Embedded Engineer Hardware

Key Responsibilities

Design analog and digital hardware architectures for embedded controller modules, including CPU/microcontroller sections, power supplies, digital/analog I/O, and communication/expansion interfaces.

Develop, review, and maintain schematics and multilayer PCB layouts using Altium Designer or KiCad, ensuring compliance with DFM/DFT and manufacturability requirements.

Select and qualify industrial-grade components through lifecycle, derating, and reliability analysis, considering environmental factors such as temperature, vibration, and electrical noise.

Design robust power solutions, including SMPS, LDOs, DC-DC converters, battery management systems, input protection, isolation, and regulation circuits.

Design communication and interface circuits supporting UART, SPI, I²C, CAN, RS485, Ethernet, USB, Modbus, and other industrial protocols.

Develop protection and isolation circuitry for I/O channels, including optocouplers, TVS protection, relay drivers, and other signal conditioning circuits.

Bring up, test, validate, and debug prototype hardware using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and other laboratory equipment in both bench and field environments.

Ensure hardware designs comply with EMC/EMI, ESD, industrial noise immunity, and applicable environmental and regulatory requirements through design reviews and validation testing.

Support manufacturing and production by developing test jigs, troubleshooting production issues, and driving design improvements for quality and reliability.

Prepare and maintain complete hardware documentation, including schematics, BOMs, validation and test reports, revision history, and product release documentation.

Conduct hardware design reviews, provide technical guidance, and mentor junior engineers to promote engineering best practices and design quality.

Required Skills

Strong expertise in analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuit design, including schematic design, signal conditioning, sensor interfaces, power electronics, and industrial I/O circuits.

Extensive experience in embedded hardware design using microcontrollers/processors (STM32, NXP, TI, PIC, AVR, or equivalent), including component selection, circuit simulation, BOM optimization, and hardware architecture development.

Proficiency in PCB design from schematic capture to multilayer layout using Altium Designer, KiCad, Eagle, or equivalent, with expertise in stack-up design, impedance control, signal integrity, grounding, thermal management, and DFM/DFA/DFT practices.

Strong knowledge of industrial hardware design, including isolated I/O, protection circuits (ESD/EFT/Surge), industrial power supplies, galvanic isolation, and robust designs for harsh operating environments.

Experience with industrial communication interfaces and protocols, including UART, SPI, I²C, CAN/CANopen, RS-232, RS-485, Modbus, Ethernet, EtherCAT, USB, and other embedded interfaces.

Solid understanding of EMI/EMC design and regulatory compliance, with experience designing products for CE, UL, FCC, RoHS, IEC, or equivalent industrial standards.

Hands-on experience in hardware bring-up, debugging, validation, and production support using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, power analyzers, protocol analyzers, and other laboratory equipment.

Familiarity with industrial product development, including enclosure and connector selection, DIN rail systems, manufacturing support, documentation, reliability engineering, and cross-functional collaboration with firmware, mechanical, and manufacturing teams.
