About the role
PIPEIN builds and operates robots that inspect the infrastructure everyone depends on but no one sees: hydroelectric penstocks, water mains and sewer networks. Our fleet is already in service with leading operators, and it is growing fast.
As Embedded Robotics Software Engineer, you will own the software that keeps this fleet running in the field. You will take what our R&D; team develops and make it work on our robots fleet.
You will be responsible for:
- The onboard systems of every robot: computers, firmware, networks and secure remote access.
- Bringing new sensors and R&D; modules onto operational robots, and validating them before they reach the field.
- Rolling out software across the fleet in a controlled way and troubleshoot.
You will work side by side with R&D;, hardware engineers and our field team, with ownership from day one.
Key responsibilities
You will be accountable for the software running on the PIPEIN fleet, from the moment a new feature leaves R&D; to the moment it performs reliably in the field. The role covers four areas.
Onboard systems
Keep the computing, firmware and communication stack of every robot healthy, secure and consistent.
- Administer the Linux single-board computers and embedded controllers on board: operating systems, drivers, services, packages and device configurations.
- Maintain and debug microcontroller firmware for sensor and actuator nodes (GPIO, I2C, SPI, UART, CAN), and strengthen watchdogs, fault handling and fail-safe behavior.
- Configure robot networks and links for commands, telemetry, video and inspection data; diagnose latency, bandwidth and packet-loss issues and make recovery robust.
- Enforce secure remote access across the fleet: SSH keys, credentials, permissions and system hardening.
Integration and validation
Bring new capabilities from R&D; onto operational robots, and prove they work before they reach a client site.
- Integrate cameras and sensors through drivers, SDKs and communication inte
