Sr. Embedded Engineer

About the role As a senior embedded systems engineer, you will bring automotive-grade embedded engineering discipline to a greenfield product environment, owning firmware from architecture through production deployment across condition monitoring systems, power electronics, and grid-edge devices. Our integrated model of combining advanced engineering, tight supply-chain control, and exceptional service empowers you to build resilient solutions that restore reliability and control to the operators who keep the world energized. What you'll do Design and develop production-grade firmware for asset condition monitoring systems and high-power electronics platforms. Own schematic review and hardware bring-up i.e. bridging hardware and software from early prototype through field deployment Drive end-to-end product development cycles including requirements, architecture, implementation, validation, and deployment Implement and maintain CAN, LIN, Modbus, IEC61850 etc communication stacks as required by system architecture Apply automotive embedded architecture principles (ISO 26262, AUTOSAR) to power electronics and monitoring applications Develop FPGA-based control and signal processing pipelines; write low-level peripheral drivers and RTOS application layers Collaborate with hardware, power electronics, and product teams on system requirements and interface definitions Participate in design reviews, FMEA, and qualification testing across product lines Qualifications First Principles Thinking 4+ years of embedded systems engineering experience with at least one complete end-to-end product development cycle Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field Strong proficiency in C/C++; experience with bare-metal, RTOS-based (FreeRTOS, Zephyr), and embedded Linux environments Hands-on automotive embedded experience: ISO 26262 functional safety, AUTOSAR architecture, or ECU development Experience with automotive/industrial communication protocols: CAN, LIN, SPI, I2C, UART, Modbus, IEC61850 Proficiency with debugging tools: JTAG, oscilloscopes, logic analysers, and hardware bring-up workflows Experience with version control (Git), build systems (Make/CMake), and Agile development practices Strong debugging and problem-solving skills across hardware-software interactions Excellent written and verbal communications in English What we offer Collaborative work environment Challenging problems to solve Competitive benefits including medical, dental, and vision Equity package Ayr designs and manufactures critical power grid equipment including power transformers, distribution transformers, special-purpose transformers, high-voltage circuit breakers, and medium-voltage switchgear. They serve markets such as renewables, data centers, utilities, oil & gas, and industrial sectors. They position themselves as partners in power projects, offering lifecycle support and working to deliver faster than average industry timelines.
