Principal Responsibilities: * Design, develop, and support electronic hardware for new and existing products throughout the product lifecycle, including validation, production release, and sustaining engineering. * Develop, maintain, and troubleshoot embedded firmware for microcontroller-based systems to support product functionality, enhancements, and issue resolution. * Perform board bring-up, hardware verification, debugging, and root-cause analysis using laboratory test and measurement equipment. * Collaborate with cross-functional and global engineering teams to develop robust, reliable, and manufacturable product solutions. * Participate in customer-facing technical discussions, workshops, and escalation activities, including domestic and international travel as required. You Will Make an Impact By: * Designing, developing, and supporting electronic hardware solutions for new and existing products from concept through production and sustaining engineering. * Developing and maintaining embedded firmware for microcontroller-based products to support product functionality, enhancements, and issue resolution. * Driving hardware verification, board bring-up, troubleshooting, and root-cause investigations to improve product performance and reliability. * Working collaboratively in a multi‑disciplinary engineering environment to deliver robust, high-quality products. * Taking ownership of technical challenges and contributing to continuous improvement initiatives across products and processes. * Representing the engineering team in customer-facing meetings and collaborating with global teams to address technical challenges and customer requirements. * Ability and willingness to travel domestically and internationally up to 15% of the time, including occasional extended trips to support customer meetings, technical workshops, product reviews, and issue-resolution activities. Skills You Bring: * Strong foundation in electronic circuit design, including schematic capture, component selection, and debugging of digital and mixed-signal circuits. * Experience with PCB development and familiarity with PCB fabrication, assembly, and test processes, including Design for Manufacturability (DfM), Design for Reliability (DfR), and Design for Testability (DfT). * Experience developing embedded firmware for microcontroller-based systems using C/C++. * Hands-on experience with board bring-up, hardware validation, and laboratory debug tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and related instrumentation. * Experience using Python or other scripting languages for engineering automation, data analysis, test development, or productivity improvements. * Strong communication, documentation, collaboration, and problem-solving skills with the ability to work effectively across engineering disciplines and customer-facing environments. * Demonstrated ability to learn new technologies, adapt to changing technical requirements, and contribute across multiple engineering disciplines. * Minimum of 5 years of relevant electronics engineering experience with a Bachelor's Degree or 3 years of relevant electronics engineering experience with a Master's Degree. Required Skills:

  • Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree or equivalent experience
  • 5+ years of related experience in Electronic Engineering
Preferred Skills:
