APPLY HERE
Location: Bengaluru
Company: Armatrix
In this role, you will lead the design and implementation of the embedded systems that power our robots in high-stakes, safety-critical environments, from custom PCB layouts and circuit simulations to fault-tolerant control architectures. As a Founding Engineer, you will own the entire hardware-software interface, making fundamental architectural choices and building the systems from the ground up to ensure our snake-like robotic arms operate reliably in the most unstructured and hazardous spaces.
Responsibilities and Duties
- Lead PCB Design & Debugging by implementing layouts that incorporate advanced debugging components and refining setups to rapidly resolve hardware bottlenecks.
- Execute Circuit Simulation and Validation using industry-standard tools to analyze component tolerances and set performance benchmarks.
- Develop End-Effector Systems by verifying sensors (LiDAR, ultrasonic, strain gauges, NDT) and designing signal conditioning circuits for precise inspection tasks.
- Architect Embedded Firmware using C/C++ to optimize drivers and manage complex communication protocols including CAN, SPI, I2C, and Ethernet.
- Ensure Signal Integrity and Resilience by developing strategies to mitigate noise, timing mismatches, and environmental interference in safety-critical systems.
- Collaborate on System Integration to ensure sensor compatibility with the arm’s actuation and overall communication framework.
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, or a related field.
- 1-2 years of experience in PCB design, simulation, and hardware debugging.
- Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded software development and firmware design.
- Strong understanding of communication protocols (I2C, SPI, UART, CAN) and related hardware challenges.
- Experience with sensor interfacing and signal conditioning for real-world applications.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with RTOS and real-time firmware design.
- Experience developing robotics-specific hardware or end-effector systems.
- Background in industrial inspection or NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) sensor integration.
