RISE™Robotics

Full-stack Engineer

• Own the embedded software architecture, roadmap, and technical strategy for the RISE Beltdraulic platform, from firmware and real-time control through diagnostics, telemetry, and tooling.
• Recommend build vs. build decisions, and when to use open vs. closed-source software in our products.
• Hire, grow, and retain a high-performing team of embedded software engineers. Set clear expectations, run performance and career development, and build a culture of ownership, craft, and safety.
• Translate product and program commitments into embedded software plans. Drive high-quality delivery across multiple concurrent programs with Tier 1 suppliers, OEMs, and US DoD / DoW partners and recommend trade-offs when over constrained.
• Stay technically close to the work. Review designs and code, unblock hard problems, and contribute directly to critical embedded software components for robotic lift systems when needed.
• Partner with hardware, electrical, and mechanical engineering to integrate embedded software with the RISE platform’s electromechanical components and ensure end-to-end system performance.
• Guide the development and optimization of control algorithms, real-time control loops, feedback systems, and sensor integration for precise and efficient robotic lifting operations.
• Define and enforce standards for testing, debugging, code review, release management, and functional safety so that our systems are reliable and robust in the field.
• Establish and evolve the software development lifecycle—version control, CI, HIL/SIL testing, documentation, and incident response—appropriate for a growing electromechanical product company.
• Work closely with product, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, application specialists, and commercial teams to align priorities and achieve program goals.
• Serve as the embedded software point of contact for customers and partners, including Tier 1 suppliers, OEMs, and the US DoW / DoD, during technical reviews, integrations, and field support.
• Partner with engineering leadership on org design, headcount planning, budget, vendor and tooling selection, and long-range platform bets.
