Job Description
Robotics Hardware Integration Engineer at Slip Robotics integrating software and hardware for efficient robotic systems. Focus on real-time performance and collaboration across engineering disciplines.
Responsibilities:
- Develop and maintain drivers for sensors (LiDAR, cameras, IMUs, encoders) and actuators (motor controllers, hydraulics, pneumatics) on Linux-based robot platforms
- Own the communication layer between onboard compute and hardware subsystems (CAN bus, EtherCAT, serial, I2C/SPI)
- Design and implement hardware abstraction layers that give upstream software teams clean, reliable interfaces
- Integrate new sensors and hardware components as the robot platform evolves, including requirements definition, component selection, bring-up, calibration, and validation
- Monitor and manage robot system health: power, thermals, hardware diagnostics, and fault handling
- Build and maintain AWS IoT Greengrass components for fleet-level device management, OTA updates, and cloud telemetry
- Collaborate with mechanical and electrical engineers on hardware design reviews to ensure manufacturability and software compatibility
- Manage Linux configurations and setup for robotics software host machines
- Develop and maintain CI/CD processes for hardware-interfacing software, including hardware-in-the-loop testing where appropriate
- Support field-deployed robots by diagnosing and resolving hardware-software integration issues
Requirements:
- 5+ years of professional experience in hardware-software integration for robotic systems at a robotics, autonomous vehicle, or industrial automation company
- Strong proficiency in C++ and Python on Linux platforms
- Hands-on experience writing and maintaining device drivers and sensor interfaces for real robot hardware
- Working knowledge of communication protocols: CAN, EtherCAT, serial (RS-232/485), I2C, SPI
- Experience with ROS or ROS 2 for hardware interface nodes and system integration
- Familiarity with AWS IoT Core, Greengrass, or similar edge-cloud platforms for fleet device management
- Ability to read schematics and datasheets and collaborate effectively with electrical engineers
- Experience debugging hardware issues using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers
- Strong communication skills and ability to work across software, electrical, and mechanical teams
Benefits:
- Competitive salary and equity in an early-stage robotics company
- Comprehensive benefits including health, dental, and vision
- Permissive time off policy
- A small team where your work has direct, visible impact on shipped products
- The chance to work on robots that are operating in production today—not a research project
