Embedded Engineer

Job Title: Embedded Hardware Engineer

Job Summary

We are looking for a skilled and motivated Embedded Hardware Engineer to join our team. The ideal candidate will be responsible for the design, development, testing, and validation of embedded hardware systems for a wide range of applications. The role involves schematic design, PCB layout, component selection, system bring-up, and debugging of embedded systems. includes ensuring compliance with global regulatory standards (FCC, CE, etc.)

Roles & Responsibilities

• Design and develop embedded hardware systems including microcontroller/microprocessor-based boards.
• Create schematics and PCB layouts using industry-standard tools (e.g., Altium, OrCAD, KiCad).
• Select appropriate components and ensure BOM optimization and DFM/DFT compliance.
• Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, and system teams to meet product requirements.
• Perform hardware bring-up, debugging, and validation using lab instruments (oscilloscope, logic analyzer, multimeter, etc.).
• Ensure signal integrity, power integrity, and EMI/EMC compliance in hardware design.
• Support product development from concept to production and assist in certifications.
• Ensure hardware meets EMI/EMC and wireless regulatory compliance (FCC, CE, IC, ETSI, TELEC, etc.).
• Generate and maintain detailed documentation including schematics, layout, test reports, and user manuals.
• Interface with vendors and contract manufacturers for prototype and mass production.

Education and Experience Required

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Electronics/Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 2 to 6 years of hands-on experience in embedded hardware design and development.
• Proven track record of successful product development cycles from concept to production.

Competencies Description

• Analytical Thinking: Ability to troubleshoot and debug complex hardware systems efficiently.
• Attention to Detail: Precision in schematic capture, layout, and documentation.
• Team Collaboration: Effective communication with cross-functional teams including firmware, mechanical, and test engineers.
• Project Ownership: Capable of handling complete hardware blocks independently with minimal supervision.
• Time Management: Prioritizing tasks to meet tight development deadlines.
• Continuous Learning: Keeping up with the latest trends in embedded systems, processors, and communication protocols.

Must Have Skills

• Strong understanding of digital and analog circuit design.
• Experience with microcontrollers (ARM Cortex, PIC, MSP430, etc.) and peripherals (UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, USB).
• Proficient in schematic capture and PCB design tools like Altium Designer, OrCAD, Eagle, or KiCad.
• Hands-on experience with lab instruments: oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, etc.
• Knowledge of power management design (LDOs, DC-DC converters, battery charging).
• Familiarity with EMI/EMC considerations and debugging techniques.
• Basic understanding of firmware interfaces to support system bring-up.
• Exposure to environmental and reliability testing standards (ESD, thermal, vibration, etc.) is a plus.
