Embedded Software Engineer (Motor Control)

About the role

We are looking for an Embedded Firmware Engineer with strong expertise in motor control systems to develop and optimise firmware for advanced robotic platforms. The role works closely with hardware, controls and robotics software teams to deliver real‑time embedded solutions for precision motion control.

Key responsibilities

• Design, develop and maintain embedded firmware for robotic actuators and motor‑control systems.
• Develop control algorithms for BLDC, PMSM, servo and stepper motors, including FOC, PID and sensor‑less techniques.
• Interface and integrate encoders, Hall sensors, IMUs and other feedback devices.
• Implement firmware on MCU platforms such as STM32, TI C2000, NXP or similar.
• Debug, test and validate embedded systems in laboratory and field environments.
• Optimise system performance for real‑time operation, reliability and safety.
• Collaborate with hardware, mechanical and software teams during product development.
• Support integration of actuators and motor drives into humanoid and mobile robotic systems.
• Prepare technical documentation, test reports and firmware release notes.

Required profile

• B.E./B.Tech/M.E./M.Tech in Electronics, Embedded Systems, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics or related fields.
• Hands‑on experience developing motor‑control firmware for BLDC, PMSM, servo or stepper motors.
• Familiarity with real‑time operating systems and safety‑critical embedded development.
• Experience working in robotics, humanoid robots, AGVs, AMRs or industrial automation is a plus.

Required skills

• Embedded C/C++ programming.
• Motor‑control firmware development (BLDC, PMSM, servo, stepper).
• Field‑Oriented Control (FOC) and PID tuning.
• Communication protocols: CAN, CANopen, SPI, I2C, UART, RS485, EtherCAT.
• RTOS concepts and real‑time embedded systems.
• Use of oscilloscopes, logic analyzers and debugging tools.
• Understanding of power electronics, motor drivers and embedded hardware design.
• Experience with MCU families such as STM32, TI C2000, NXP.
