Senior Embedded Engineer

Senior Embedded Hardware Engineer - Austin, TX | Hybrid

I'm working with an Austin-based engineering company looking to add an experienced Embedded Hardware Engineer to a growing product development team.

This is a genuinely hands-on position for someone who can take ownership of embedded electronics from early architecture and component selection through schematic design, PCB layout, board bring-up, validation and production.

We're particularly interested in engineers who are comfortable working across the hardware/firmware boundary rather than operating exclusively on one side.

What you'll be working on:

• Design and development of custom embedded electronics.
• Component selection, schematic capture and multi-layer PCB layout.
• Hardware development from prototype through validation and production.
• Board bring-up, debugging and failure investigation.
• Low-power design and power-management strategies.
• BLE and other wireless connectivity technologies.
• Embedded C/C++ development and debugging on MCU-based platforms.
• Debugging complex issues across hardware and firmware.
• EMC/EMI, signal integrity and product reliability.
• Hands-on laboratory testing using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, DMMs and other bench equipment.
• Supporting future hardware architecture and new product development.

What we're hoping to find:

• Strong professional embedded hardware / electronics engineering experience.
• A track record of personally designing custom PCBs from schematic through layout and bring-up.
• Strong understanding of analog and digital electronics.
• Experience developing low-power embedded products.
• Experience with BLE or other wireless technologies.
• Working knowledge of Embedded C/C++ and MCU-based development.
• Experience with ARM Cortex-M or similar embedded platforms.
• Comfortable debugging both hardware and firmware.
• Experience taking physical products from prototype into production.
• Altium Designer experience would be particularly relevant.

Useful additional experience:

• RTOS or bare-metal firmware development.
• BSP / SDK development.
• Additional wireless communication technologies.
• IoT or connected-device development.
• Hardware designed for demanding real-world environments.
• Experience working within smaller or highly hands-on engineering teams.
