About SF MOTORS, INC. (dba SERES) SF Motors is building the next generation of intelligent robotic systems that combine advanced mobility, autonomy, and human-like adaptability. Our mission is to revolutionize how machines move, perceive, and interact in complex environments by integrating control engineering, artificial intelligence, and machine learning at every level of design. Embedded Firmware Engineer Duties and Responsibilities Develop and maintain firmware on STM32 / TI / Renesas MCU platforms Implement and debug low-level drivers (ADC, GPIO, PWM, SPI, I2C, UART, DMA, Timers) Support PCB bring-up, board validation, and hardware debugging Develop and optimize communication stacks (CAN, CANFD, Ethernet, Modbus, etc.) Write clean, maintainable C/C++ for real-time embedded systems Diagnose hardware and firmware integration issues Collaborate closely with hardware and controls engineers Develop internal tools and test scripts (Python preferred) Support firmware release cycles, regression testing, and documentation Contribute to code reviews and design discussions Design and implement firmware architectures that support scalable multi-actuator robotic systems Design command, state, telemetry, and fault-management abstractions for multi-joint robotic systems Define data models and interfaces for joint states, actuator feedback, control parameters, and real-time robot status Collaborate with controls and robotics engineers to translate motion-control requirements into stable firmware and SDK interfaces Support integration of SDK interfaces with higher-level robotics frameworks, simulation environments, and ROS/ROS2 when applicable Design unified motion-control APIs that abstract individual actuator communication and expose intuitive joint-level and whole-robot control interfaces to upper-layer applications Support kinematics-related data exchange and synchronization across distributed nodes Ensure deterministic timing and low-latency communication across robotic joints Participate in system-level debugging across firmware, SDK, and control layers Optimize performance for multi-joint coordination and synchronized actuation Qualifications B.S. or M.S. in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field 1 – 3 years of embedded firmware experience Strong proficiency in C (C++ a plus) Hands-on experience with MCU peripherals and low-level driver development Experience with board bring-up and debugging tools (oscilloscope, logic analyzer, JTAG) Experience with real-time systems Basic understanding of industrial communication protocols Experience developing firmware for robotic systems, motor controllers, or multi-axis motion platforms Understanding of motor control fundamentals (FOC, PID control, current/velocity/position loops) Experience working with CAN-based multi-node robotic architectures Familiarity with ROS / ROS2 or robotics middleware is a plus Experience designing clean, stable SDK APIs for hardware abstraction Familiarity with CI/CD workflows for embedded systems Experience writing Python scripts for automation or testing preferred Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced environment Why Join Us Tackle real-time systems, high-performance control, and multi-sensor fusion Join a high-ownership, fast-paced startup environment Contribute to true 0-to-1 development of next-generation robotics Pay Range: $80,000- $120,000 per year. The actual base salary offered will depend on factors such as the candidate’s experience, skills, qualifications, and job-related considerations. This position may also be eligible for additional compensation and benefits. Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States and verification of employment authorization will be required at the time of hire. SF Motors is an equal opportunity employer committed to a culturally diverse workforce. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, religion, color, age, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability status or protected veteran status.
Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.

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.
