Job Description

Job Title: Embedded Engineer We are seeking an experienced and innovative Senior Embedded Hardware Engineer to lead the design, development, and validation of complex embedded hardware systems. You will play a key role in architecting and implementing hardware solutions for products ranging from embedded IoT devices to high-performance embedded systems. This role requires deep technical expertise, leadership, and cross-functional collaboration. Key Responsibilities: Design & Development: Design and develop embedded hardware systems including microcontroller/microprocessor-based boards, sensors, power supplies, and communication interfaces. Create schematics and perform PCB layout design using tools like Altium Designer, OrCAD, or KiCad. Select components and design circuits that meet performance, cost, and manufacturability requirements. Prototyping & Testing: Build and test hardware prototypes to verify performance and compliance with specifications. Conduct validation and verification (V&V), including signal integrity, EMI/EMC, thermal, and power analysis. Firmware Interaction: Work closely with embedded software/firmware engineers to ensure seamless integration of hardware and software. Provide bring-up support and troubleshooting for embedded firmware development. Project Leadership: Lead or contribute to project planning, risk assessment, and technical documentation. Mentor junior engineers and review their designs to ensure quality and adherence to standards. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with mechanical engineers, industrial designers, product managers, and manufacturing teams. Support transition from prototype to mass production, including DFM/DFT considerations and interaction with contract manufacturers.
