Perceptyne Robots – Firmware Engineer-L2, L3

About Perceptyne:

While robotic automation has come a long way from the time everything was manual, even today, robots struggle when it comes to automating tasks that need dexterity: like product assembly, packing and kitchen preparations.

Founded by IIT & BITS alumni, Perceptyne is a deep-tech robotics company building highly dexterous robots that can automate these tasks in a scalable manner. At Perceptyne, we are building disruptive technology that will push the boundary of robotics as we know it today! (www.perceptyne.com)

How is it like to work at Perceptyne?

At our core, we like to build things, we evangelize great ideas, and we are grounded in reality.

At Perceptyne, we greatly value these dichotomies:

• Having experience while not losing a first principles approach.
• Having a large vision while not losing attention to detail
• Working on disruptive tech while hitting the market ASAP

Work Description:

As a Firmware Engineer, you are expected to execute all aspects of electronics development on our robot.

Your everyday activities would include: system/sub-system architecture level decisions, control algorithm development, inter-module communication architecture design & development, overall firmware programming, deployment on hardware & testing and production scale-up.

Skills / Requirements:

-Experience Requirements:

• Bachelors / Masters in Electronics Engineering or equivalent (ECE / EEE / EIE / Mechatronics)
• >2 years of relevant work experience
