Senior Electrical Engineer, Embedded and Controls Focused

About the role

Boston Engineering is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer with expertise in embedded systems hardware design, advanced motor control, and FPGA development. This role involves hands-on design and delivery of robust embedded and control solutions across various client products and mission-critical systems.

Responsibilities

• Designing and developing embedded electronic hardware, including mixed-signal PCB design for control, sensing, and power electronics
• Architecting and implementing advanced control systems, including motor control algorithms such as FOC, PID control, feedback loops, and real-time sensor integration
• Designing motor drive electronics, power stages, gate drive circuitry, and current/position sensing for BLDC, PMSM, and related motor types
• Developing and debugging FPGA-based designs using Verilog, including interfaces, timing-critical logic, and hardware acceleration where appropriate
• Collaborating with firmware, FPGA, mechanical, and systems teams to integrate embedded electronics into larger product architectures
• Performing system-level bring-up, testing, debugging, and optimization of embedded hardware, control systems, and FPGA designs
• Working with embedded communication interfaces and protocols, including I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, and other industry-standard buses
• Developing and validating control algorithms through analysis, simulation, and hardware testing
• Producing clear and thorough technical documentation, including requirements, schematics, design reviews, test plans, and verification reports
• Ensuring designs meet applicable safety, EMC, regulatory, and quality requirements throughout the product development lifecycle

Requirements

• Minimum of seven plus years of professional experience in embedded electrical engineering, preferably in a product development or consulting environment
• Strong experience with PCB design for embedded systems, including schematic capture, layout oversight, component selection, and design for manufacturability
• Demonstrated experience designing and implementing motor control systems, including field-oriented control (FOC)
• Experience developing FPGA designs in Verilog, including simulation, synthesis, and hardware debug
• Proficiency in embedded C/C++ for microcontrollers and processors supporting real-time control and hardware interaction
• Experience with hardware/software/FPGA integration and debugging at the system level
• Familiarity with RTOS concepts and real-time embedded system constraints
• Strong understanding of power electronics, signal integrity, grounding, and EMI/EMC considerations

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related field (Master’s degree preferred)
• Proven ability to lead technical efforts, mentor junior engineers, and contribute to design reviews and system architecture decisions
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, with a hands-on, problem-solving mindset
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including client-facing technical discussions
• Familiarity with modern development tools, debuggers, version control systems (e.g., Git), and documentation practices
• Strong understanding of power electronics, signal integrity, grounding, and EMI/EMC considerations
