Embedded Software Engineer II at FORT Robotics. . Location: Philadelphia, PA. . . In today's dynamic worksites, seamless collaboration between people and machines is essential. FORT's platform ensures safe, secure, and dynamic control that surpasses legacy systems and next-generation AI capabilities.. . While autonomous machines offer significant advantages, they also introduce new safety challenges. FORT addresses these concerns by providing solutions such as the Wireless E-Stop, which allows operators to instantly stop any machine from a safe distance, enhancing safety during emergencies.. . Additionally, FORT's Safe Remote Control enables operators to manage heavy machinery remotely, reducing the risk of accidents and improving visibility.. . By ensuring communications integrity across any network, FORT empowers customers to protect their most valuable assets—people, data, and machines—ensuring they remain safe and secure.. . . As an Embedded Software Engineer II, you will own specific components of our embedded stack, working close to the hardware on the real-time firmware that our safety devices depend on. Most of your time will be spent in RTOS environments (Zephyr and FreeRTOS) and on bare-metal targets, architecting safety-critical systems where reliability is a hard requirement. You will also work with our Embedded Linux platforms where the two worlds meet, so you will be comfortable moving between constrained real-time targets and richer application environments.. . What You'll Do. . . Build the Core:. Design and implement robust C/C++ firmware for safety-critical embedded devices.. . Real-Time Architecture:. Architect and implement RTOS-based firmware on Zephyr and FreeRTOS, including task and scheduling design, ISR handling, inter-task communication, memory and stack budgeting, and deterministic timing analysis.. . Bare-Metal and Drivers:. Write low-level peripheral drivers and board support code, and bring up new silicon from reset vector through to a running application.. . Platform Integration:. Interface RTOS devices with our Embedded Linux user-space applications, ensuring reliable communication and consistent behavior across the product.. . Pipeline & Quality:. Maintain and improve CI/CD pipelines (GitLab) to automate testing, including on-target and hardware-in-the-loop test execution.. . Hardware Integration:. Bring up new hardware, debug complex issues using JTAG/GDB, and optimize for latency, power, and memory footprint.. . Safety Compliance:. Collaborate with the safety team to ensure code adheres to rigorous standards (IEC 61508) while maintaining development velocity.. . . What You Bring. . . Experience:. 3-5 years of hands-on embedded software development, with a substantial portion on RTOS or bare-metal targets.. . Core Languages:. Strong proficiency in C, along with working proficiency in C++.. . RTOS Knowledge:. Solid production experience with an RTOS such as Zephyr, FreeRTOS, ThreadX, or similar, including scheduling, synchronization primitives, and interrupt-driven design.. . Microcontroller Fluency:. Comfort working directly with MCU peripherals, datasheets, reference manuals, linker scripts, and startup code.. . Linux Exposure:. Familiarity with Embedded Linux user-space development, sufficient to integrate and debug across the RTOS and Linux boundary.. . Connectivity:. Familiarity with IP networking protocols and standard interfaces (UART, SPI, I2C, USB, CAN).. . Tooling:. Experience with Python for scripting/automation and familiarity with CI/CD workflows.. . Debugging:. Comfort using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG, and GDB to troubleshoot hard-to-find bugs.. . Education:. B.S. in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.. . . Bonus Points. . . Experience with Zephyr specifically, including devicetree, Kconfig, and west-based workflows.. . Experience with wireless stacks (BLE, ISM, Wi-Fi) on constrained devices.. . Background in Functional Safety (FuSa) or working in regulated industries (Medical, Automotive, Aerospace).. . Low-level Linux knowledge of Board Support Packages (BSP) and device drivers.. . Familiarity with static analysis, MISRA C, or other coding standards used in safety-critical development.. . .  . . Base Compensation can range from $125,000 to $150,000 based on experience & location.
