Embedded/Firmware Engineer job at MyHR, LLC.. San Francisco, CA. Job Description

Job Description Company Description

Must be eligible to obtain a U.S. security clearance We’re looking for a hands-on Embedded/Firmware Engineer to design and build embedded systems for next-gen defense robotics. You’ll own the development of real-time firmware, embedded PCBs, sensor/motor integration, and field-ready electronics that power rugged, edge-deployed platforms. This role is ideal for engineers who thrive in high-stakes environments, love rapid prototyping, and enjoy collaborating across hardware, software, and robotics teams. Job Description

Firmware & Embedded Development Write and test embedded firmware for controllers, motor drivers, and sensors

Implement real-time control loops, sensor acquisition, and signal processing

Develop firmware testing and debugging tools to ensure reliability

PCB & System Design Design embedded PCBs integrating MCUs, sensors, drivers, and communication interfaces

Simulate and optimize for performance, durability, and noise immunity

Sensor & Motor Integration Integrate sensors (IMUs, LiDAR, cameras) and motors into embedded platforms

Build firmware for accurate, efficient motor control

Prototyping & Testing Assemble and field-test prototypes in rugged outdoor and defense-like conditions

Conduct environmental, shock, and vibration testing for reliability validation

Manufacturing & Scale-Up Lead design-for-manufacturing (DFM) reviews to ensure production readiness

Work closely with vendors and suppliers to meet quality and cost targets

Cross-Functional System Integration Collaborate with mechanical, optical, and robotics teams for full system integration

Build software interfaces with other computing systems across the platform

Support field deployments with hands-on troubleshooting and guidance

Documentation & Compliance Produce schematics, BOMs, wiring diagrams, and firmware documentation

Ensure systems meet safety, MIL-STD, and ITAR compliance requirements

Qualifications

3–8 years in embedded systems, firmware development, or robotics

Strong in embedded C/C++, with some Python

Familiar with RTOS, Altium/KiCad, and debugging tools

Experience with PCB design, sensor integration, motor control

Skilled in designing for EMI/EMC, thermal, and real-world rugged use

BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Robotics, or related field

Strong problem-solver with a bias for action and hands-on experimentation

Comfortable in fast-paced, cross-disciplinary environments

Excellent communicator and collaborator

Experience with rugged electronics in harsh environments

Familiarity with MIL-STD and ITAR compliance

Background in robotics or real-time control systems

Active or eligible for U.S. security clearance
