Key Responsibilities
- Design and develop embedded electronic systems centered on microprocessor and microcontroller platforms for high-precision sensing applications
- Architect and implement low-noise analog and mixed-signal circuitry integrated with embedded processing solutions
- Lead the development and release of new products, with full ownership of electronics design from concept through production
- Evaluate product performance limitations and define system-level improvements through both hardware and embedded firmware enhancements
- Troubleshoot complex system issues down to root cause, spanning electronics, embedded systems, and sensor behavior
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including firmware, mechanical, and manufacturing engineering to drive product success
- Contribute to technology roadmaps by introducing new embedded processing approaches, architectures, and design methodologies
Required Experience & Skills
- Extensive experience designing embedded systems using microprocessors and/or microcontrollers, including system architecture, interfacing, and bring-up
- Strong background in low-noise electronics, precision analog design, and sensor integration
- Proven ability to develop and support complex, multidisciplinary products in a production environment
- Experience debugging and optimizing embedded systems, including hardware/software interaction and system-level troubleshooting
- Hands-on engineering capability, including test development, lab setup, and validation of embedded electronic systems
- Working knowledge of manufacturing processes, including documentation control, BOM structures, and engineering change (ECO) processes
- Ability to operate independently, drive technical decisions, and contribute as a lead member of cross-functional teams
Preferred Background
- Experience with precision sensors, instrumentation systems, or vacuum-based technologies
- Familiarity with semiconductor capital equipment or highly regulated industrial environments
- Exposure to firmware development or close collaboration with embedded software teams
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field (advanced degree preferred)
- 10+ years of experience in electrical engineering, with a strong emphasis on embedded microprocessor-based system design
