Robotics Hardware & Field Engineer
📌Zurich, Switzerland 🇨🇭
⏱︎ full-time
🧙♂️ mid-level
on-site
We are looking for a hands-on Robotics Hardware and Field Engineer to join our team and bridge the gap between hardware development and real-world robot deployment. We’re a young and dynamic team, and your role will be broad and impactful – from assembling and testing new hardware prototypes to deploying systems at customer sites and gathering critical feedback.
You’ll work side by side with the founding team to shape our technology, company, and culture. At RoBoa, you’ll grow with the company and take on real responsibility from day one. You’ll gain deep insights into building robotics systems that solve meaningful challenges in industrial infrastructure. If you’re looking for variety, ownership, and a team where your work makes a difference, this is for you!
As an ideal candidate, you will be highly motivated, eager to work on a challenging deep-tech topic with real-world impact, capable of working autonomously and in small teams, and have a strong desire to build and deploy robust robotic hardware.
Responsibilities
- Assemble, integrate, and test complex robotic prototypes and products.
- Contribute to the mechanical and electrical design process based on hands-on experience.
- Travel to customer sites within Switzerland and internationally for deployments, training, and support.
- Operate, maintain, and troubleshoot robotic systems in challenging field environments.
- Act as the technical point of contact for customers on-site, building trusted relationships.
-
Communicate field insights and technical feedback to the core engineering team to drive product improvements.
- Strong motivation and goal-oriented working attitude.
- Comfortable working independently and in small teams, and willing to take responsibility.
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering.
- Hands-on experience building, testing, or debugging complex hardware systems.
- Excellent problem-solving skills and a pragmatic mindset.
- Willingness to travel regularly for deployments.
-
Fluent English speaker; German is a strong plus.
- Experience in a field service, application engineering, or customer-facing technical role.
- Hands-on experience with CAD, soldering, or sensor integration.
-
Familiarity with robotic systems, software (Python, ROS, Linux), and system-level troubleshooting.
- Direct collaboration with the founders and the chance to actively shape our product and company.
- Opportunity to grow into a core role in an early-stage robotics startup.
- Competitive compensation package.
- Exposure to real-world deployments and pilot customers.
- A team culture focused on technical excellence, openness, and shared ownership.
-
Regular joint team activities including team dinners and surprise events.
Please apply through our online application form and have your cover letter, CV, transcript and/or reference at hand. Applications via email, LinkedIn, or other channels are not accepted.

Senior Embedded Software Engineer
@ Embedd 
What we're looking for
At embedd.it, we power hardware-software integration in embedded devices. We turn fragmented semiconductor chip data into configurable digital twins, then deterministically generate code, tests, and documentation – making integration faster, cheaper, and resilient to supply chain shocks.
We’re looking for a true legend – someone with abstract thinking and deep expertise in low-level software development. You’ll build vendor-agnostic tooling for MCU and peripheral integration to solve hardware-software integration once and for all. We work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generation, compilers, and machine learning. It’s your chance to help redefine how low-level development is done.
Responsibilities
- Drive the architecture of the driver structures and system layout
- Define scalable patterns for cross-architectural integration across bare-metal, Zephyr, Linux, and other environments
- Deconstruct complex SoC device trees and translate hardware descriptions into structured internal models for automated reasoning
- Partner with the ML team to shape data and annotation models for AI-driven data-extraction tooling
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in embedded systems development, including bare-metal and RTOS-based systems
- Proficiency in C/C++
- Familiarity with firmware configuration, SoC bring-up, and system-level debugging
- Hands-on experience with code generation tools, or low-level compiler/decompiler/emulator technologies
- Strong background in embedded toolchains: compilers, linkers, debuggers, and build systems
- Python or scripting for automation and tooling is a plus
- Experience with functional-safety standards is a plus
Why embedd.it?
- Dynamic, venture-backed team of engineers challenging the status quo 🚀
- Work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generators, compilers, and ML 🤖
- Unusual challenges requiring out-of-the-box abstract thinking 🧠
- Competitive compensation: cash + equity 💰
- Remote work possible 🌍
About Us
embedd.it is a UK-based startup reinventing embedded development. Our platform transforms unstructured semiconductor data into structured digital twins, enabling automatic generation of drivers, tests, and documentation. We're building a single, traceable source of truth to make integration fast, vendor-agnostic, and future-proof.
