About the Role We are looking for an experienced Embedded Systems / Firmware Engineer to join our Humanoid Robotics R&D; team. The candidate will be responsible for designing, developing, integrating, and optimizing embedded firmware and low-level software for advanced robotic systems. The role involves close collaboration with Electronics, Robotics, Controls, Mechanical, AI/ML, and Software teams to develop reliable and high-performance embedded systems for humanoid robots. Key Responsibilities Design, develop, test, debug, and maintain embedded firmware for humanoid robotic systems. Develop robust and effective firmware using Embedded C/C++. Work with microcontrollers, processors, sensors, actuators, motor controllers, and embedded peripherals. Develop firmware for robot joints, actuators, motor control systems, sensor interfaces, and robotic subsystems. Implement real-time embedded applications using RTOS. Develop and integrate communication interfaces such as CAN/CAN-FD, UART, SPI, I2C, RS485, Ethernet, and EtherCAT. Interface and communicate with BLDC/servo motors, encoders, IMUs, force/torque sensors, current sensors, position sensors, and other robotic sensors. Develop and integrate motor control and actuator control firmware. Perform hardware bring-up, board-level debugging, and firmware validation. Analyze and resolve hardware-software integration issues. Optimize firmware for real-time performance, memory utilization, CPU usage, power consumption, and system reliability. Develop device drivers, peripheral interfaces, communication stacks, and low-level firmware modules. Work on interrupts, timers, DMA, ADC, PWM, GPIO, watchdogs, and other MCU peripherals. Implement error handling, diagnostics, fault detection, and safety mechanisms. Perform firmware testing, unit testing, integration testing, and system-level validation. Use debugging tools such as JTAG/SWD, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, and debuggers. Collaborate with electronics engineers .
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.
