At SWARM Biotactics, we’re creating biorobots — living, intelligent systems based on insects. Each insect carries a custom-designed backpack that enables wireless control, sensing, and secure communication.
Biorobot swarms combine the agility of biology with AI, sensors, and swarm coordination — unlocking capabilities where conventional machines fail.
We are the only company in the world doing this — and we’re pushing the edge of what’s possible in every domain: from biology to embedded hardware to swarm intelligence.
In this role, you will develop embedded software for microcontroller-based systems, help shape core platform capabilities, and work closely with teams across embedded, electronics, AI, and autonomy.
Join us at the frontier — and build the core embedded platforms for the first generation of living machines.
What you’ll do
* Design, implement, and maintain embedded software for microcontroller-based systems
* Write clean, efficient, and reliable embedded code for hardware-near applications
* Develop and improve firmware for ARM Cortex-M based systems
* Work on board bring-up, driver development, debugging, and system integration
* Collaborate closely with adjacent teams in embedded systems, electronics, AI, and swarm autonomy
* Take ownership of technical topics and drive solutions independently
What we’re looking for
* Excellent degree in Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
* Minimum experience for the junior role : Bachelor's degree & 3+ years of relevant industrial experience
* Minimum experience for the senior role : Master's degree & 5+ years of relevant industrial experience
* Experience writing clean and efficient embedded code for microcontrollers
* Strong proficiency in the Embedded C/C++ programming language
* Proficient handling of software management tools such as Git
* Proficient knowledge of common communication interfaces such as UART, I2C, SPI
* Strong understanding of embedded software for microcontrollers, especially ARM Cortex - M
* Familiarity with communication engineering concepts and Industrial IoT applications is a strong plus
* Excellent diagnostic and debugging skills
* Proficient ability to read and understand electronic schematics
* Good understanding of real-time operating systems
* High level of self-motivation and ability to independently drive your area of responsibility
* Open, communicative, friendly, and competent attitude, with the ability to become a trusted internal expert
➕ Nice to have
* Experience with Embedded C/C++ in production systems
* Exposure to Rust in embedded systems, or interest in learning it
* Familiarity with robotics, system integration, or hardware-near product development
* Strong curiosity and willingness to explore beyond standard approaches
Why SWARM Biotactics
* We’re well-funded and expanding fast in a space no one else is in .
* You’ll join a world-class team working on the frontier of science and engineering .
* Your work will directly shape the foundation of biorobotic systems that redefine the interface between life and technology.
* This is a chance to work on hard problems, move quickly, and build something genuinely new .
