What is an Embedded Engineer at Foundation Robotics Labs?
An Embedded Engineer at Foundation Robotics Labs sits at the critical intersection of physical hardware and intelligent autonomous systems. In this role, you are responsible for developing the low-level software, firmware, and integration pipelines that bring autonomous vehicles and advanced robotic systems to life. The code you write directly dictates how sensors, actuators, and compute platforms interact in real-time, making safety, performance, and deterministic execution paramount.
The impact of this position cannot be overstated. Whether you are placed within the Autonomous Vehicle Team or the Automation Hardware & Software Integration Team, your work directly influences the safety and reliability of physical platforms operating in the real world. You will design and implement safety-critical firmware, optimize data pipelines for high-throughput sensors, and build robust hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing environments to validate system behavior under extreme edge cases.
At Foundation Robotics Labs, embedded engineering is not just about writing device drivers; it is about co-designing the future of robotics. You will collaborate closely with hardware designers, systems engineers, and high-level perception and planning teams. This cross-functional environment requires you to possess not only deep low-level systems knowledge but also the architectural foresight to ensure your code scales seamlessly across complex, distributed robotic networks.
