Job Description

At Dexory, we are transforming the warehousing and logistics industry through data intelligence. As an Embedded Firmware Engineer, you will be a key driver in delivering complex and reliable embedded solutions on our cutting-edge robot platforms. By collaborating across hardware, software, and electronics teams, you will help shape and deploy firmware that meets the high performance, reliability, and safety needs of our technology--while also ensuring we deliver incremental value swiftly.



This will involve a minimum of 4 days per week onsite with us at Verda Park, Wallingford. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide sponsorship at this time as well as relocation assistance.

Responsibilities

Firmware Development & Delivery

Design, implement, and optimize firmware (ideally within a RTOS) for STM32 (or similar 32-bit ARM) microcontrollers within an autonomous robot environment. Rapidly prototype and iterate to ensure quick value delivery, balancing quality with speed and testing times.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (hardware, software, electronics) to define and refine requirements and interfaces.

Fast Iteration & Testing

Develop and maintain automated testing frameworks that enable fast and reliable firmware validation.
Work with a nimble mindset: quickly evaluate changes, gather data and feedback, iterate to ensure continuous improvement and immediate impact.

System & Safety Considerations

Implement robust error handling, fail-safe mechanisms, and performance monitoring within bare-metal and RTOS architectures.
Design secure and reliable over-the-air (OTA) update processes, supporting incremental improvements without compromising stability.

Product Integration, Cross Functional Collaboration & Continuous Improvements

Collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams to integrate firmware features into the broader Dexory's ecosystem, ensuring seamless communication and data capture. Contribute to system-level design and roadmapping, always considering ways to deliver immediate, incremental value to users.
Identify bottlenecks and propose optimizations as well as speed up processes -- both in code and workflow -- that drive faster deployment cycles.

Ownership & Agility

Take end-to-end ownership of projects, from initial specification to production release and maintenance. Embrace an agile mindset to plan, estimate, and execute tasks, balancing speed, iteration, and quality. Engage proactively in code reviews, design discussions, and team problem-solving.

Requirements

Technical Expertise

+ 3+ years of experience delivering embedded software to production environments. + Proficient in C/C++ with modern best practices and familiarity with STM32 or similar 32-bit ARM MCUs.
+ Experience with both bare-metal and RTOS-based firmware designs.

Strong knowledge of Linux-based build systems, debugging tools, and development workflows.
+

Fast Iteration & Testing Mindset

+ Demonstrated success in rapid prototyping, testing, and deployment cycles. Delivery to tight deadlines is a must. + Experience building and maintaining automated test setups for embedded systems (hardware/software integration tests).

Testing on real
+

Collaboration & Communication

+ Excellent communication skills--adept at working closely within a collaborative, very fast paced, engineering environment.
Ability to coordinate across multidisciplinary teams (hardware, software, electronics) and quickly adapt to evolving requirements.
+

Preferred Skills

+ Industrial, production-focused firmware development experience. + Expertise with communication buses and protocols (CAN, I2C, Ethernet, etc.).
+ Exposure to electronics design and hardware/software co-design principles.
+ Experience building OTA update systems for embedded devices.
