Job Description

Do you have a passion for building and optimizing the brains behind cutting-edge devices? Are you excited about designing embedded systems that power everything from IoT devices to autonomous robots? If you love working on hardware-software integration and crafting solutions that operate seamlessly in real-world environments, then our client has the perfect opportunity for you. We’re looking for an Embedded Systems Engineer (aka The Hardware Maestro) to design and develop the next generation of embedded systems that transform industries and elevate user experiences.

As an Embedded Systems Engineer at our client, you’ll work with hardware engineers, software developers, and product teams to design, develop, and optimize embedded systems. You’ll be responsible for writing firmware, working with microcontrollers, and ensuring that hardware and software interact flawlessly, all while maintaining system efficiency, performance, and reliability.

Key Responsibilities:

  1. Design and Develop Embedded Systems: Architect and develop embedded systems that integrate software with hardware, focusing on performance, stability, and power efficiency. You’ll work with microcontrollers, processors, sensors, and actuators to create custom hardware solutions for real-world applications.
  2. Firmware Development and Optimization: Write and optimize low-level firmware for embedded systems using programming languages like C, C++, or Python. You’ll ensure that the firmware is robust, efficient, and designed to handle real-time tasks with minimal power consumption.
  3. Hardware-Software Integration: Collaborate with hardware engineers to ensure seamless integration between hardware components and software. You’ll work on interfacing sensors, peripherals, and communication modules with embedded processors, ensuring smooth data transfer and device operation.
  4. Debug and Test Embedded Systems: Use debugging tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers to troubleshoot and optimize embedded systems. You’ll perform rigorous testing to validate system stability, performance, and compliance with design specifications.
  5. Optimize for Power and Performance: Design embedded systems with a focus on optimizing power consumption and performance. You’ll balance the needs of real-time processing with low-power operation to create systems that are efficient, responsive, and reliable.
  6. Collaborate on IoT, Robotics, and Industrial Automation Projects: Work on projects that involve IoT devices, robotics, industrial automation, and consumer electronics. You’ll develop systems for a wide range of industries, including smart homes, healthcare, automotive, and manufacturing.
  7. Stay Up-to-Date with Emerging Technologies: Stay informed on the latest advancements in embedded systems, microcontrollers, and real-time operating systems (RTOS). You’ll experiment with new hardware platforms, communication protocols, and development tools to continuously improve your designs.

Requirements

Required Skills:

  • Embedded Systems Development Expertise: Extensive experience designing and developing embedded systems using microcontrollers (e.g., ARM, PIC, AVR, STM32) and processors. You’re proficient in writing low-level firmware and understanding hardware-software interactions.
  • Firmware Programming: Strong programming skills in C, C++, and assembly. You can write efficient firmware for microcontrollers, optimize for performance, and debug hardware interfaces.
  • Hardware Integration: Proficiency in interfacing sensors, communication modules (e.g., Bluetooth, Wi-Fi), and actuators with embedded systems. You’re experienced with I2C, SPI, UART, and other communication protocols.
  • Power and Performance Optimization: Expertise in optimizing embedded systems for low power consumption, battery efficiency, and high performance, especially in real-time operating environments.
  • Debugging and Testing: Hands-on experience with embedded systems testing and debugging tools, such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and in-circuit emulators. You know how to diagnose and resolve hardware-software integration issues.

Educational Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Embedded Systems, or a related field. Equivalent experience in embedded systems development is also highly valued.
  • Certifications or additional coursework in embedded systems, firmware development, or hardware-software integration are a plus.

Experience Requirements:

  • 3+ years of experience in embedded systems development, with hands-on experience designing and deploying embedded solutions in production environments.
  • Proven track record of developing and optimizing embedded systems for industries such as IoT, automotive, robotics, or consumer electronics.
  • Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS) and development tools like Keil, MPLAB, or IAR is highly desirable.

Benefits

  • Health and Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance plans with low co-pays and premiums.
  • Paid Time Off: Competitive vacation, sick leave, and 20 paid holidays per year.
  • Work-Life Balance: Flexible work schedules and telecommuting options.
  • Professional Development: Opportunities for training, certification reimbursement, and career advancement programs.
  • Wellness Programs: Access to wellness programs, including gym memberships, health screenings, and mental health resources.
  • Life and Insurance: Life insurance and short-term/long-term coverage.
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP): Confidential counseling and support services for personal and professional challenges.
  • Tuition Reimbursement: Financial assistance for continuing education and professional development.
  • Community Engagement: Opportunities to participate in community service and volunteer activities.
