Emi Design Engineer Jobs in Worcester, MA (NOW HIRING)

Boston Engineering is a technology-driven consulting firm that provides innovative engineering solutions to commercial and government clients. Headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts, Boston Engineering specializes in product development, systems engineering, and technology commercialization, leveraging deep expertise in robotics, digital solutions, medical devices, diagnostic equipment, defense systems, and industrial automation. 
The company integrates advanced technologies with practical engineering execution, delivering end-to-end services from concept through commercialization. Boston Engineering combines technical rigor, cross-disciplinary teams, and proven processes to accelerate product development and to solve complex challenges. The company is ISO-certified and CMMC-certified, with a commitment to operational excellence, innovation, and measurable client outcomes. Its mission is to improve the way people work and live through innovative product development and novel engineering. 

Boston Engineering seeks a Senior Electrical Engineer with strong experience in embedded systems hardware design, advanced motor control, and FPGA development. This role is hands-on and design-focused, responsible for architecting and delivering robust embedded and control solutions across a wide range of client products and mission-critical systems. 

The ideal candidate brings depth in PCB design for embedded systems, field-oriented motor control (FOC), and FPGA development using Verilog, and is comfortable owning designs from concept through prototype, test, and production. You will work closely with mechanical, software, and systems engineers to develop integrated product solutions in a fast-paced consulting environment. 

This role is restricted to US persons (i.e., US citizens, permanent residents, and other protected individuals under the Immigration and Naturalization Act, 8 USC 1324b(a)(3)) due to access to export-controlled technology. Boston Engineering will require proof of status prior to employment. 

Your Key Responsibilities 

• Designing and developing embedded electronic hardware, including mixed-signal PCB design for control, sensing, and power electronics 
• Architecting and implementing advanced control systems, including motor control algorithms such as FOC, PID control, feedback loops, and real-time sensor integration 
• Designing motor drive electronics, power stages, gate drive circuitry, and current/position sensing for BLDC, PMSM, and related motor types 
• Developing and debugging FPGA-based designs using Verilog, including interfaces, timing-critical logic, and hardware acceleration where appropriate 
• Collaborating with firmware, FPGA, mechanical, and systems teams to integrate embedded electronics into larger product architectures 
• Performing system-level bring-up, testing, debugging, and optimization of embedded hardware, control systems, and FPGA designs 
• Working with embedded communication interfaces and protocols, including I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, and other industry-standard buses 
• Developing and validating control algorithms through analysis, simulation, and hardware testing 
• Producing clear and thorough technical documentation, including requirements, schematics, design reviews, test plans, and verification reports 
• Ensuring designs meet applicable safety, EMC, regulatory, and quality requirements throughout the product development lifecycle.

Your Experience

• Minimum of seven plus years of professional experience in embedded electrical engineering, preferably in a product development or consulting environment 
• Strong experience with PCB design for embedded systems, including schematic capture, layout oversight, component selection, and design for manufacturability 
• Demonstrated experience designing and implementing motor control systems, including field-oriented control (FOC) 
• Experience developing FPGA designs in Verilog, including simulation, synthesis, and hardware debug 
• Proficiency in embedded C/C++ for microcontrollers and processors supporting real-time control and hardware interaction 
• Experience with hardware/software/FPGA integration and debugging at the system level 
• Familiarity with RTOS concepts and real-time embedded system constraints 
• Strong understanding of power electronics, signal integrity, grounding, and EMI/EMC considerations 

Preferred Skill Set

• Experience with robotics, electromechanical systems, or motion control applications 
• Familiarity with MATLAB/Simulink for control modeling and algorithm development 
• Experience with wireless communication technologies (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc.) 
• Knowledge of functional safety or industry standards (e.g., IEC 61508 or related) 
• Experience supporting products through verification, validation, and transition to manufacturing 

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related field (Master's degree preferred) 
• Proven ability to lead technical efforts, mentor junior engineers, and contribute to design reviews and system architecture decisions 
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, with a hands-on, problem-solving mindset 
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including client-facing technical discussions 
• Familiarity with modern development tools, debuggers, version control systems (e.g., Git), and documentation practices 
• Strong understanding of power electronics, signal integrity, grounding, and EMI/EMC considerations 

This role is restricted to US persons (i.e., US citizens, permanent residents, and other protected individuals under the Immigration and Naturalization Act, 8 USC 1324b(a)(3)) due to access to export-controlled technology. Boston Engineering will require proof of status prior to employment.
