Embedded Software Engineer
Planar Motor
Date: 1 day ago
City: Richmond, BC
Contract type: Full time
Who We Are
Planar Motor is redefining motion through precision planar magnetic levitation. Our cutting-edge, industry-leading systems enable ultra-smooth, multi-degree-of-freedom movement for industries ranging from advanced manufacturing to biomedical automation. We are a team of forward thinkers, engineers, and innovators working at the frontier of control and motion systems.
What Will You Do?
As an Embedded Software Engineer at Planar Motor, you will be responsible for designing and developing the software systems that serve as the “brains” of our cutting-edge maglev robotic platforms. Your work will directly influence how our robots think, move, and interact, from intelligent navigation and obstacle avoidance to multi-robot coordination.
You'll work closely with our hardware and mechatronics teams to create embedded solutions that are both robust and efficient, all while operating within the constraints of real-time systems and limited hardware resources.
Typical Responsibilities Include
At PMI, we thrive on solving novel and complex technological problems that don't have off-the-shelf solutions. Our work requires creativity, persistence, and a deep understanding of fundamental engineering principles. We value individuals who have a strong problem-solving mindset and who are genuinely passionate about tackling tough technical challenges.
If you are someone who enjoys working through complex problems, embraces uncertainty, and finds satisfaction in developing clear solutions to difficult engineering puzzles, this role will be a great fit for you.
Qualifications
Come join the team working on the bleeding edge of motion technology, we provide:
The hiring range for this role is $60K - $200K annually. Our ranges are based on market data, and offered salaries will be based on a combination of factors including, but not limited to, the successful candidate's job-related knowledge, skills, education, and experience.
