What is the difference between Senior Embedded Controls Engineer vs Embedded Software Engineer?

AspectSenior Embedded Controls EngineerEmbedded Software Engineer
CredentialsBachelor's/Master's in Electrical, Mechanical, or Computer Engineering; experience in controls systemsBachelor's/Master's in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field
Work EnvironmentDesigning and testing embedded control systems in industrial, automotive, or robotics sectorsDeveloping software for embedded devices across various industries
Industry UsageAutomotive, manufacturing, robotics, aerospaceConsumer electronics, IoT devices, automotive, industrial automation

The Senior Embedded Controls Engineer focuses on designing and implementing control algorithms for embedded systems, often requiring knowledge of hardware integration and control theory. In contrast, Embedded Software Engineers primarily develop software for embedded devices, emphasizing coding, debugging, and software architecture. Both roles require embedded systems knowledge but differ in their core responsibilities and industry applications.

Job description

Company
AnySignal is a startup whose mission is to usher in the next generation of RF products and services. For the most demanding space and defense missions, AnySignal provides a flexible platform with world-class performance that is easy to deploy, monitor, purchase, and upgrade. Our team has a diverse range of backgrounds spanning cloud computing, artificial intelligence, communications and sensing, embedded systems, and more.
About the Role
This role spans COTS integration and custom firmware development. You'll commission and tune drive hardware, close loops on real motors, and build embedded software for our own control electronics - all in service of high-accuracy tracking on deployed systems.
What You'll Do
  • Own the motion control stack from controller design through field performance, including tuning, validation, and long-term reliability
  • Design, implement, and tune closed-loop control systems (cascaded PID, feedforward, gain scheduling) on real hardware
  • Implement trajectory generation and tracking algorithms for high-rate target profiles
  • Design and develop embedded firmware for a custom motor control board
  • Integrate with higher-level software systems for scheduling, telemetry, and remote operations
  • Instrument the control system for observability - logging, metrics, diagnostics - so we can monitor fleet health and debug remotely
  • Design calibration and self-check routines that keep performance tight over time and across deployed units
  • Build HIL/SIL test environments and validate control software before field deployment
  • Characterize system dynamics - friction, compliance, inertia - and translate into controller performance
Required
  • Real experience closing feedback control loops on real motors - not just simulation
  • C/C++ on embedded or real-time platforms (RTOS, bare-metal, or RT Linux)
  • Hands-on integration with servo drives, motor controllers, or similar electromechanical systems
  • Comfortable with hardware interfaces (SPI, CAN, RS-485, EtherCAT, GPIO)
  • Ability to read schematics and debug at the board level
Nice to Have
  • Experience with commercial motion controllers (Galil, Delta Tau, PMAC, or similar)
  • Antenna pointing, telescope tracking, or robotics background
  • Firmware development for custom PCBs (MCU bring-up, BSP, peripheral drivers)
  • Python for tooling and test automation
  • Familiarity with satellite orbital mechanics or two-axis mount kinematics

Export Control Requirements
To comply with U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including ITAR, applicants must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, protected individual under 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the necessary authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
Equal Opportunity & Accommodations
AnySignal is committed to building an inclusive and accessible workplace where all employees feel respected, supported, and able to contribute fully. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds, including women, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and members of underrepresented communities.
