What does an embedded electrical engineer do?

An Embedded Electrical Engineer designs, develops, and tests embedded systems, which are specialized computing systems that perform dedicated functions within larger electrical or mechanical systems. These engineers work with both hardware and software, integrating microcontrollers, sensors, and other electronic components to create efficient and reliable products. They are often involved in industries like automotive, consumer electronics, medical devices, and industrial automation. Their responsibilities typically include circuit design, firmware programming, prototyping, and troubleshooting. Collaboration with cross-functional teams to meet project requirements is also a key part of the role.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an embedded electrical engineer?

To thrive as an Embedded Electrical Engineer, you need a strong background in circuit design, embedded systems, and programming languages like C/C++, typically supported by a degree in electrical or computer engineering. Familiarity with tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, PCB design software, and real-time operating systems (RTOS) is crucial, and certifications like IPC or ARM may be advantageous. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective communication are valuable soft skills in this role. These skills ensure reliable product development, seamless multidisciplinary teamwork, and the ability to address complex technical challenges in embedded systems.

How do embedded electrical engineers typically collaborate with software developers during a project?

Embedded Electrical Engineers frequently work closely with software developers to ensure that the hardware and software components of embedded systems integrate seamlessly. This collaboration often involves joint troubleshooting sessions, design reviews, and integration testing to identify and resolve compatibility issues early in the development process. Good communication and documentation skills are essential, as engineers must clearly convey hardware constraints and requirements while understanding the needs and limitations of the software side. Regular meetings and cross-functional teamwork are common, making the ability to work effectively in interdisciplinary teams a key part of the role.

What is the difference between Embedded Electrical Engineer vs Electrical Design Engineer?

AspectEmbedded Electrical EngineerElectrical Design Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's in Electrical Engineering, knowledge of embedded systems, microcontrollersBachelor's or higher in Electrical Engineering, focus on circuit design and power systems
Work EnvironmentHardware development labs, embedded system projectsDesign offices, project planning, and testing environments
Industry UsageConsumer electronics, automotive, aerospace, IoT devicesPower distribution, industrial automation, building systems

Embedded Electrical Engineers focus on developing and programming embedded systems and hardware for specific applications, often working with microcontrollers and real-time operating systems. Electrical Design Engineers primarily design electrical circuits and systems for broader applications like power and industrial systems. While both roles require electrical engineering knowledge, Embedded Electrical Engineers specialize in embedded hardware and firmware, whereas Electrical Design Engineers focus on circuit design and system integration.

Job description

Lexington Medical, Inc. is hiring an Electrical/Embedded Software Engineering Intern for Summer 2027 at our headquarters in Bedford, MA. You will join our R&D team and gain hands-on experience developing the embedded hardware and software behind our AEON™ surgical stapling platform. Depending on your background and project needs, your work may span electrical design, embedded firmware, PCB development, hardware bring-up, testing, debugging, and hardware-software integration.
About Lexington Medical
Lexington Medical, Inc. is a medical device company designing and manufacturing surgical stapling technology at our headquarters in Bedford, Massachusetts, just outside Boston. Our AEON™ Endostapler is an FDA-cleared, minimally invasive surgical stapler used in operating rooms around the world.
With electrical, software, mechanical, manufacturing, and quality teams working closely together under one roof, interns stay close to the product and see how engineering concepts move through development, prototyping, testing, verification, manufacturing, and ultimately into the operating room.
About the Internship
As an Electrical/ Embedded Software Engineering Intern at Lexington Medical, you will work alongside our R&D engineers developing embedded systems for electromechanical surgical devices. You will contribute to real engineering projects involving the interaction between electronics, embedded firmware, motors, sensors, and physical mechanisms.
Depending on your experience and interests, you may work more heavily on electrical hardware, embedded software, or projects that cross both areas. This could include designing and testing circuits, supporting PCB development, writing and debugging embedded code, bringing up new hardware, integrating sensors and motors, or troubleshooting complete electromechanical systems.
This is a good fit for a student who likes understanding how hardware and software work together and wants to build, test, debug, and improve real products rather than work only in simulation or theory.
Responsibilities:
  • Support the development and testing of embedded electrical and software systems.
  • Develop, test, and debug embedded firmware using C/C++.
  • Assist with schematic capture, PCB design, and component selection.
  • Support hardware bring-up, bench testing, and system-level debugging.
  • Work with microcontrollers, sensors, motors, actuators, and other electromechanical components.
  • Use electrical test equipment to troubleshoot hardware and firmware.
  • Collaborate with electrical, software, mechanical, and manufacturing engineers.
  • Support engineering testing, verification, and technical documentation.

Qualifications:
  • Currently pursuing a B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, or a related technical field.
  • Coursework or project experience with embedded systems, electronics, microcontrollers, PCB design, firmware, or robotics.
  • Experience programming in C or C++.
  • Hands-on experience building, testing, or debugging hardware or embedded systems.
  • Prior internship, co-op, research, or substantial hands-on project experience preferred.
  • Strong problem-solving, communication, and attention to detail.

What Success Looks Like
  • By the middle of the summer, you can contribute to day-to-day electrical and embedded software engineering work with increasing independence and understand how hardware, firmware, and electromechanical systems work together.
  • By the end of the internship, you have completed a meaningful electrical, embedded software, or hardware-software integration project that the engineering team can continue using after you leave.
  • You leave with concrete examples of hardware or firmware you developed, technical problems you solved, and engineering decisions you made on a real medical device.

Program Details
  • Timing: June 2027 through August 2027, approximately three months.
  • Schedule: Full-time, five days per week on-site in Bedford, Massachusetts.

Location & Work Arrangement
This internship is based at our headquarters in Bedford, Massachusetts, in the Greater Boston area, and is fully on-site five days per week.
