Locus Robotics is a leader in the rapidly growing eCommerce order fulfillment optimization space. Our solution helps warehouse owners attain 2-3X efficiency improvement over cart-picking operations, by empowering pickers to work collaboratively with our robots. All this is accomplished while integrating with the operator’s Warehouse Management System, utilizing and optimizing existing facility infrastructure. This is an opportunity to be part of an incredible team deploying cutting-edge robotics solutions to address real-world challenges in e-commerce fulfillment warehouses for major global brands.
Locus Robotics is seeking a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to join our cross-functional Embedded team. In this role, you will contribute to the design, development, and maintenance of embedded firmware for our Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) and their charging systems.
This hybrid role is based in our Wilmington, MA office.
Responsibilities
- Develop and optimize embedded software solutions to enhance robotic capabilities and integrate new features for AMRs.
- Participate in design and code reviews, collaborating with team members to ensure high-quality software development.
- Conduct comprehensive testing of embedded software to ensure reliability, safety, and high performance.
- Troubleshoot and resolve electrical and firmware issues encountered during development, production, and in-field operations.
- Provide ongoing maintenance to support the continuous functionality and improvement of the integrated robotic systems.
- Operate independently in a fast-paced environment, demonstrating initiative and leadership while engaging in cross-team collaboration as needed.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- 5+ years of experience programming in Object-Oriented languages, including C/C++, and Python, specifically on “bare metal” microcontrollers.
- Proven experience with high-volume electro-mechanical products and embedded microcontroller peripheral configuration, including Interrupts, Timers, DMAs, and communication interfaces (e.g., UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, USB, Ethernet).
- 3+ years of experience working in a Linux environment and with Robot Operating Systems (ROS).
- 5+ years of experience with robotics and robotic solutions in at least two of the following areas: Motor control, Lithium battery systems, Sensor interfacing, Control theory, Wireless communication, Bootloaders.
- Proficiency in reading electrical schematics and using test equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters) to troubleshoot electrical and firmware issues independently.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to manage multiple critical projects in a dynamic environment.

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.
