The team consists of about 10 people, from edge side engineers including embedded engineers, to front-end/back-end engineers for servers/applications. In the requirement definition stage, you will consider the user experience, taking into account physical interfaces such as sensors/motors and integration with servers/applications, as well as technical verification through prototypes, selection of development environment and OS, etc., and outline design of the software using UML. In the implementation phase, we will incorporate test-driven development in some cases, while controlling the quality through version management using Git and code reviews by team members. You will work in cooperation with mechanical/electrical engineers and application/server engineers on this design/development. The development style is close to spiral development, and prototypes are iterated several times to brush up on them. [Immediate projects] In the near future, you will be working on projects using: - OS: FreeRTOS, Zephyr, None (bare metal) - Microcontrollers: STM32, nRF52, NXP i.MX RT series - Examples of technologies handled: Bluetooth/WiFi control, protocols such as MQTT, audio signal processing, inter-core collaboration between Cortex-M and Cortex-A, motor control, power control [Attraction of this job] - You can gain experience in core functions of consumer products and gain development experience that broadens your horizons, such as being able to carry out everything from design to development/evaluation - You can tackle various social issues through robotics - Because it is a small team, each individual has a lot of discretion and can take on challenges

[Required skills and experience] - Work experience as an embedded engineer - Experience using C/C++ language at work [Preferred skills and experience] You will be primarily responsible for firmware for Arm Cortex-M microcontrollers, but we often use the Linux OS to connect to microcontrollers, so we welcome people with development experience in embedded Linux, such as applications that run on Linux, device drivers, or device trees. [We welcome those who] - Want to contribute to market creation in a growing market - Want to develop products in a small, elite team - Want to try platform development - Want to gain a business perspective - Like robots Not required
