WE´RE HIRING FIRMWARE ENGINEER AT STARTUP POWERED ORTHOTICS

Build firmware for wearable robotics that changes lives.

We are a healthtech startup developing robotic hand orthoses that help people regain function and independence.

We are looking for a Firmware Engineer with a strong background in embedded systems, enjoys a hands-on approach

to development, and is motivated to create meaningful technology in a fast-moving team.

Your Role

We are looking for an innovator to help bring our devices to life. In this role, you will take ownership of embedded

software development for our wearable robotic systems and work closely with a multidisciplinary team to turn

prototypes into robust, user-ready products.

If you enjoy solving real-world engineering challenges, moving quickly, and building meaningful technology in a highly

collaborative startup environment, we would love to hear from you. You will work on everything from low-level device

control to system integration and testing.

Your Responsibilities

• Develop, test, and maintain firmware for embedded systems used in our robotic

hand orthosis

• Implement control logic for motors, sensors, buttons, and communication interfaces

• Debug hardware-software interactions and troubleshoot real-world system behavior

• Support integration of embedded software with electronics, mechanical systems,

and higher-level software

• Optimize firmware for reliability, responsiveness, safety, and power efficiency

• Implement software testing and verification framework for device safety

• Document firmware architecture, interfaces, and development decisions in a clear

and structured way

• Work closely with cross-functional teammates to rapidly test, improve, and refine

product performance

What you bring

• At least a Master’s degree in Electronics, Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering,

Robotics Engineering or Computer Engineering (specialized towards Embedded

Firmware development)
