Overview

A growing industrial technology organization is seeking a senior-level engineer to lead the design and development of embedded hardware platforms used in demanding environments. This role focuses on digital circuit design, PCB development, and system-level integration supporting next-generation control systems.

This is a hands‑on engineering role with strong visibility across engineering and manufacturing teams.

Key Responsibilities

Hardware Design & Development

• Design and develop digital circuit architectures and PCB layouts for embedded systems
• Create and maintain schematics, board layouts, and design documentation
• Select components and ensure alignment with performance, cost, and manufacturability

Embedded Systems Integration

• Develop and support microcontroller‑based systems and digital interfaces (SPI, I²C, UART)
• Collaborate with firmware teams on system integration, timing, and functionality
• Support board bring‑up, debugging, and validation

Testing & Validation

• Execute functional, environmental, and compliance testing
• Troubleshoot hardware issues and implement corrective actions
• Ensure designs meet reliability and performance standards

Manufacturing & Production Support

• Partner with manufacturing teams to resolve build and quality issues
• Support product release, first article validation, and ongoing improvements
• Drive design for manufacturability (DFM) and design for test (DFT)

Documentation & Continuous Improvement

• Develop detailed engineering documentation (BOMs, specs, test plans)
• Maintain revision control and engineering change processes
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives across design and production

Qualifications

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Electronics, or Computer Engineering
• 10+ years of experience in digital hardware design
• Strong experience with PCB design and schematic development tools (e.g., Altium)
• Experience with embedded systems and digital communication protocols

Preferred:

• Experience with FPGA/CPLD or HDL (VHDL/Verilog)
• Familiarity with analog and power electronics
• Knowledge of industry standards (IPC, UL, CSA)
• Experience designing for harsh or industrial environments

What Sets This Role Apart

• High-impact engineering work on complex, real‑world systems
• Strong collaboration across engineering and operations
• Opportunity to influence design standards and product direction
• Stable, growth‑oriented environment with strong technical leadership
