Embedded Engineer - Product Development & Maintenance

Role

• Own the embedded electronics development, integration, testing, deployment and ongoing maintenance of an assigned product, working under the Embedded Team Lead.
• Each engineer will be responsible for maintaining technical ownership of one or more products throughout its development and post-deployment lifecycle.Role & responsibilities

Key Responsibilities

Product Development

• Develop and maintain embedded firmware for assigned products.
• Implement microcontroller/processor-based control of product subsystems.
• Support electronic architecture, component selection and schematic/PCB design reviews.
• Perform PCB bring-up, firmware integration and board-level debugging.
• Integrate sensors, motors, actuators, cameras, illumination, pumps, valves and other product-specific subsystems.
• Develop communication interfaces between embedded electronics, software and peripheral devices.
• Support prototype development and engineering builds.
• Participate in EVT, DVT, PVT and pilot-production activities.
• Support design optimization for manufacturability, reliability and serviceability.

Product Ownership & Maintenance

• Maintain technical ownership of assigned product electronics and firmware.
• Maintain released firmware versions, configuration files and engineering documentation.
• Investigate and resolve product issues identified during production or field deployment.
• Perform structured root-cause analysis for hardware and firmware failures.
• Implement approved firmware and hardware modifications.
• Support engineering change implementation and verification.
• Maintain product-specific test procedures and troubleshooting guidelines.
• Track recurring field issues and recommend design improvements.
• Support obsolescence management and alternate-component qualification.

Testing & Verification

• Develop and execute electronics and firmware test plans.
• Perform functional, integration, reliability and regression testing.
• Verify communication interfaces, sensors, actuators, power systems and embedded control logic.
• Document test results, observations and failure analysis.
• Support product verification and validation activities.
• Support EMI/EMC and electrical-safety pre-compliance testing.
• Ensure design changes are tested before production release.

Production & Deployment Support

• Support production during PCB testing, product assembly, integration and calibration.
• Develop or maintain production test procedures where required.
• Train production/service personnel on technical troubleshooting.
• Support installation and commissioning of products at deployment sites.
• Participate in clinical validation and field-testing activities.
• Diagnose and resolve hardware/firmware issues reported from the field.
• Provide technical feedback to improve subsequent product revisions.

Technical Expectations

• Microcontrollers and embedded processors.
• Embedded C/C++.
• UART, I2C, SPI, CAN, USB, RS-232/RS-485, and Ethernet.
• Analog and digital electronics.
• Basic schematic understanding and PCB design review.
• PCB bring-up and board-level debugging.
• Component selection and replacement qualification.
• Power supplies, DC-DC converters and protection circuits.
• Battery, charging and power-management fundamentals.
• Stepper motors, DC motors, servos, solenoids and actuator control.
• Sensors and closed-loop control.
• Pumps, valves and basic flow/pressure-control systems.
• Firmware debugging and hardware-software integration.
• Git/version control.
• Oscilloscopes, logic analysers, multimeters and standard electronics test equipment.
• Engineering documentation and structured troubleshooting.

Preferred

• Experience in biomedical instrumentation, medical devices, diagnostic equipment, laboratory automation or regulated products.
• Experience developing and maintaining a commercially deployed embedded product.
• Exposure to production engineering, product validation and field deployment.
• Experience troubleshooting electromechanical or fluidic automated systems.
• Prior client-facing exposure, including installation, commissioning, product demonstrations, troubleshooting, training and field support.
• Positive client references/testimonials relating to previously delivered engineering projects or products will be an added advantage.
