Electrical & Embedded Programming Engineer
Estat Actuation, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, us, 15289
About Us
At
ESTAT Actuation , we're revolutionizing motion control with our electroadhesive clutches and brakes, enabling
lighter, more energy-efficient, and more precise
automation and robotics. Our team is driven by
bold ideas, customer obsession, and the relentless pursuit of simplicity in engineering .
We're looking for an
Electrical & Embedded Programming Engineer
who's excited about pushing the boundaries of what's possible in actuation. If you love
circuit design, embedded programming, and control systems , and you want to work hands-on with cutting-edge motion tech, this role is for you!What You'll Do
You'll be designing and programming the
brains and nervous system
of our electroadhesive actuation technology-developing hardware and firmware to drive performance, efficiency, and scalability.
Your mission: Develop embedded firmware
- Write clean, efficient
C/C++
code for microcontrollers in high-performance electroadhesive products and accurate testing/QC systems. Design and optimize circuits
- Work on
analog and digital circuit design , PCB layout, and component selection for voltage driver, control, and measurement circuits. Implement real-time control algorithms
- Develop and tune control systems that improve response time, precision, and efficiency. Prototype and test hardware
- Build, debug, and iterate on electronic designs, working closely with product and test engineers. Drive system integration
- Ensure our hardware and software work seamlessly together in real-world applications. Troubleshoot and refine
- Analyze performance data, optimize power consumption, and refine control logic to enhance product capabilities. What You Bring
We're looking for a
technical problem-solver
with hands-on experience in embedded systems and circuit design. Here's what will set you up for success:
•
C/C++ expertise
- You can write efficient, low-level code for microcontrollers and embedded platforms. •
Circuit design & PCB layout
- You understand
schematic design, component selection, circuit simulation, and board layout. •
Control systems knowledge
- You have experience implementing
PID controllers, state machines, and other control algorithms . •
Hands-on debugging skills
- You're comfortable with oscilloscopes, bed-of-nails testing, and other diagnostic tools. •
Power electronics & actuation experience
(a plus!) - If you've worked with
voltage drivers,
motor control, or electrostatic devices , even better! •
Collaborative mindset
- You can work across disciplines and communicate complex ideas clearly. •
Curiosity & initiative
- You love diving deep into technical challenges and finding elegant solutions.Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
3 Years experience with electromechanical systems, embedded systems, and coding, or a MS or PhD encompassing this experience.
Why Join Us?
At ESTAT, we offer more than just a job-we offer the chance to
engineer the future of motion control
in a
fast-paced, high-impact
environment.
Work on cutting-edge tech
- Help shape the future of lightweight, high-performance actuation. Collaborate with top engineers
- Be part of a team that values innovation and hands-on problem-solving. See your impact
- Your work will directly contribute to groundbreaking actuator products. Growth opportunities
- As we scale, so will your role and responsibilities. Competitive salary & benefits
- The salary range for this position is $90k-$110k per year.
If you're excited about
embedded systems, electronics, and controls , we'd love to hear from you!
