Job Description:
Job Description Job Description About Us At ESTAT Actuation ,
we’re revolutionizing motion control with our electroadhesive
clutches and brakes, enabling lighter, more energy-efficient, and
more precise automation and robotics. Our team is driven by bold
ideas, customer obsession, and the relentless pursuit of simplicity
in engineering . We’re looking for an Electrical & Embedded
Programming Engineer who’s excited about pushing the boundaries of
what’s possible in actuation. If you love circuit design, embedded
programming, and control systems , and you want to work hands-on
with cutting-edge motion tech, this role is for you! What You’ll Do
You’ll be designing and programming the brains and nervous system
of our electroadhesive actuation technology—developing hardware and
firmware to drive performance, efficiency, and scalability. Your
mission: Develop embedded firmware – Write clean, efficient C/C++
code for microcontrollers in high-performance electroadhesive
products and accurate testing/QC systems. Design and optimize
circuits – Work on analog and digital circuit design , PCB layout,
and component selection for voltage driver, control, and
measurement circuits. Implement real-time control algorithms –
Develop and tune control systems that improve response time,
precision, and efficiency. Prototype and test hardware – Build,
debug, and iterate on electronic designs, working closely with
product and test engineers. Drive system integration – Ensure our
hardware and software work seamlessly together in real-world
applications. Troubleshoot and refine – Analyze performance data,
optimize power consumption, and refine control logic to enhance
product capabilities. What You Bring We’re looking for a technical
problem-solver with hands-on experience in embedded systems and
circuit design. Here’s what will set you up for success: ? C/C++
expertise – You can write efficient, low-level code for
microcontrollers and embedded platforms. ? Circuit design & PCB
layout – You understand schematic design, component selection,
circuit simulation, and board layout. ? Control systems knowledge –
You have experience implementing PID controllers, state machines,
and other control algorithms . ? Hands-on debugging skills – You’re
comfortable with oscilloscopes, bed-of-nails testing, and other
diagnostic tools. ? Power electronics & actuation experience (a
plus!) – If you’ve worked with voltage drivers, motor control, or
electrostatic devices , even better! ? Collaborative mindset – You
can work across disciplines and communicate complex ideas clearly.
? Curiosity & initiative – You love diving deep into technical
challenges and finding elegant solutions. Requirements Bachelor's
degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer
Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field. 3 Years
experience with electromechanical systems, embedded systems, and
coding, or a MS or PhD encompassing this experience. Why Join Us?
At ESTAT, we offer more than just a job—we offer the chance to
engineer the future of motion control in a fast-paced, high-impact
environment. Work on cutting-edge tech – Help shape the future of
lightweight, high-performance actuation. Collaborate with top
engineers – Be part of a team that values innovation and hands-on
problem-solving. See your impact – Your work will directly
contribute to groundbreaking actuator products. Growth
opportunities – As we scale, so will your role and
responsibilities. Competitive salary & benefits – The salary range
for this position is $90k-$110k per year. If you’re excited about
embedded systems, electronics, and controls , we’d love to hear
from you! Powered by JazzHR pTRF4Z4OCa
