About The Position

We are looking for an Embedded Systems Engineer to build full-stack hardware/firmware systems for customers delivering intelligent, automated technology solutions. You will oversee system integration, hardware bring-up, firmware development, part validation, and manage the product lifecycle from prototype to mass production.

Requirements

BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Robotics, or related field.
Solid C/C++ programming skills with a strong understanding of memory management and real-time constraints.
4+ years working in bare metal and RTOS-based systems (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, etc.).
Competence in BLE, LoRa, or LTE, plus industrial standards (CAN, Modbus).
Skilled with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, and power analyzers.

Responsibilities

Partner with electrical engineers to select components based on system needs, specifically focusing on microcontrollers (MCUs), communication interfaces, and power management units.
Support the integration of hardware, firmware, and software systems to ensure reliable overall system operation.
Bring up new hardware platforms and debug standard interfaces including SPI, I2C, UART, as well as communication protocols such as CAN Bus, RS-485, and Modbus.
Troubleshoot hardware and firmware issues to ensure reliable connectivity and system operation.
Develop low-level drivers and firmware.
Design and implement robust Finite State Machines (FSMs) to manage system behavior and safety states.
Develop firmware with consideration for system reliability, performance, and real-time constraints.
Develop and implement protocols to optimize energy consumption for battery-powered systems and sensors.
Work with mechanical, electrical, and software teams to integrate hardware and firmware into complete systems.
Collaborate across engineering disciplines to troubleshoot and resolve system-level issues.
Design automated test fixtures for system sub-systems.
Validate design integrity under dynamic conditions, including vibration and thermal testing.
Support product validation from prototype through production.
