• Perform circuit analysis, simulation, and testing to ensure the hardware meets functionality and performance requirements.
• Conduct electronic noise analysis and implement strategies to mitigate noise in sensor response data and the measurement systems.
• Perform testing, debugging, and troubleshooting of hardware and firmware to resolve technical issues and ensure product reliability.
• Work with PCB manufacturers, ensuring that design specifications are accurately communicated and deadlines are met.
• Work closely with the firmware team to define hardware-software interfaces and ensure smooth firmware development for embedded systems.
• Conduct hardware architecture design, component selection, and system-level integration, with a focus on optimizing firmware-hardware integration.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (e.g., mechanical engineers, software developers, and manufacturing teams) to drive hardware development and system integration.
• Manage procurement, inventory, and distribution of electronic components, ensuring smooth production workflows.
• Design and implement firmware tests, ensuring robust validation and seamless functionality between hardware and firmware.
• Create and maintain detailed technical documentation, including schematics, design specifications, test reports, and firmware design documentation.

Required Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience in embedded systems hardware development, with a focus on creating high performance embedded systems.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• Strong expertise in designing and analyzing both analog and digital circuits for embedded systems and electronic devices.
• Proficiency in PCB layout, design, and fabrication, using the tools like Altium Designer.
• Proficiency in hardware simulation tools such as SPICE for circuit analysis and optimization.
• Experience with hardware-software integration and a strong focus on testing and validating embedded systems.
• Experience or knowledge in CMOS integration and MEMS is a plus.
• Experience in testing, debugging, and troubleshooting PCBs and embedded systems using tools such as oscilloscopes, and multimeters.
• Proficiency in programming for microcontrollers and embedded systems, with experience in C/C++ for firmware development.
• Experience with signal processing techniques and electronic noise mitigation in measurement systems.
• Experience in creating and maintaining technical documentation, including schematics, technical specifications, and test reports.
• Ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams, including software, mechanical, and manufacturing partners.

What we offer:
