Embedded Systems Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and test embedded hardware and firmware for manufacturing equipment and automation systems.
• Integrate embedded systems with existing production machinery, PLCs, and SCADA systems.
• Diagnose and resolve complex technical issues related to embedded systems on the manufacturing floor to minimize downtime.
• Develop and maintain documentation for embedded system designs, code, and operational procedures.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams (production, mechanical, electrical) to define system requirements and implement solutions.
• Optimize existing embedded systems for performance, reliability, and efficiency in a high‑volume production environment.

Recommended Qualifications

• Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems development.
• Experience with microcontrollers (e.g., ARM Cortex‑M) and their peripherals (e.g., SPI, I2C, UART, ADC).
• Familiarity with real‑time operating systems (RTOS) and bare‑metal programming.
• Ability to read schematics, use debugging tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers), and perform hardware bring‑up.
• Understanding of industrial communication protocols (e.g., Modbus, CAN, EtherCAT) and sensor integration.

Bonus Qualifications

• Experience with industrial communication protocols (e.g., Modbus, EtherCAT, PROFINET).
• Familiarity with PLC programming concepts or SCADA systems.
• Understanding of Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Testability (DFT).
• Experience developing automated test fixtures for production environments.
• Knowledge of quality control methodologies in electronics manufacturing.
