Sr System Engineer

About the role

We are looking for a talented and versatile Senior Systems Engineer to join our embedded engineering team. In this role, you will own the full development lifecycle of embedded electronic systems - from concept and architecture through hardware design, PCB layout, and firmware implementation.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop electronic systems from requirements to production, including power supply design, signal conditioning, communication interfaces, and mixed-signal circuits.
• Perform schematic capture using industry-standard EDA tools (Altium).
• Execute PCB layout, routing, and design rule review for multi-layer boards, ensuring signal integrity, EMC compliance, and thermal performance.
• Write and maintain hardware design documentation, including schematics, BOM, and design verification reports.
• Lead PCB design reviews.
• Implement and optimize peripheral drivers (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, USB, Ethernet) and communication stacks.
• Write clean, maintainable C/C++ code following embedded best practices, including memory management, interrupt handling, and low-power design.
• Perform bring-up, debugging, and root cause analysis of complex hardware/firmware issues using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG/SWD debug tools.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure system-level requirements are met and properly validated.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• 3+ years of hands-on experience in embedded systems engineering in a professional setting.
• Strong proficiency in C/C++ firmware development for 32-bit ARM MCUs or MPUs.
• Solid understanding of digital and analog circuit design, including power electronics fundamentals.
• Experience with embedded communication protocols (UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, USB, Ethernet).
• Proficiency with debug tools: JTAG/SWD probes, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters.
• Ability to read and interpret datasheets, application notes, and reference manuals independently.
• Strong documentation habits and experience with version control systems (Git).

Preferred qualifications

• Embedded Linux experience - board bring-up, device tree configuration, and kernel/driver development.
• Yocto Project or Ubuntu for custom Linux distribution builds.
• Familiarity with Linux IPC mechanisms, system services, and application development.
• Field-Oriented Control (FOC) / BLDC / PMSM motor drive design and implementation.
• Power electronics design: DC-DC converters, motor driver stages, gate drive circuits.
• Experience with motor control libraries or DSPs.

Pay

$109,500 - $171,150 annually, plus bonus opportunities and commission pay. Final offer dependent on geographic location, applicable experience, and skillset.
