Embedded Systems Engineer
We are seeking a highly experienced and technically proficient Embedded Systems Engineer to serve as a technical leader for our complex instrumentation systems. You will own embedded hardware architecture decisions, lead cross-functional engineering teams through hands-on expertise, and drive critical design decisions that impact product performance. This role offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge instrumentation technology while providing technical leadership in a fast-paced, innovation-driven environment. Essential Duties And Responsibilities:
Define hardware requirements and specifications based on system-level performance needs Debug complex embedded system issues and perform comprehensive root cause analysis Lead Design Verification Testing (DVT) processes and create validation test plans Provide direct technical guidance and direction to electrical engineering and firmware teams Challenge technical assumptions and validate designs through hands-on investigation Resolve technical roadblocks and integration issues that impact product development Create and maintain specifications, requirements documentation, and test reports Lead technical design reviews and communicate design rationale to cross-functional teams Qualifications:
Typically requires a minimum of 8 years of related experience with a Bachelor's degree; or 6 years and a Master's degree; or a PhD with 3 years of experience; or equivalent experience. Extensive experience with embedded hardware debugging and analysis tools Good understanding of PCA design, signal integrity, and system integration principles Proven track record with Design Verification Testing (DVT) processes and V&V documentation Strong root cause analysis capabilities for complex technical issues Experience leading technical teams through expertise rather than process management Systems thinking approach with understanding of interdependencies across subsystems Hands-on troubleshooting experience with embedded system design and integration Experience translating complex system requirements into actionable hardware specifications Strong written and verbal communication skills for both technical and non-technical audiences Ability to make critical decisions and own technical outcomes in fast-paced environments Collaborative approach to working with cross-functional engineering teams Self-motivated problem solver who thrives on complex technical challenges The estimated base salary range for the Staff Embedded Systems Engineer role based in the United States of America is: $126,800 - $190,200. Compensation decisions are dependent on several factors including, but not limited to, an individual's qualifications, location where the role is to be performed, internal equity, and alignment with market data. Additionally, all employees are eligible for one of our variable cash programs (bonus or commission) and eligible roles may receive equity as part of the compensation package. We offer a wide range of benefits as innovative as our work, including access to genomics sequencing, family planning, health/dental/vision, retirement benefits, and paid time off.
