Experience with embedded interfaces including SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, and GPIO, plus signal-level debugging

Experience with real-time Linux or an RTOS and an understanding of latency, scheduling, jitter, and determinism

Desired Skills & Experience

Experience integrating machine vision systems and working with OpenCV, GigE Vision, USB3 Vision, or similar technologies

Knowledge of motion control concepts including servo tuning, trajectory generation, path planning, and force/torque control

Experience using ML inference runtimes such as TFLite, ONNX, or TensorRT within control or perception pipelines

Exposure to Gazebo, NVIDIA Isaac Sim, MoveIt, or other simulation and digital twin environments

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a related field

What You Will Be Doing

Daily Responsibilities

100% Hands On

Design and implement software that connects ML inference outputs to motion controllers, servo drives, actuators, industrial I/O, and robot controllers

Develop ROS 2 nodes, hardware abstraction layers, device drivers, and industrial communication stacks

Build real-time and near-real-time control loops on Linux and RTOS targets while managing latency and determinism requirements

Integrate machine vision and camera systems, including acquisition pipelines, calibration, and downstream control logic

Create hardware-in-the-loop and integration test infrastructure and troubleshoot issues across software, firmware, hardware, and system interfaces

The Offer

Hybrid schedule with 2-3 days onsite per week in Wilmington, Massachusetts
