Job summary

ECTrons Sdn. Bhd. seeks a Full Stack Hardware Engineer to span circuit design, PCB layout, embedded firmware, bootloaders, and Linux BSP development. The role blends analog/digital hardware with hands-on software in U‑Boot, Zephyr RTOS, and Embedded Linux/Yocto.

Responsibilities include designing circuits, performing simulations, porting firmware, developing drivers, and leading bring-up, debugging, and end-to-end integration with cross-functional teams.

Qualifications

• Proficiency in analog/digital circuit design and power supply design.
• Hands-on experience with U-Boot, Zephyr RTOS, and firmware development in C/C++.
• Working knowledge of Embedded Linux and Yocto Project (BSP layers, recipes, kernel config).
• Experience with I2C, SPI, UART, CAN.

Responsibilities

• Design analog and digital circuits for embedded systems and custom hardware platforms.
• Perform component selection and schematic capture using Altium Designer or KiCAD.
• Conduct circuit simulation and validation using LTSpice or equivalent tools.
• Collaborate on PCB layout for signal integrity, EMI/EMC compliance, and thermal management.
• Develop and port firmware for microcontrollers and SoCs (ARM Cortex-M/A, RISC-V).
• Work with U‑Boot bootloader—porting, board bring-up, and customization for new hardware.
• Develop on Zephyr RTOS—driver development, board support, and application layer.
• Build and maintain Embedded Linux BSPs using Yocto Project (recipes, layers, kernel/device tree configuration).
• Write low‑level drivers and communication stacks (I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, Ethernet).
• Lead board bring‑up: power sequencing, clock/reset validation, peripheral enablement.
• Debug hardware and software issues using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG/SWD debuggers.
• Maintain documentation for schematics, firmware architecture, build systems, and test reports.
• Work closely with software, mechanical, and systems teams for end‑to‑end product integration.

Job description

We are seeking a Full Stack Hardware Engineer who can work across the complete hardware-software stack — from circuit design and PCB layout to embedded firmware, bootloaders, and Linux-based BSP development. The ideal candidate combines strong analog/digital hardware design skills with hands‑on embedded software expertise in U‑Boot, Zephyr RTOS, firmware development, and Embedded Linux/Yocto.

Key Responsibilities

Hardware Design & Development

Design and develop analog and digital circuits for embedded systems and custom hardware platforms.

Perform component selection and schematic capture using Altium Designer or KiCAD.

Conduct circuit simulation and validation using LTSpice or equivalent tools.

Collaborate on PCB layout for signal integrity, EMI/EMC compliance, and thermal management.

Embedded Software & Firmware

Develop and port firmware for microcontrollers and SoCs (ARM Cortex-M/A, RISC-V).

Work with U‑Boot bootloader — porting, board bring‑up, and customization for new hardware.

Develop on Zephyr RTOS — driver development, board support, and application layer.

Build and maintain Embedded Linux BSPs using Yocto Project (recipes, layers, kernel/device tree configuration).

Write low‑level drivers and communication stacks (I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, Ethernet).

Bring‑Up, Testing & Debugging

Lead board bring‑up: power sequencing, clock/reset validation, peripheral enablement.

Debug hardware and software issues using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG/SWD debuggers.

Validate firmware and driver behavior against hardware specifications.

Documentation & Collaboration

Maintain documentation for schematics, firmware architecture, build systems, and test reports.

Work closely with software, mechanical, and systems teams for end‑to‑end product integration.
