Robotics & Embedded Systems Engineer

We are developing an interactive educational robot powered by artificial intelligence and are seeking an experienced Robotics & Embedded Systems Engineer to design, build, and test the first functional prototype.

The robot will communicate through voice, support Arabic interaction, move based on voice commands, display educational content on a television, and provide additional smart functions such as alarms, reminders, time, date, temperature, and battery status.

Responsibilities

• Design the complete hardware and embedded systems architecture of the robot.
• Select and integrate processors, microcontrollers, motors, sensors, batteries, microphones, speakers, and displays.
• Develop and program the robot’s movement and motor control systems.
• Implement voice-controlled movement and core functions.
• Integrate obstacle detection, anti-fall sensors, speed limits, and emergency-stop features.
• Integrate Speech-to-Text, Text-to-Speech, and AI services.
• Configure microphones and speakers, including noise reduction and acoustic echo cancellation.
• Connect the robot to a television for displaying educational and interactive content.
• Program the internal display to show time, date, temperature, reminders, battery level, and system status.
• Design and test charging, battery protection, and power management systems.
• Assemble, test, troubleshoot, and optimize the full prototype.
• Prepare complete technical documentation, source code, schematics, and component lists.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechatronics Engineering, Robotics Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• Proven hands-on experience in robotics, embedded systems, or smart-device prototyping.
• Experience with Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson, or similar single-board computers.
• Experience with ESP32, STM32, Arduino, or similar microcontrollers.
• Strong programming skills in Python and Embedded C/C++.
• Experience with DC motors, servo motors, motor drivers, and encoders.
• Experience with ultrasonic, ToF, IMU, and obstacle detection sensors.
• Good knowledge of batteries, charging circuits, BMS, and power management.
• Experience with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, APIs, and IoT systems.
• Ability to assemble, solder, test, and troubleshoot electronic systems.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with ROS 2 or micro-ROS.
• PCB design experience using KiCad or Altium Designer.
• Mechanical design experience using SolidWorks or Fusion 360.
• Experience with 3D printing and prototype enclosure development.
• Experience with microphone arrays, digital audio, noise suppression, and echo cancellation.
• Experience integrating AI, Speech-to-Text, and Text-to-Speech APIs.
• Previous experience developing educational devices, smart toys, or child-focused products.

Expected Deliverables

• A fully functional and testable robot prototype.
• Complete Bill of Materials with specifications, estimated costs, and purchasing sources.
• System architecture and block diagrams.
• Wiring diagrams and electronic schematics.
• Complete and organized source code.
• PCB and mechanical design files, where applicable.
• Assembly, operation, and troubleshooting documentation.
• Testing reports covering movement, audio, sensors, battery, connectivity, and safety.
• Demonstration of all completed prototype functions.

Please submit:

• Your updated CV.
• Photos, videos, or links to relevant previous projects.
• A clear description of your role in each project.
• The platforms, programming languages, and engineering tools you use.
• A preliminary technical approach for the project.
• Estimated cost, timeline, milestones, and deliverables.
