nationalities in a collaborative work environment.
