Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated, experienced engineer to join our FAE team supporting the rapidly growing robotics market — Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), drones, and humanoid platforms. You will help our customers deploy industry-leading networking and high-speed communication technologies — Ethernet, SerDes, TSN, EtherCAT, and Power-over-Dataline/Ethernet — into next-generation robotic systems where deterministic, low-latency communication is critical for perception, motion, and motor control. You will join a collaborative, passionate team that values creativity, open communication, and having fun while solving tough problems together developing leading-edge hardware & software solutions.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances.

Strong working knowledge of Ethernet controllers and switches — MAC, PHY, DMA, filters/queues, MDIO, switch configuration, and frame forwarding.

Hands-on understanding of Single-Pair Ethernet PHY technologies (100/1000/2.5G BASE-T1, 10BASE-T1S) and the associated PMA/PMD layers.

Experience with low-latency, deterministic real-time Ethernet — TSN (time synchronization, traffic shaping, frame replication) and EtherCAT (distributed clocks, master / sub-device topologies).

Nice to Have Skills & Experience

Proficient in C/C++ firmware development and debugging with ARM microcontrollers

Familiarity with SerDes interfaces, PCIe Gen3/Gen4, and high-speed signal integrity considerations.

Benefit packages for this role will start on the 1st day of employment and include medical, dental, and vision insurance, as well as HSA, FSA, and DCFSA account options, and 401k retirement account access with employer matching.
