What You Will Do
Sensor & Hardware Integration: Interface with LiDARs, IMUs, GPS, RTK, cameras, and other components via SPI, I2C, CAN, UART, and custom protocols. Firmware Architecture & Development: Design and implement robust embedded firmware for real-time systems involving motor control and sensor fusion Hardware Bring-up: Lead board bring-up efforts for new prototypes and production hardware. Diagnostics & Debugging: Use tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and accelerometers to troubleshoot system-level issues. System Optimization: Improve performance, power consumption, and reliability for embedded platforms under constrained environments. Technical Leadership: Mentor junior engineers, set best practices for system development, system testing and technical roadmapping. Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration: Work with mechanical, electrical, perception, and AI teams to ensure seamless hardware-software integration. About the Role
We are looking for a Senior Staff Systems Engineer to lead the development of advanced embedded systems powering our next-generation drones, LiDAR modules, and robotic platforms. In this highly technical role, you will architect real-time mechanical, motorized complete solutions that directly interface with complex sensors, actuators, and compute modules—driving autonomy, control systems and data gathering across our products. This position is in
Sunnyvale, CA
and is onsite Monday through Friday. Basic Qualifications
BS/MS/PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Robotics, or a related field. 10+ years of embedded systems experience, ideally in robotics, aerospace, or automotive environments. Proficiency in C/C++ for microcontrollers and embedded motor control and/or sensor based systems Experience with control systems (e.g., PID, ESCs, PWM, motor drivers). Experience with sensors and electronic systems, have designed all parts of a hardware product. Experience with high precision, durable mechanical systems using automated motion control. Maker mindset, you have no problem grabbing a tool to just go get that prototype built! Experienced in first principles engineering and problem solving Track record of commitment to prior employers Preferred Qualifications
Familiarity with ROS/ROS 2, or SLAM systems. Experience with LiDAR calibration, point cloud data handling, and sensor synchronization. Python scripting for test automation or debugging. Experience in application development for iOS and Android Perks & Benefits
When you join CoStar Group, you’ll experience a collaborative and innovative culture working alongside the best and brightest to empower our people and customers to succeed. We offer you generous compensation and performance-based incentives. CoStar Group also invests in your professional and academic growth with internal training, tuition reimbursement, and an inter-office exchange program.
