Sensors & Smart Instruments | Embedded Systems | Industrial Connectivity

Design Intelligence. Engineer Precision. Power the Future of Electrochemistry.

At Toshcon Instruments, we are building the next generation of smart sensors and analytical instrumentswhere sensing, electronics, connectivity, and intelligence come together in one seamless ecosystem.

We are looking for an experienced Hardware Design Lead who can architect, design, and industrialize embedded hardware systems for advanced sensing technologies.

Role Overview

You will lead the hardware development of smart sensors and instruments for applications such as:

pH / ORP

Conductivity

Dissolved Oxygen (Electrochemical & Optical)

Chlorine & Ion Sensors

These systems will integrate seamlessly with PLCs and industrial automation platforms, including leading industrial products & ecosystems.

Key Responsibilities

Design and develop PCB hardware for embedded sensing systems

Integrate microcontrollers, DSPs, and precision analog front-end circuits

Develop smart sensor electronics with fieldbus and Ethernet-based communication

Build and validate prototype evaluation boards (PoC to Production)

Architect systems for industrial-grade reliability, accuracy, and repeatability

Lead hardware validation, debugging, and failure analysis

Collaborate with global R&D partners and cross-functional teams (Hardware, Software, and Mechanical)

Define and execute System Design Requirements (SDRS) and technical documentation

Drive cost optimization, manufacturability, and project timelines

Technical Requirements

Core Hardware & Embedded Design

Strong experience with ARM Cortex, RISC-V, or similar architectures

Expertise in analog and digital circuit design for high-precision, low-noise systems

Hands-on experience in PCB design, layout, signal integrity, and power management

Experience with IC selection, ASICs, and sensor interfacing

Communication & Industrial Protocols

Ethernet, TCP/IP (IPv4/IPv6)

PROFINET, CAN, SPI, IC, UART

Familiarity with Ethernet-APL and Single Pair Ethernet (SPE)

Exposure to WLAN, Bluetooth, and LTE communication modules

Validation & Debugging

Oscilloscopes, Logic Analyzers, and JTAG tools

Root cause analysis and failure diagnostics

Hardware validation under industrial operating conditions

Compliance & Industrialization

Knowledge of CE, IP Ratings, and ATEX standards (preferred)

Design for miniaturization, scalability, and production readiness

Electromechanical system integration

Embedded Software (Preferred)

Working knowledge of C/C++ and embedded firmware development

Exposure to RTOS platforms such as FreeRTOS, Zephyr, or QNX

What Makes This Role Different?

You won't just be designing hardware boards.

You'll be building the intelligence that powers next-generation sensors and analytical instruments.

From electrochemical signals to actionable insights

From electronics and connectivity to real-time industrial control

From component-level design to complete system architecture

Ideal Candidate

810+ years of experience in hardware design, embedded electronics, or industrial instrumentation

Experience in industrial sensors, automation systems, or precision measurement technologies

Proven ability to lead projects from concept and prototyping through production and scale-up

Comfortable collaborating with international technology and R&D partners

Strong ownership mindset with deep engineering expertise and system-level thinking
