About the role
To apply for this role, provide us with the best evidence of your ability to execute. We would like to see what you have designed, built, and tested, so please include links, video, and photographs. A resume is welcome but not required. None of this has to be a perfect match. We care more about raw ability than a checklist, so if that's you, reach out.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, or another engineering discipline
- 8+ years of embedded firmware experience, including ownership of a complete stack on hardware that shipped and was used by real people
- Proficiency in embedded C or C++ and real-time systems
- BLDC motor control at the loop level: FOC, current and torque control, and position, velocity, or impedance control
- Full time and in person in Palo Alto
- Travel to field tests, including overseas
More about this role
Edgerun's mission is to remove civilization-level physical constraints limiting the human body. We believe a future where humans keep pushing into the unknown is far better than one where we send machines in our place. That starts on the battlefield, doubling what a soldier can carry and how far they can carry it. Read more about our mission here .
As a Principal Engineer of Embedded Systems, you will be responsible for advancing technical boundaries of firmware and control for the world's most advanced powered exoskeleton systems, worn by soldiers in active combat. You will work with a talented team of accomplished engineers to develop the embedded software stack, including real-time motor control, gait detection, human intent inference, and sensor fusion. You should thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment where you adapt quickly, love to solve hard problems, and are confident enough to make the call and secure enough to take real pushback on it.
This is a foundational role. Your architecture and decisions will define what this company builds for years to come.
- Own the full control stack: FOC and current loop, torque control, joint control, the gait and assist algorithm,...
