Job Description:
Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S.; Sponsorship is not available for this position at this time.
The Electrical Engineer 2 - Embedded Systems Hardware will design, develop, test, and validate MCU-based embedded hardware platforms, with a strong focus on circuit design, hardware bring-up, troubleshooting, and reference design delivery. You will work closely with hardware, firmware, systems, test, product development, architecture, and reliability engineers to solve hardware and system-level challenges. Working knowledge of embedded firmware will enable effective MCU configuration, hardware validation, and HW/FW integration and debugging.
You’ll also be DISRUPTIVE through these duties and responsibilities:
- Actively contribute as hardware electrical engineer in a multi-disciplinary team of engineers designing, prototyping, testing, troubleshooting and documenting of embedded electronics platforms.
- You will design, prototype, test, troubleshoot, and document embedded electronics platforms as part of a multidisciplinary engineering team.
- Develop embedded hardware from concept and schematic through bring-up, validation, and documentation, including test plans, procedures, and test cases.
- Design and validate MCU interface circuitry, including analog and digital signal conditioning, filtering, communication interfaces, control circuits, and protection circuitry.
- Understand and troubleshoot MCU peripherals and interfaces, including GPIO, timers, ADCs, and communication peripherals, while partnering closely with firmware engineers.
- Independently troubleshoot embedded hardware and system-level interactions, using hardware modifications and embedded firmware as needed to isolate root cause.
- Evaluate critical electronic components, perform technical tradeoff analyses, and recommend design or requirement changes based on performance, cost, risk, and project needs.
- Apply engineering best practices including circuit simulation, derating analysis, PCB design/layout, instrumentation, root-cause analysis, validation, and technical documentation.
- Own assigned deliverables against project schedules and work breakdown structures while proactively communicating technical risks, opportunities, recommendations, and required escalations.
- Collaborate effectively with hardware, firmware, systems, test, reliability, product-development teams, and external semiconductor/component suppliers.
What TOOLS you’ll bring with you:
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related engineering field, with approximately 2+ years of relevant hands-on experience.
- Strong fundamentals in analog and digital circuit design.
- Hands-on experience designing, bringing up, testing, and troubleshooting MCU-based embedded hardware.
- Proficiency using laboratory instrumentation including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, and power supplies.
- Experience with schematic capture and the PCB design/layout process using ECAD tools.
- Experience applying circuit simulation and engineering analysis to guide and validate hardware designs.
- Working knowledge of MCU peripherals including GPIO, timers, ADCs, and serial communication interfaces.
- Demonstrated ability to systematically troubleshoot hardware and perform root-cause analysis.
Other TOOLS we prefer you to have:
- Experience performing PCB rework and circuit modifications to support prototype bring-up, debugging, and design validation.
- Experience using embedded C/C++ to configure MCU peripherals and support hardware bring-up, test, and troubleshooting.
- Experience supporting EMC/EMI testing, troubleshooting results, and implementing design improvements.
- Experience with embedded communication interfaces such as UART, I²C, SPI, USB, or CAN.
- Experience evaluating and selecting MCUs, sensors, analog devices, communication ICs, or other semiconductor components.
We provide these great perks and benefits:
- Robust health, dental and vision insurance plans.
- Generous 401 (K) savings plan.
- Education assistance.
- On-site wellness, fitness center, food, and coffee service.
