• Debug hardware/software issues using tools such as JTAG, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers. 
• Implement and optimize low-level drivers for communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, etc.). 
• Collaborate with hardware engineers to bring up new hardware boards. 
• Develop and maintain real-time embedded applications using RTOS or bare-metal programming. 
• Document design specifications, code, and test procedures. 
• Participate in code reviews and continuous improvement of development practices. 

• Develop and integrate gimbal control systems for UAVs, including stabilization algorithms, IMU/encoder integration, and closed-loop motor control.

   

• Work on real-time video stabilization, payload control interfaces, and communication between UAV flight controller and gimbal systems.

   

• Optimize system performance for weight, power, and latency constraints specific to UAV applications.

   

Required Skills and Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field. 
• 2+ years of experience in embedded systems development. 
• Strong programming skills in C/C++. 
• Experience with at least one RTOS (e.g., FreeRTOS, ThreadX, Zephyr).
