Job Title: Senior Embedded Engineer (Robotics / AMR)

Location: Hong Kong (Base) 

Job Type: Full-time

About the Opportunity

Our client is a fast-growing, innovative leader in Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) and robotic systems. They are seeking a hands-on Senior Embedded Engineer with a strong background in robotics to join their dynamic team, based in Hong Kong.

This is a highly cross-functional, critical role. You will be the primary technical bridge between the company's internal R&D team and their key hardware manufacturing partner in Shenzhen. The ideal candidate possesses deep expertise in both hardware and software, strong communication skills in Mandarin, and a passion for hands-on problem-solving in a fast-paced "startup-like" environment.

Key Responsibilities

This role is a blend of on-site integration/testing at the factory and core embedded development.

1. On-Site Factory Integration & Testing (Shenzhen)

• Travel frequently (up to 60% of your time) to the manufacturing partner's factory in Shenzhen.
• Lead the installation of the proprietary autonomy software stack on newly assembled AMRs.
• Manage the integration of key sensors and components, including LiDAR, safety PLCs, motor drivers, and other critical hardware.
• Perform network and communication setup (ROS-based or similar) for all units.
• Conduct comprehensive Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) to validate all hardware and software functionality and performance before shipment.

2. Engineering Liaison & Quality Control

• Act as the main engineering liaison between the internal R&D team and the factory partner, ensuring clear technical alignment and quality standards.
• Identify, debug, and lead the resolution of any hardware or software issues discovered during assembly or FAT, working directly with local factory engineers.
• Continuously improve QC processes by developing new frameworks, implementing automated testing practices, and enhancing test strategies.
• Maintain meticulous documentation for all build, installation, and test reports.

3. Embedded Systems Development & Debugging

• Develop, debug, and test embedded software (firmware) for various robotic devices and in-house PCBs.
• Implement and debug Linux drivers for industrial communication protocols (e.g., CANBus, ModbusTCP).
• Read and analyze PCB schematics and hardware designs to implement appropriate firmware logic and conduct deep, component-level troubleshooting.
• Design and implement test tools and strategies for various hardware modules to support efficient manufacturing and quality control.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Electrical/Electronics, or Computer Engineering.
• Experience: 2-5 years of hands-on experience in AMR, mobile robotics, or industrial automation.
• Mandatory Language: Proficiency in Mandarin (both spoken and written) is essential for effective communication with the factory team.
• Travel: Must have the willingness and ability to travel frequently to Shenzhen (up to 60% of the time).
• Technical Stack:
  • Strong, hands-on understanding of robot hardware (motor controllers, encoders, sensors, PLCs).
  • Strong software skills in Linux, C++/Python, and ROS (Robot Operating System).
• Hardware Debugging:
  • Proven experience in robot system integration and hands-on debugging.
  • High proficiency in reading and analyzing circuit schematics and electrical line diagrams.
  • Expert hardware troubleshooting skills at both the system level and PCB level.
• Tools: Familiarity with common test and diagnostic equipment (e.g., multimeter, oscilloscope, power supply, clamp meters).
• Protocols: Knowledge of networking protocols and industrial standards (e.g., CAN, Modbus) is a major plus.
• Soft Skills: Self-motivated, highly detail-oriented, adaptable, and a strong problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced environment.

How to Apply

Interested candidates are invited to submit their resume, detailing their experience in robotics, hardware debugging, and their proficiency in Mandarin.
