We are a recruiting agency partnering with a leading smart home security company to find a Senior Embedded Software Engineer for an exciting robotics project. Our client is developing a new mobile security device equipped with cameras and motion detection, capable of autonomous movement and app-based control. The hardware platform is already in place, and the firmware team in Ukraine and Poland is now building the embedded software layer for the product.

This is a strong opportunity to join a new product at an early stage, working closely with QA, Research, and Mobile teams in a mature agile environment with solid engineering practices, code reviews, and CI/CD.

What You Will Be Doing

• Design, develop, and optimize embedded software in C and C++ (primarily C++17) for a next-generation robotic security device

• Work across the embedded stack, from Linux BSP and low-level integration to ARM-based microcontrollers running RTOS

• Develop and maintain firmware components using Buildroot, Yocto, and CMake

• Debug and resolve complex software, hardware, and connectivity issues

• Contribute to the development of new features for a greenfield robotics product

• Optimize software performance for resource-constrained embedded environments

• Participate in code reviews and contribute to engineering best practices

• Collaborate with QA on test strategy and product quality improvements

• Prepare and maintain technical documentation for software design, APIs, and troubleshooting
  

What We Are Looking For

• 5+ years of commercial experience in embedded software development

• Strong commercial experience with C and C++ in low-level embedded environments

• Hands-on experience with RTOS and embedded development for microcontroller-based systems

• Solid Linux background and confidence working in Linux-based development environments

• Strong understanding of multithreading, network programming, and multicore embedded systems

• Good knowledge of hardware communication interfaces such as I2C, SPI, UART, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth

• Experience working close to hardware, including schematics and technical documentation

• Proficiency with development tools such as Git, CMake, and CI/CD pipelines

• Ability to work independently on complex engineering tasks and deliver production-ready solutions

• English level B2+
  

Nice to Have

• Experience with ROS or exposure to robotics-related systems

• Familiarity with modern security protocols and encryption methods

• Experience with Android OS internals
