Job description

Job Description:
Embedded Systems Engineer | Muskegon, MI
Salary Range: $83,000 - $128,000 depending on experience
Are you a seasoned professional with a passion for excelling in embedded systems engineer? The Pivot Group Network, a West Michigan manufacturing-focused recruiting group, is committed to fostering meaningful relationships and supporting community growth. We are collaborating with leading companies in Muskegon seeking Embedded Systems Engineers to lead and enhance their operations.
We are building our network of talent in this field across West Michigan and the broader manufacturing region Pivot Group Network serves. Our partner companies may or may not have an immediate opening for this exact role today, but we actively look for skilled professionals in the regions where they operate. If there is alignment now or in the near future, we reach out.
The Opportunity
We partner with manufacturers across Muskegon seeking Embedded Systems Engineers who want more than a lateral move. These companies hire intentionally, and we connect them with professionals ready for roles that fit.
Key Responsibilities
  • Design and develop embedded firmware for manufacturing equipment.
  • Troubleshoot and debug complex hardware/software issues on production lines.
  • Implement and optimize communication protocols for industrial control systems.
  • Collaborate with mechanical and electrical engineers to integrate embedded solutions into new products.
  • Perform root cause analysis and implement corrective actions for field failures.
  • Develop and execute test plans for new and existing embedded systems.
  • Maintain and update existing firmware to address obsolescence or performance improvements.
Recommended Qualifications
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • 3+ years of experience in embedded software development for manufacturing or industrial control systems.
  • Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems, with experience in real-time operating systems (RTOS) like FreeRTOS or Zephyr.
  • Experience with microcontroller architectures (e.g., ARM Cortex-M, PIC) and peripherals (e.g., I2C, SPI, UART, ADC, DAC).
  • Familiarity with industrial communication protocols such as Modbus, EtherCAT, PROFINET, or CAN.
  • Demonstrated ability to debug hardware and software issues using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and in-circuit debuggers.
Bonus Qualifications
  • Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS) beyond basic implementations.
  • Familiarity with industrial communication protocols (e.g., EtherCAT, PROFINET, Modbus).
  • Demonstrated ability to debug complex hardware/software interactions in a production environment.
  • Proficiency in scripting languages (e.g., Python) for test automation or data analysis.

Job Titles That Should Apply
Embedded Software Engineer, Firmware Engineer, Hardware-Software Integration Engineer, IoT Engineer, Real-Time Embedded Engineer, Systems Design Engineer, Embedded Hardware Engineer, Robotics Engineer, Control Systems Engineer, ASIC Design Engineer, FPGA Design Engineer, DSP Engineer, Automotive Embedded Engineer, Aerospace Embedded Engineer, Medical Device Embedded Engineer, Principal Embedded Engineer, Senior Embedded Engineer, Junior Embedded Engineer, Staff Embedded Engineer, Lead Embedded Engineer
