Company Overview At Skild AI, we are building the world's first general purpose robotic intelligence that is robust and adapts to unseen scenarios without failing. We believe massive scale through data-driven machine learning is the key to unlocking these capabilities for the widespread deployment of robots within society. Our team consists of individuals with varying levels of experience and backgrounds, from new graduates to domain experts. Relevant industry experience is important, but ultimately less so than your demonstrated abilities and attitude. We are looking for passionate individuals who are eager to explore uncharted waters and contribute to our innovative projects. Position Overview We are seeking a proficient Firmware Engineer that will develop and optimize firmware for BLDC motor control and real-time embedded systems. Key responsibilities include implementing control algorithms, debugging communication protocols, and integrating firmware with frameworks like ROS, while collaborating with hardware teams to ensure system performance. Responsibilities Develop and optimize firmware for BLDC motor control, including advanced control algorithms and system identification. Design, debug, and integrate low-level communication protocols such as RS-485, CAN, UART, and SPI. Implement and maintain real-time systems using RTOS (e.g., FreeRTOS, RT Linux, VxWorks). Collaborate with hardware engineers to design and validate motor driver circuits and power electronics systems. Integrate firmware into higher-level communication frameworks, such as DDS (Distributed Data Service), e.g., ROS. Test, validate, and debug firmware systems in the lab. Document firmware design processes and contribute to best practices. Preferred Qualifications Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or Mechatronics. Hands-on experience in firmware development for robotics, motor control, or embedded systems. Expertise in BLDC motor control, including FOC (Field-Oriented Control), PWM, and current/position control techniques. Proficiency in low-level communication protocols such as RS-485, CAN, and SPI. Experience with real-time embedded systems (e.g., FreeRTOS, RT Linux). Familiarity with DDS frameworks (e.g., ROS). Proficient in C/C++ for embedded systems and adept with debugging tools. Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to handle complex system integration challenges. Base Salary Range $100,000 — $300,000 USD
Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.
144.883Jobs

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
