What is a Senior Embedded Engineer job?

A Senior Embedded Engineer designs, develops, and optimizes software and hardware for embedded systems. They work on firmware, low-level programming, device drivers, and system integration for products like IoT devices, automotive systems, and industrial equipment. Their role includes debugging, performance tuning, and ensuring compliance with industry standards. Additionally, they often mentor junior engineers and collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver efficient and reliable embedded solutions.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Senior Embedded Engineer position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Senior Embedded Engineer, you need deep expertise in embedded systems design, proficiency in programming languages like C/C++, and a solid understanding of hardware-software integration, usually supported by a relevant engineering degree. Familiarity with real-time operating systems (RTOS), debugging tools such as oscilloscopes and logic analyzers, and certifications like Certified Embedded Systems Engineer (CESE) are highly valued. Excellent problem-solving abilities, effective communication, and strong teamwork skills are key soft skills that distinguish top performers in this role. These competencies are crucial for delivering reliable, efficient solutions in complex projects and for seamless collaboration with cross-functional teams.

What are some typical challenges faced by Senior Embedded Engineers on the job?

Senior Embedded Engineers often encounter challenges such as optimizing code for limited hardware resources, integrating software with diverse hardware platforms, and troubleshooting complex system-level bugs. They may also face tight project deadlines and must ensure that products meet stringent quality and safety standards. Success in this role requires balancing technical problem-solving with clear communication among design, hardware, and quality assurance teams. Overcoming these challenges is both demanding and rewarding, as it directly contributes to the development of innovative, high-performing products.

Job description

Embedded Systems Engineer

Ghost Robotics is the industry leader in legged robotic systems that not only help our customers solve complex operational, national security, and technical challenges to save lives, reduce harm and improve outcomes.

We are looking for an Embedded Systems Engineer with a focus on firmware development to help address growing firmware needs across Ghost's Q-UGV platforms. This role is ideal for an engineer with some professional firmware experience who is ready to deepen their skills under the mentorship of our Senior Embedded Engineer while taking meaningful ownership of firmware development work. You will work on low-level firmware for embedded robotic subsystems including sensing, motor control, battery management, and high-speed communication.

This position reports to the Head of Electrical and Firmware Engineering and works closely with a team of interdisciplinary team of firmware, mechanical, electrical, and systems engineers.

What You'll Do

Firmware Development

  • Develop and maintain firmware in C or C++ for embedded robotic subsystems including position sensing, motor control, battery management, and real-time control loops.
  • Implement and optimize communication interfaces such as Ethernet, EtherCAT, QSPI, SPI, and I2C.
  • Integrate RGB, thermal/IR, TOF, gas, audio, and other task-specific sensors into Ghost's Q-UGV platforms at the firmware layer.
  • Support real-time system performance through interrupt scheduling, DMA, and RTOS-based development.
  • Contribute to revision-controlled firmware codebases and participate in code reviews.

Debugging and Integration

  • Debug firmware issues in a systematic manner, working closely with the Senior Embedded Engineer on root cause analysis.
  • Support board bring-up and hardware/software integration from the firmware side, partnering with electronics engineers who own the hardware design.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to integrate embedded subsystems into full robotic platforms.
  • Participate in design reviews and contribute to technical documentation.
Requirements

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or a related field.
  • 1 to 2 years of professional experience in embedded firmware development. Internship and co-op experience counts toward this.
  • Proficiency in firmware development in C or C++.
  • Familiarity with the STM32 MCU family or a comparable microcontroller family.
  • Demonstrated experience debugging embedded systems in a structured, systematic manner.
  • Strong track record with revision control (Git or similar).
  • Willingness to work closely with a senior mentor and accept direction while building independent ownership over time.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with FreeRTOS or another RTOS.
  • Experience with high-speed communication protocols such as Ethernet, EtherCAT, or QSPI, and techniques to manage high data throughput (DMA, interrupt scheduling).
  • Familiarity with firmware for brushless DC motor control, battery management systems, or power electronics.
  • Robotics, mechatronics, or mobile robotic systems experience.
  • Familiarity with reading schematics well enough to collaborate with electronics engineers on hardware integration.

Bachelor's degree required in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or a related field.

Location: Philadelphia, PA. No remote candidates considered at this time.

Travel: Limited.

Compensation and Benefits: Ghost Robotics offers competitive compensation, full benefits, equity incentives, and a flexible time-off policy. We prioritize results, collaboration, and building world-class systems with a high-performing team.

Additional Requirements

  • Must be able to clear standard employment background checks.
  • Permanent residency required.
  • Must be able to lift up to 20 pounds and work hands-on with hardware systems.

PLEASE NO RECRUITERS OR AGENCIES.
