Lead Embedded Hardware Engineer

Experience: 10+ years of professional experience in embedded hardware development for industrial drives, servo inverters, or comparable embedded electronic products.

Key Responsibilities:

• Analysis, specification, design, verification and maintenance of embedded electronics for servo and frequency inverters.
  • Schematic design of embedded circuits (MCU/SoC interfaces, power management, analog frontends, protection and monitoring).
  • Support PCB layout by defining constraints and design rules (SI/PI, EMC/EMI, highspeed interfaces) and performing layout reviews.
  • Hardware bringup and debugging on prototypes (powerup sequencing, clocks, resets, interfaces) in close collaboration with firmware.
  • Definition and execution of verification plans (electrical, functional, environmental) and support for EMC/EMI troubleshooting.
  • Component selection, derating, reliability considerations, and management of parts qualification for embedded electronics.
  • Collaboration with Manufacturing/EMS for product industrialization, test strategy and series rampup.
  • Documentation of design decisions, test results, and support during approvals/certifications (e.g., CE/UL) when required.

Skills Mandatory:

• Solid experience in embedded hardware design: schematics, component selection, and design reviews.
  • Strong knowledge of power supplies and power management (DC/DC, LDOs, sequencing, supervision, brownout behaviour).
  • Good understanding of analog and digital circuit design (ADC/DAC, opamps, filters, sensors, digital interfaces).
  • Experience with MCU/SoC hardware interfaces (SPI, IC, UART, CAN, Ethernet, PWM, ADC) and related signal integrity constraints.
  • Handson experience in lab debugging using oscilloscope, logic analyzer, multimeter, power analyzer, and soldering/rework basics.
  • Experience with PCB design flows and EDA tools (e.g., Altium Designer, Cadence, Mentor) and ability to perform layout reviews.
  • Understanding of EMC/EMI fundamentals and troubleshooting techniques in embedded systems.
  • Familiarity with structured development processes, documentation, and configuration/change management.

Skills Desirable:

• Experience with highspeed interfaces and Signal/Power Integrity (DDR, LVDS, highspeed serial, impedance control).
  • Experience with industrial drive electronics, functional safety considerations, and compliance constraints.
  • Basic firmware/embedded software understanding to support bringup and crossdebugging (e.g., JTAG/SWD, boot logs).
  • Experience with automated hardware test setups and scripting (Python/Lab tools) and CI concepts for HW verification.
  • Knowledge of DFM/DFT and collaboration with EMS/manufacturing for series production.
