Embedded Software Engineer

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.
