Job description

Build Products. Solve Hard Problems. Shape What's Next.

We’re looking for a Lead Embedded Hardware Engineer who loves building things.

Not someone who wants to maintain legacy products. Not someone who only owns one small piece of a design. We’re looking for an engineer who enjoys taking ideas from concept through to production and wants to have a genuine impact on the products they create.

You’ll work on sophisticated embedded electronic systems involving high-speed digital hardware, mixed-signal design, custom control boards, advanced processors, and connected devices. One project may involve a simple microcontroller-based design; the next could involve a high-performance MPU platform, complex interfaces, and challenging signal integrity requirements.

This is a hands‑on technical role where you’ll be trusted to make engineering decisions, solve difficult problems, and help shape the future direction of products.

What You’ll Be Working

• msComplex PCB design and layo
• utMCU and MPU-based architectur
• esHardware bring-up, validation, and debuggi
• ngProduct development from concept through producti
• onNew product innovation and technology evaluati
• ngDesign for Manufacture (DFM) and Design for Test (DF

AI: One thing that makes this opportunity different is the company’s outlook on engineering. The leadership team believes AI will fundamentally change how products are designed, tested, and developed over the coming years. They’re actively looking for engineers who are curious about how AI can improve productivity, automate repetitive tasks, accelerate development, and create better products.

Products. You don’t need to be an AI expert. However, if you’re already experimenting with AI tools, building side projects, automating workflows, or exploring how technology can improve engineering outcomes, we’d love to hear from you.
