Bots Unlimited, LLC
About Bots Unlimited
Bots Unlimited is a San Antonio based product development and hardware company that designs, produces, and supports high performance technology for drones, robotics, automation, and edge AI systems. We create advanced camera modules, long range wireless solutions, embedded compute platforms, and propulsion electronics, working closely with trusted manufacturing partners to deliver reliable hardware with a globally resilient supply chain. We also provide customers with supply chain support and manufacturing services to help bring complete products to market. We operate in a fast moving, execution focused environment where team members own their work end to end and are trusted to manage themselves with a high level of accountability. Our team values initiative, clear communication, and a strong sense of responsibility, qualities that let us move quickly and ship production-ready hardware. If you are interested in building better products, we might be the right fit for you.
Position Overview You’ll contribute to full-stack embedded development—from writing low-level Linux drivers to bringing up hardware prototypes in the lab. The work involves integrating high-performance camera sensors, wireless communication modules, and real-time subsystems on modern embedded Linux platforms. You'll be part of a small, fast-moving team shipping systems that operate in real environments, not just test benches.
This is a full-time, exempt position reporting to the VP of Engineering. This position is remote with travel up to 25% to our company headquarters or other locations.
Key Responsibilities
Develop and maintain Linux kernel drivers and low-level system software for embedded compute platforms, wireless modules, and custom MIPI image sensors
Build and integrate software stacks for Wi-Fi and RF communication modules, including power management, firmware bring-up, and regulatory tuning
Port and debug embedded Linux builds on Qualcomm Snapdragon platforms (Yocto, AOSP experience a plus)
Work with device trees, bootloaders, and system bring‑up for new hardware platforms
Perform hardware‑software integration, including camera tuning, I2C/SPI debug, and scope/logic analyzer work
Collaborate with hardware and mechanical teams to validate new designs and support board bring‑up
Support integration and troubleshooting efforts for customers using our hardware, including driver‑level debugging and system‑level recommendations
Troubleshoot and optimize embedded systems for performance, stability, and RF compliance
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience)
Strong experience with Linux kernel development, kernel module creation, and driver debugging
Solid understanding of MIPI CSI interfaces, camera sensor integration, and V4L2 pipeline
Familiarity with wireless driver stacks (Wi‑Fi/BT), including wpa_supplicant/hostapd and RF tuning
Hands‑on experience with embedded Linux platforms (e.g., Qualcomm Snapdragon, NXP i.MX, or similar)
Proficient with embedded toolchains, cross‑compiling, and kernel/u‑boot customization
Comfortable working with hardware prototypes, schematics, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers
Eligibility to work in the U.S.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with custom PCB bring‑up and low‑level hardware debugging
Familiarity with sensor initialization via I2C/SPI and power sequencing
Exposure to antenna tuning or RF compliance testing for wireless modules
Experience with camera tuning (gain, exposure, white balance) or GStreamer pipelines
Proficiency with Yocto or Buildroot for embedded Linux build automation
Experience with JTAG/SWD debuggers, bootloader recovery, or automated hardware tests
Knowledge of edge AI model deployment
Familiarity with USB gadget drivers, PCIe or SDIO peripherals, or low‑level protocol analyzers
Physical and Mental Requirements
Ability to sit and/or stand for periods of time.
Ability to use a keyboard, mouse, and other equipment with or without accommodation(s).
Ability to maintain awareness during business hours.
Ability to lift 15 pounds.
Excellent written and verbal communication and good command of the English language.
Ability to learn and memorize routine tasks.
Reasonable accommodations will be provided to any person with a disability to be able to perform the essential job functions of this position.
Company retains the right to change or assign other duties as required for this position.
