Embedded Hardware Design Engineer

About the role

Ready to own the hardware lifecycle from napkin sketch to mass production? We are recruiting an Electrical Design Engineer to join a core R&D engineering team in the Syracuse Metro. Working for one of the most vertically integrated electronics manufacturers in the US, this opportunity gives you the rare ability to design, prototype, stress-test, and watch your work hit production - all under one roof. This is a dedicated New Product Development (NPD) role heavily focused on customer innovation, DFMEA, and stress analysis. Location: Syracuse, New York. Job type: Permanent.

Responsibilities

• Lead board-level hardware development from initial proof-of-concept through schematic capture, layout, bring-up, and full commercial mass production.
• Perform comprehensive Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) to proactively identify risk points and ensure high product reliability.
• Execute rigorous electrical stress analysis, including component derating, thermal evaluations, and worst-case circuit analysis across operating extremes.
• Select, qualify, and integrate core electrical components, balancing performance, unit cost, supply chain availability, and manufacturability.
• Collaborate closely with firmware, mechanical, and layout teams to resolve hardware-level integration challenges without taking on overall architecture control.
• Design and execute verification and validation (V&V) test plans to ensure compliance with relevant industry safety, EMC/EMI, and environmental standards.
• Drive design-for-manufacturability (DFM) handoffs to contract manufacturers, supporting pilot runs and yield optimization through final commercial release.
