About Chemify Chemify is revolutionising chemistry. We are creating a future where the synthesis of previously unimaginable molecules, drugs, and materials is instantly accessible. By combining AI, robotics, and the worlds largest continually expanding database of chemical programs, we are accelerating chemical discovery to improve quality of life and extend the reach of humanity.

Qualifications

• and design through bring-up, validation, and production.
• Work close to the metal: microcontrollers, motion control, sensors, actuators, and communication buses.
• Partner with electronics engineers on board bring-up and hardware/firmware interfaces, and with platform-software on higher-level control.
• Drive firmware quality: testing, code review, CI for embedded, and robust real-time behaviour.
• Mentor junior firmware engineers and help set the teams embedded standards and practices.
• About You
• You are an experienced embedded engineer who likes owning firmware from architecture to hardware on the bench.
• You care about robustness in the real world where a missed edge case means a stalled robot, not just a failed test and you raise the bar for the people around you.
• We expect you to bring:
• 5+ years developing embedded/firmware for electromechanical or robotic systems, including production-grade work.
• Strong C/C++ (and ideally [Python] for tooling/test), with solid embedded fundamentals.
• Deep understanding of microcontrollers, real-time behaviour, interrupts, timers, and communication buses (I²C, SPI, UART, CAN).

Responsibilities

• You will take firmware from architecture through to robust, production-grade code running across our fleet of robotic systems, working closely with electronics, mechanical, and platform-software engineers.
• Architect, develop, test, and maintain embedded firmware for instrument and robotics modules.
• Own firmware for subsystems end to end from
