Embedded / Edge Control Engineer
Location: Tallahassee, FL
Team: Embedded & Edge Control Systems
R-Materials is building a new class of energy infrastructure based on superconducting wire systems, AI-based online control, and SMES energy storage, unlocking performance levels that conventional power systems cannot reach. As global computing, AI, and energy demands accelerate, traditional copper-based infrastructure has reached its physical limits. We believe this moment demands a fundamentally different approach to how electricity is transmitted, controlled, and stored.
R-Materials is turning superconductivity into deployable, continuously operating infrastructure for data centers, energy systems, and critical facilities. If you are motivated by hard physical problems, real-world deployment, and the challenge of translating deep physics into operational systems, we’d love to hear from you.
The Role
As an Embedded / Edge Control Engineer, you will implement and support the real-time software that operates superconducting wire systems and energy storage infrastructure at the edge.
You will work closely with senior embedded engineers and cross-functional teams, including superconducting systems, mechanical, electrical, AI, and cloud engineers, to build reliable, deterministic control software that executes safely under real-world conditions.
This role is ideal for engineers who want to grow deep expertise in embedded systems while contributing to safety-critical infrastructure.
Key Responsibilities
• Implement embedded and real-time control software for superconducting wire systems and SMES energy storage
• Support development of state machines, safety interlocks, and monitoring logic
• Integrate sensors, actuators, and communication interfaces
• Assist in defining and testing interfaces between edge systems and cloud control platforms
• Participate in system integration, validation, and deployment activities
• Support troubleshooting and root-cause analysis during testing and early deployments
• Contribute to code reviews, documentation, and testing procedures
• Follow best practices for safety-critical and real-time software development
Qualifications
• • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related STEM field
• 2–5 years of experience developing embedded or real-time systems
• Experience with C/C++ (or Rust) in embedded environments
• Familiarity with real-time concepts such as interrupts, timing constraints, and state machines
• Basic understanding of hardware interfaces (GPIO, SPI, I²C, CAN, etc.)
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Clear written and verbal communication skills
Nice to Have
• Exposure to industrial control systems, PLCs, or automation
• Experience with RTOS or bare-metal embedded systems
• Familiarity with energy systems, power electronics, or control theory
• Experience integrating embedded systems with cloud or networked services
• Interest in safety-critical or high-reliability systems
Export Compliance
This role may involve access to technologies subject to U.S. export control regulations.
Employment is contingent upon eligibility to comply with applicable export control laws.
