What is the difference between Volunteer Embedded Firmware Engineer vs Embedded Software Developer?

AspectVolunteer Embedded Firmware EngineerEmbedded Software Developer
CredentialsRelevant technical skills, certifications optionalTypically requires a degree in computer science or related field
Work EnvironmentNon-profit, open-source projects, or hobbyist settingsCorporate, startup, or product development environments
Industry UsageUsed in community projects, research, or non-profit initiativesUsed in commercial product development and manufacturing
Search & Comparison IntentUnderstanding volunteer opportunities or hobbyist rolesExploring career or job opportunities in embedded systems

The Volunteer Embedded Firmware Engineer typically works on non-profit or hobbyist projects, focusing on firmware development without formal employment. In contrast, an Embedded Software Developer is usually employed by companies to develop embedded software for commercial products. While both roles require embedded programming skills, the context and expectations differ significantly.

Job description

About SF MOTORS, INC. (dba SERES)
SF Motors is building the next generation of intelligent robotic systems that combine advanced mobility, autonomy, and human-like adaptability. Our mission is to revolutionize how machines move, perceive, and interact in complex environments by integrating control engineering, artificial intelligence, and machine learning at every level of design.
Embedded Firmware Engineer II
Duties and Responsibilities
  • Develop and maintain firmware on STM32 / TI / Renesas MCU platforms
  • Implement and debug low-level drivers (ADC, GPIO, PWM, SPI, I2C, UART, DMA, Timers)
  • Support PCB bring-up, board validation, and hardware debugging
  • Develop and optimize communication stacks (CAN, CANFD, Ethernet, Modbus, etc.)
  • Write clean, maintainable C/C++ for real-time embedded systems
  • Diagnose hardware and firmware integration issues
  • Collaborate closely with hardware and controls engineers
  • Develop internal tools and test scripts (Python preferred)
  • Support firmware release cycles, regression testing, and documentation
  • Contribute to code reviews and design discussions
  • Design and implement firmware architectures that support scalable multi-actuator robotic systems
  • Develop robust communication interfaces between embedded firmware and high-level SDK layers
  • Define and maintain firmware-to-host communication protocols and command abstractions
  • Support kinematics-related data exchange and synchronization across distributed nodes
  • Ensure deterministic timing and low-latency communication across robotic joints
  • Participate in system-level debugging across firmware, SDK, and control layers
  • Optimize performance for multi-joint coordination and synchronized actuation

Qualifications
  • B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field
  • 3-5 years of embedded firmware experience
  • Strong proficiency in C (C++ a plus)
  • Hands-on experience with MCU peripherals and low-level driver development
  • Experience with board bring-up and debugging tools (oscilloscope, logic analyzer, JTAG)
  • Experience with real-time systems
  • Basic understanding of industrial communication protocols
  • Experience developing firmware for robotic systems, motor controllers, or multi-axis motion platforms
  • Understanding of motor control fundamentals (FOC, PID control, current/velocity/position loops)
  • Experience working with CAN-based multi-node robotic architectures
  • Familiarity with ROS / ROS2 or robotics middleware is a plus
  • Experience designing clean, stable SDK APIs for hardware abstraction
  • Familiarity with CI/CD workflows for embedded systems
  • Experience writing Python scripts for automation or testing preferred
  • Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced environment

Why Join Us
  • Tackle real-time systems, high-performance control, and multi-sensor fusion
  • Join a high-ownership, fast-paced startup environment
  • Contribute to true 0-to-1 development of next-generation robotics
