About the role
As a Staff Firmware Engineer on the Core Platform team in Boston, you will play a critical role in developing the firmware that powers our next generation of humanoid robots. In this position you will work at the intersection of robotics, embedded systems, and real-time control, building the software that enables advanced motion, balance, and interaction with complex environments.
What they're looking for
- 8+ years of experience in embedded systems development, preferably in robotics
- Proficiency in C and C++ for microcontrollers, with experience in RTOS (e.g., FreeRTOS, Zephyr) and bare-metal systems
- Hands-on experience with ARM Cortex, STM32, or similar platforms
- Familiarity with communication protocols such as UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, and Ethernet
- Strong understanding of control systems, kinematics, and motion algorithms
- Experience with debugging tools like oscilloscopes and logic analyzers
More about this role
Here at Humanoid, we believe in a future where robots amplify human potential. That’s why we’ve set out on a mission to build the world’s most capable, commercially-scalable, and safe humanoid robots. We’re bringing that mission to life with HMND‑01 - our rapidly developed humanoid platform being deployed in real industrial environments - and we’re growing the team to take it even further.
