About us:
Mobileye is a global leader in Physical AI, developing computer vision, software, and hardware to power autonomous driving solutions and humanoid robots. Our mission is to bring autonomy into the real world by building intelligent technologies that are designed to expand accessibility and enhance everyday life, from advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving to robotics and humanoids.
Built on decades of automotive innovation and industrial-scale AI expertise, Mobileye technologies power more than 230 million vehicles worldwide. With teams around the world, we continue to innovate at the forefront of autonomous systems, advancing the next generation of Physical AI for the real world.
About the team:
At Mentee Robotics, we are redefining humanoid automation with an AI-first approach - combining perception, reasoning, and dexterous manipulation into fully autonomous systems that continuously learn and adapt. We are now expanding with a new robotics Engineering Center in China, working hand-in-hand with our engineering teams in headquarters. Its mission: to rapidly develop our next-generation full-size humanoid and bring it to life - a walking, working platform that becomes the foundation of our next generation of products. This is a small, senior, hands-on team where speed of iteration is the core value. We are looking for two hands-on Embedded Engineers to own everything that runs on the Motor Controller PCB - jointly with our Motion Control Engineer, who designs the control algorithms you will implement. This is close-to-the-metal, critical-path firmware: bare-metal real-time code where a missed deadline is a fallen robot.
Who you are
- A bare-metal firmware engineer who thinks in microseconds and interrupt priorities
- Obsessive about determinism, correctness, and clean fault behavior
- At home on the bench with a logic analyzer and an oscilloscope
Responsibilities
- Design and develop real-time firmware in C for the STM32-class MCU on the Motor Controller PCB - bare metal, no OS
- Implement and optimize the control algorithms defined by the Motion Control Engineer: FOC commutation and current/velocity/position loops, with guaranteed loop timing
- Own calibration routines (encoder offset, current sensing), protections, and fault handling (over-current, over-temperature, encoder loss)
- Implement the EtherCAT/CAN slave stack and the joint-level communication API exposed to the robot's compute platform
- Own bootloader, flashing, and fleet firmware-update flow across all joints
- Work with high-speed peripherals: ADCs, DMA, timers/PWM, interrupts
- Bring up new board revisions with the electrical engineer; debug with logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and HIL setups
- Take full ownership of your code - from bring-up to deployment on the walking robot
Requirements
- B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
- 8+ years of embedded firmware development in bare-metal, hard real-time systems
- Strong proficiency in C and STM32 (or equivalent ARM Cortex-M) programming
- Hands-on experience with motor control firmware (FOC, current/velocity/position loops, encoder interfaces) and/or industrial protocols (EtherCAT, CAN)
- Excellent debugging skills in both code and hardware environments
- Comfortable with schematics, datasheets, and bench instrumentation
Advantages
- Deep EtherCAT knowledge, including slave stack integration and real-time tuning
- Experience with servo drives, drone ESCs, or robot joint controllers
- Exposure to Python for test automation
- Familiarity with MISRA C or structured safety-oriented code practices
- Comfortable communicating technical topics in English with international teams
