Staff Embedded Engineer

Expand human ambition in the physical world.

Critical infrastructure is constrained by labor shortages, hazardous working conditions, and operational complexity. Watney builds and deploys autonomous robotic systems that increase the speed and capacity of buildout, starting with data centers.

At Watney, Embedded Engineers drive the fundamental capabilities of our robot systems. Working with our mechanical, electrical, and ML teams across new sensor modalities and embodiments, you’ll help set a new high watermark for system reliability and safety.

We’re looking for someone irrationally enthusiastic about embedded software development. You should be equally comfortable making long term architectural bets, designing dependable systems, and iterating quickly across a large software surface.

Execute Board Bringup: Lead initial board bring-up, construct reliable Hardware Abstraction Layers (HAL), and write drivers directly touching our raw microcontrollers and actuators.

Drive HIL Testing & Validation: Architect, set up, and automate robust hardware-in-the-loop testing rigs to ensure exceptional electromechanical reliability and safety.
