Embedded Senior Hardware Engineer

We are seeking an experienced Remote Independent Hardware Engineer to take end‑to‑end technical ownership of hardware designs.

This role is intended for a senior engineer who operates with a high level of autonomy, accountability, and engineering discipline, and who delivers results based on technical milestones.

The engineer will be responsible for the complete hardware lifecycle, including schematic design, component selection, bring‑up, validation, failure analysis, and sustaining engineering.
 

The role requires independent decision‑making, early identification and communication of technical risks, and close collaboration with remote hardware, software, FPGA, systems, and manufacturing teams.

Hardware bring‑up and validation activities will be performed in a hybrid model: part of the bring‑up will be conducted locally by the engineer using available equipment,

and part will be executed in remote or centralized laboratories, working in coordination with local hands‑on operators and engineers.
The engineer is responsible for defining structured bring‑up plans, test procedures, and debug strategies, and for analyzing and documenting results across both local and remote environments.
 

The engineer is expected to present and defend the hardware design in formal design reviews and surveys throughout the project, including schematic reviews, milestone reviews, and readiness reviews.

Clear presentation of design decisions, risks, trade‑offs, and validation status is a core responsibility of the role.

The position includes the ability to write basic microcontroller firmware (C/C++) to support hardware bring‑up and validation, such as GPIO control, peripheral configuration (I²C, SPI, UART, ADC, timers), and interface verification.
 

In addition, the engineer should have familiarity with FPGA‑based systems, including understanding common architectures,

reading existing HDL code (VHDL/Verilog) and performing basic debug or minor updates in support of hardware bring‑up and system integration.

Full ownership of embedded software or FPGA development is not required.

Key Qualifications:

• Proven experience in digital and mixed‑signal hardware design
• At least 6+ years of experience
• Hands‑on board bring‑up and hardware debug experience
• Ability to write basic microcontroller code for hardware validation
• Familiarity with FPGA systems and HDL at an integration/debug level
• Experience presenting designs in technical reviews and surveys
• Strong documentation, communication, and self‑management skills
• Ability to work effectively in a remote, high‑trust environment
