Embedded Systems Engineer, Autonomy

RAD Propulsion is transforming marine mobility with cutting-edge electric propulsion systems for boats. Our technology combines high-performance hardware with intelligent software, delivering clean, efficient and connected experiences on the water. We're looking for an Embedded Software Engineer to join our growing team and work on the firmware that controls our autonomy system. 

About the Role 

You’ll work directly on our embedded software stack, which runs on STM32-based hardware. Your focus will be on implementing new features, refining existing functionality, and fixing bugs across our firmware. This is a hands-on role with plenty of variety, touching everything from motor control to communications, diagnostics, and over-the-air updates. 

You’ll collaborate closely with hardware engineers, app developers, and product designers to ensure seamless integration between embedded systems and the broader RAD ecosystem. 

What You’ll Do 

• Develop, test, and maintain embedded software for STM32 microcontrollers 
• Implement new features and improve system performance 
• Investigate, debug, and resolve firmware issues 
• Work on low-level communications protocols (UART, CAN, I2C, SPI) 
• Collaborate on board bring-up and system-level testing 
• Contribute to continuous improvements in code quality, documentation, and development practices 

What We're Looking For 

• 2+ years of experience in embedded systems development 
• Proficiency in C and familiarity with STM32 or similar ARM Cortex-M platforms 
• Experience with hardware interfaces and low-level drivers (CAN, UART, I2C, etc.) 
• Strong debugging skills using tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers and debuggers 
• Familiarity with version control (e.g. Git) and basic CI workflows 
• Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced, collaborative environment 
• Knowledge of motor control or power electronics 
• Familiarity with bootloaders and firmware update strategies 
• Exposure to Python or scripting for testing
