Electrical & Embedded Programming Engineer

About Us

At ESTAT Actuation, we're revolutionizing motion control with our electroadhesive clutches and brakes, enabling lighter, more energy-efficient, and more precise automation and robotics. Our team is driven by bold ideas, customer obsession, and the relentless pursuit of simplicity in engineering.

We're looking for an Electrical & Embedded Programming Engineer who's excited about pushing the boundaries of what's possible in actuation. If you love circuit design, embedded programming, and control systems, and you want to work hands-on with cutting-edge motion tech, this role is for you!What You'll Do

You'll be designing and programming the brains and nervous system of our electroadhesive actuation technology-developing hardware and firmware to drive performance, efficiency, and scalability.

Your mission:

Develop embedded firmware - Write clean, efficient C/C++ code for microcontrollers in high-performance electroadhesive products and accurate testing/QC systems.

Design and optimize circuits - Work on analog and digital circuit design, PCB layout, and component selection for voltage driver, control, and measurement circuits.

Implement real-time control algorithms - Develop and tune control systems that improve response time, precision, and efficiency.

Prototype and test hardware - Build, debug, and iterate on electronic designs, working closely with product and test engineers.

Drive system integration - Ensure our hardware and software work seamlessly together in real-world applications.

Troubleshoot and refine - Analyze performance data, optimize power consumption, and refine control logic to enhance product capabilities. What You Bring

We're looking for a technical problem-solver with hands-on experience in embedded systems and circuit design. Here's what will set you up for success:

• C/C++ expertise - You can write efficient, low-level code for microcontrollers and embedded platforms.

• Circuit design & PCB layout - You understand schematic design, component selection, circuit simulation, and board layout.

• Control systems knowledge - You have experience implementing PID controllers, state machines, and other control algorithms.

• Hands-on debugging skills - You're comfortable with oscilloscopes, bed-of-nails testing, and other diagnostic tools.

• Power electronics & actuation experience (a plus!) - If you've worked with voltage drivers, motor control, or electrostatic devices, even better!

• Collaborative mindset - You can work across disciplines and communicate complex ideas clearly.

• Curiosity & initiative - You love diving deep into technical challenges and finding elegant solutions.Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.

3 Years experience with electromechanical systems, embedded systems, and coding, or a MS or PhD encompassing this experience.
