About The Position

Are you inspired by challenging the status quo? Do you thrive in collaborative environments that drive results? If so, Gates could be for you. Gates is a leading manufacturer of application-specific fluid power and power transmission solutions. We push the boundaries of material science to engineer solutions that continually exceed customer expectations. Let's simplify it, think belts and hoses. Found in motorcycles, conveyor belts, cars, tractors, blenders, vacuum cleaners, bicycles, & 3D printers just to name a few. Because why not do it all? Essential Duties and Responsibilities   We are seeking an Embedded Systems Integration Engineer to lead the integration of our drive control unit within diverse motor and sensor environments.This position bridges firmware and hardware: you will define how control, communication, and power interfaces come together into a reliable and cohesive system.Your work will focus on adapting firmware, defining wiring and harness specifications, and ensuring robust power and signal management across components.

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics, or Computer Engineering.
• 4+ years of experience in embedded systems development and integration for e-mobility, automotive, or robotics.
• Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems (e.g., STM32, NXP, or similar MCUs).
• Strong understanding of DC power systems and electrical interfaces.
• Experience with CAN bus, UART, PWM, and analog sensor signals.
• Comfortable using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and power measurement tools.
• Ability to interpret wiring diagrams and schematics for integration purposes.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in motor control, sensor integration, or vehicle communication systems.

• Ensure signal integrity and protection against noise, crosstalk, and EMI.
• Work with suppliers or internal teams to validate harness prototypes and interface documentation.
• Power Supply & System Reliability
• Analyze and validate power distribution across the system (voltage stability, current limits, startup behavior).
• Identify and mitigate risks related to undervoltage, transient events, or power sequencing.
• Support the definition of protection circuitry and system safety measures.
• Hardware Compatibility & Testing
• Verify interface compatibility with existing PCBs and identify required updates or new specifications.
• Support integration and validation testing across prototypes and target environments.
• Diagnose and resolve communication, signal, or power-related integration issues.
• Documentation & Cross-Functional Collaboration
• Prepare and maintain integration documentation, interface specifications, and firmware release notes.
• Collaborate closely with electronics, control, and testing engineers to ensure system coherence.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of integration methods and test procedures.
