Job DescriptionJob Description 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.
