Job Description

We are making the world a more walkable place. Through intuitive personal mobility, we make walking faster, more efficient, and more accessible, empowering people to choose walking over sitting in traffic.

Our flagship product, Moonwalkers, are the world’s fastest robotic shoes, augmenting natural walking with intelligent locomotion assistance. By giving people the ability to Moonwalk, we believe the path toward a more human-scale future can be reached on your own two feet.

We are covered in Wired, CNET, Gizomodo, PCMag and many other tech press.

The Role

We are building the next generation of Moonwalkers and are looking for engineers who thrive in fast-paced environments where hardware, software, and human motion intersect. As a Robotics Software Engineer for our Embedded Systems team, you will play a critical role in designing, prototyping, and testing the reliable, innovative hardware and software systems that power our mobility solutions.

Responsibilities

  • Embedded Development: Design, develop, and maintain embedded software for wearable robotics, including system software, RTOS, bootloaders, and Built-In Self-Test (BIST) software.
  • System Architecture & Coding: Lead the system architecture design of the overall product firmware, write core code, and ensure the delivery of high-quality, safety-critical software solutions.
  • Hardware Integration: Collaborate tightly with hardware engineers to integrate software with complex hardware components, including motor controllers, sensors, and communication interfaces.
  • System-Level Validation: Design and build advanced test frameworks and use cases to verify hardware/software integration. Implement rigorous test plans across all phases of the software development lifecycle to identify and resolve complex system defects.
  • Code Quality & CI/CD: Organize and lead code reviews, manage merge conflicts, and maintain repository health. Implement and optimize CI/CD pipelines and automated testing.
  • Production Support: Architect and maintain production-line testing software. Optimize mass-production test workflows and provide software-perspective insights to hardware teams during cross-departmental troubleshooting.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration & Documentation: Work seamlessly with mechanical engineers, algorithm developers, and product managers. Create comprehensive technical documentation, including design specs, test plans, and user manuals, ensuring smooth knowledge transfer.
