Job Description
About Autoware Lab
Autoware Lab is an early-stage Deep-Tech Startup specializing in Robotics + AI. We are looking for an Embedded ROS Engineer to join our team.
The Role: Embedded ROS Engineer
As an Embedded ROS Engineer, you will be crucial in owning the low-level control, hardware integration, and real-time communication layer of our robotic platform. This role perfectly bridges software and hardware, ideal for engineers who thrive working close to the metal while building scalable robotics systems.
Responsibilities
- Develop embedded software for motor controllers, sensors, and power systems.
- Integrate hardware components into ROS2-based architecture.
- Build drivers for LiDAR, cameras, IMUs, encoders, and actuators.
- Implement real-time communication between embedded systems and ROS.
- Optimize performance and reliability of robotic subsystems.
- Support bring-up of new hardware platforms.
- Debug hardware/software issues in real-world environments.
- Collaborate closely with Robotics, Mechatronics, and AI teams.
Requirements
- 3+ years experience in Embedded Systems and/or Robotics.
- Strong C++ and Python programming skills.
- Experience with ROS / ROS2.
- Hands-on experience with microcontrollers or SBCs (STM32, Raspberry Pi, Jetson, etc.).
- Familiarity with communication protocols: CAN, UART, SPI, I2C, Ethernet.
- Understanding of real-time systems.
- Comfortable working with physical robots and electronics.
- Possess a startup mindset: practical, hands-on, ownership-driven.
Nice to Have
- Experience with tracked or mobile robots.
- Linux kernel / driver experience.
- Navigation stack integration (Nav2).
- Experience with power management and battery systems.
- Exposure to safety-critical systems.
What We Offer
- Ownership of the robot’s core hardware interface.
- Opportunity to work on real humanoid robotic platforms.
- Competitive salary.
- Join a small, fast-moving engineering team.
- Direct influence on system architecture.
- Opportunity to build from prototype to deployment.
