Pacerobotics

Pace Robotics is a construction robotics startup incubated by SINE IIT-Bombay and backed by Pidilite Ventures, MARL 5G Accelerator and Kochi Holdings. We are making the construction process faster, smarter and efficient through robots that can do advanced construction tasks and digitize execution data in real time. We are currently piloting our first product, a modular robot for plastering, painting and putty of building interiors, at construction sites.

To support our next stage of growth and to take the product from prototype to manufacturing ready design, we are looking for an embedded software engineer who will support the design and implementation of the software for embedded devices and systems end to end from requirements gathering to commercial deployment.

What will you do

• Develop embedded code which enables simultaneous exchange of data between various modules and sensors to facilitate fast/robust decision making for the robot.
• Selection of Communication Protocols, actuation sequencing and deep involvement with embedded software and control strategy.
• Develop and maintain various engineering tools used to debug, analyze, and test embedded products.
• Support the Embedded Systems Lead in working as the common link between the hardware, robot autonomy, and software teams, converting inputs from each team along with overall product/customer needs into electronic circuits, software and hardware.
• Assist in conceptualizing, designing, fabricating, integrating and testing overall embedded architecture, embedded boards, software and circuitry for Pace Robotics’ fleet of AGV based robots.
• Assist in selection and integration of all active, passive components, micro-controller, processor w/peripherals and power components.
• Work on improving the efficiency of the power distribution and consumption.
• Work on designing the wiring scheme of the whole autonomous system.

Qualifications

• Masters or Bachelors (with 2-5 yrs exp) in Electronics & Communication / Electronics & Instrumentation/Electrical & Electronics/Embedded Systems with relevant experience in industrial R&D Projects.

You have the following technical skill sets:

• Expertise with microcontroller/microprocessors (non - Arduino), C programming, digital electronics, different communication protocols such as SPI, I2C, rs232, ethernet, rs485, CAN etc
