The posting

About Maven

Maven Robotics designs, builds, and deploys intelligent robotics for logistics and manufacturing. Maven is building the first general-purpose robotics system for industrial work. Our mission is to activate autonomous labor at scale and build toward infinitely elastic industrial capacity. We’re a team of engineers, researchers, and operators who have spent our careers working on the hardest problems in AI, robotics, engineering, and autonomous systems. We work at the intersection of advanced research and real-world engineering, turning ideas into prototypes and deployed systems.

At Maven, we build around the realities of industrial work. The robots are designed from first principles for complex physical environments and rigorous commercial standards. They master real tasks that deliver immediate impact, industrial-grade reliability, and intelligence that compounds at scale. We’re growing an ambitious team of people who think in systems, move quickly, and are builders at heart.

About the Role

As an Embedded Software Engineer at Maven Robotics, you will develop the foundational software that keeps our robot hardware alive, building the core systems that provide a platform for robust, safe, and deterministic operation.

What You’ll Do

  • Adapt and integrate a safety certifiable Real Time Operating System (RTOS) and associated drivers for purpose built robotic control hardware
  • Collaborate with hardware engineers to design, develop, and optimize high performance safety-critical systems
  • Develop and adapt device drivers for hardware peripherals (e.g. GPIO, EtherCAT, SPI)
  • Build tools to monitor, verify and optimize real time system performance, ensuring deterministic behavior
  • Contribute to a deterministic and reproducible build and test environment for efficient development
  • Collaborate with functional safety engineers to ensure compliance with relevant safety standards and support audit and traceability requirements
  • Develop robust solutions for over-the-air (OTA) updates, calibration management and software deployment strategies
  • Solve complex, real-world challenges alongside a multi-disciplinary team

What We’re Looking For

  • MS in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
  • Experience with safety-certifiable RTOSes (e.g., PX5, ThreadX, SafeRTOS) and strong knowledge of real-time scheduling and memory management
  • Strong understanding of ARM64 architecture, multicore SoCs, interprocess/intercore communication, and atomic operations
  • Production experience with communication protocols (e.g., Ethernet, EtherCAT, CAN)
  • Proficiency in low-level programming (C, assembly), bootloaders, hardware abstraction layers (HALs), and board support packages (BSPs)
  • Hands-on experience with hardware debugging and development tools, including oscilloscopes, hardware debuggers, high-speed tracing, and software toolchains
  • Familiarity with functional safety (FuSa), MISRA compliance, and related standards
  • Self-driven problem solver with strong prioritization skills and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced startup environment

Nice to Have

  • Knowledge of ARM SIMD/NEON architecture extensions.
  • Proficiency in additional programming languages (e.g. C++, Python, Rust, Golang).
  • Experience with multi-language build systems (e.g. Bazel, Bob).
  • Familiarity with ROS 2 middleware and alternatives (Eg. FastDDS, CycloneDDS, Zenoh).
  • Experience with Docker, and related containerization tools

Equal Opportunity

Maven Robotics is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
