ManufacturingSemiconductor
Responsibilities
Write, operate, and debug software and firmware for complex robotics with hard real-time constraints
Work in cross-functional teams to take projects from concept to production
Work with electrical engineers to ensure boards meet requirements
Work at multiple levels of the software stack: you’ll implement firmware, design a protocol, implement it in multiple languages, and deliver to users
Qualification
Required
5 + years of industry experience with embedded systems programming, particularly for ARM architectures and real-time operating systems (RTOS)
Multi programming language fluency. Ability to code fluently in multiple languages, at multiple levels of the stack. Our embedded engineers primarily use C++ and Python. Experience with similar languages is ok, and knowledge of Go is a bonus
A deep understanding of how computers work. Our work involves a variety of processors and computing environments, including Linux, FreeRTOS, and bare-metal
Undergraduate-level knowledge of Operating Systems, Networks, Concurrency & execution models, and Computer architecture. Experience designing, building, and shipping complex distributed software systems that control hardware, as part of a team
A first-principles mindset — you question assumptions, reframe problems from the ground up, and approach challenges with a foundational understanding rather than relying solely on precedent
Bachelor of Science in Computer Science or a related field
Preferred
Experience writing APIs and infrastructure that support operation of manufacturing nodes, material transport systems, and the system-level controller. Our monolithic central controller (Go, Postgres, gRPC) communicates with a distributed network of physical machines
Experience with instrumenting software for observability and debugging
Experience with version control, Infrastructure-as-Code, and DevOps workflows
Familiarity with the fundamentals of robotic systems, such as feedback control systems, motion planning, and computer vision
Familiarity with CAD and CAM software, focusing on geometry engines, toolpath generation, and machining strategies
