Senior Embedded Control Hardware Engineer

Rockwell Automation•Eden Prairie, MN

5d•Hybrid

About The Position

As an Embedded Hardware Engineer, you will work on complex, high‑performance electronics that sit at the core of motion systems used across global industrial applications. You will have the opportunity to build hardware and product — taking designs from idea to production, work in a deeply technical and versatile environment, design embedded hardware or converters, inverters and ICT technology for industrial environment, and grow both technically and professionally, with increasing scope, responsibility, and influence over product direction and architecture. Our global engineering culture values collaboration, technical thoughtfulness, and new ideas. The environment is fast‑paced and dynamic contributing to multiple products. You will work on a team comprised of engineers across multiple disciplines (e.g., mechanical, power electronics, embedded software) to bring our product roadmaps to life. Expand Beyond Traditional Servo Drives While you will work on advanced servo drive hardware, its scope goes well beyond conventional motion control. You will also contribute to the evolution of Independent Cart Technology (ICT) — a growing motion technology that introduces new architectural challenges and opportunities, including distributed control, network and power architectures, high‑performance communication and synchronization, and scalability, modularity, and system‑level robustness.

Requirements

Bachelor's Degree in Relevant Field
Advanced understanding of fundamental electrical engineering principles, including circuit analysis, control theory, and electromagnetics, applied to complex, real‑world industrial systems
Expertise in designing and supporting power supplies and embedded control hardware in production‑grade products, including processors, memory, peripherals, and industrial interfaces
Expertise in analog and mixed‑signal circuit design, including signal conditioning, filter design, voltage and current sensing, gate‑drive circuits, and protection circuitry
Experience laboratory and hardware bring‑up skills, including use of oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power analysis equipment, systematic hardware debug techniques and ability to write low-level drivers
Practical experience with EMI/EMC mitigation techniques, PCB layout best practices, high‑speed digital design considerations, thermal management, and noise‑robust hardware architectures
Practical experience communicating complex hardware and system-level concepts to stakeholders
Proficiency with modeling and simulation tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, LTspice, Simplorer, HyperLynx, Maxwell, or similar) for system‑level analysis, signal integrity evaluation, and hardware trade studies
Working knowledge of embedded and programmable hardware platforms, including microprocessors, digital logic devices, CPLDs, FPGAs, and Ethernet‑based industrial communication (IEEE 802.3)

Nice To Haves

Typically requires a minimum of 5 years experience
Experience with test automation (for example Python), and data analysis tools
Exposure to AI‑enabled hardware, AI‑assisted design tools, or data‑driven engineering workflows
Knowledge of security‑enabled hardware architectures and secure‑by‑design principles, including hardware root of trust, secure boot, device identity, and secure update mechanisms, with awareness of industrial cybersecurity and safety standards such as EN/IEC 50742 and their application across the product development lifecycle
Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering
