Embedded Systems Lead

Pace Robotics is a construction robotics startup incubated by SINE IIT-Bombay and backed by Pidilite Ventures and IIMA Ventures. We are making the construction process faster, smarter and efficient through robots that can do advanced construction tasks and digitize execution data in real time. Our first product is a modular wall finishing robot for plastering, putty and painting of building interiors. Our customers include some of the biggest names in Indian real estate and construction.

To support our next stage of growth and to take the product from prototype to manufacturing ready design, we are looking for an embedded systems lead who will lead design and implementation of the software for embedded devices and systems end to end from requirements gathering to commercial deployment.

What you will do:

● Conceptualize, design, fabricate, integrate and test overall embedded architecture, embedded boards, software and circuitry for Pace Robotics’ fleet of AMRs.

● Develop embedded code which enables simultaneous exchange of data between various modules and sensors to facilitate fast/robust decision making for the robot and real time controls.

● Selection of Communication Protocols, actuation sequencing and deep involvement with embedded software and control strategy.

● Develop and maintain various engineering tools used to debug, analyze, and test embedded products.

● Work as the common link between the hardware, robot autonomy, and software teams, converting inputs from each team along with overall product/customer needs into electronic circuits, software and hardware.

● Selection and integration of all active, passive components, micro-controller, processor w/peripherals and power components.

● Work on improving the efficiency of the power distribution and consumption.

● Work on designing the wiring scheme of the whole autonomous system.

Who you are:

● Masters or Bachelors (with 8-12 yrs exp) in Electronics & Communication / Electronics & Instrumentation/Electrical & Electronics/Embedded Systems with relevant experience in industrial R&D Projects.

● You have the following technical skill sets:
