Asylon is seeking an Embedded Software Engineer to join its robotics-focused engineering team in Norristown, onsite. This role centers on sustaining and advancing embedded software across quadrotor platforms, a robotic battery swap station, and a robotic dog system, with an emphasis on mechatronics, Linux-based development, and integration with higher-level control systems. The position calls for close collaboration with engineering and operations to turn field requirements into reliable software and hardware interfaces, prioritizing robustness and uptime in real-world deployments.

Responsibilities

Maintain and improve the embedded software and infrastructure for quadrotor, robotic battery swap station, and robotic dog systems, focusing on mechatronics, the operating system, microcontrollers, and other low-level code.
Configure and integrate hardware peripherals such as cellular modems, CAN bus, serial interfaces, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet.
Troubleshoot, diagnose, and resolve hardware-induced issues to maximize uptime and reliability.
Coordinate, develop, and test system updates, including Software in the Loop (SIL) and Hardware in the Loop (HIL) testing.
Enhance the robustness and stability of deployed robotics infrastructure.
Work closely with engineering and operations teams to understand field requirements and implement improvements to existing systems.

Requirements

3+ years of professional experience in software development on robotic or electro-mechanical systems, including shipping code to production hardware.
Proficiency with Python and Bash for application development, scripting, and test automation.
Strong C/C++ skills, particularly with microcontrollers or device drivers.
