Job description

Please, no third parties. Permanent residents only.
This is primarily an onsite position in Durham, NC, and no relocation assistance is available.
Main Duties & Responsibilities:
- Design and deliver embedded electronic hardware used within industrial sensor platforms, supporting the full lifecycle from early concept development through production readiness.
- Create and maintain detailed schematics, select appropriate components, and develop PCB layouts for compact embedded boards while accounting for signal integrity, power efficiency, and manufacturing feasibility.
- Engineer and validate designs utilizing embedded processors such as the ESP32 family, along with supporting components including ADCs, power regulation circuits, battery management systems, and peripheral interfaces.
- Build prototypes and perform validation testing using laboratory instrumentation, in-system diagnostics, and iterative debugging techniques.
- Work closely with firmware developers to integrate hardware with multiple firmware branches, enabling new features and diagnosing system-level behavior.
- Develop targeted firmware utilities for diagnostics and validation such as logging hooks, input validation routines, and test utilities to accelerate hardware bring-up and troubleshooting.
- Partner with internal test, manufacturing, and field teams to refine product designs based on operational data, reliability findings, and customer deployment feedback.
- Assist with production readiness and ongoing sustaining engineering activities as devices transition into higher-volume manufacturing.
- Contribute to continuous improvements of deployed hardware through structured troubleshooting and root-cause analysis.
Skills & Requirements:
- Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field is highly preferred.
- Hands-on experience designing embedded electronics built around ESP32-class microcontrollers or comparable embedded processors.
- Practical background in power system design, including battery-powered electronics, charging circuits, and power management architectures.
- Experience producing PCB schematics and layouts for dense, small-footprint circuit boards.
- Solid understanding of mixed-signal electronics, including analog-to-digital conversion and signal conditioning techniques.
- Familiarity with board-level communication interfaces and serial protocols such as SPI, I C, UART, and CAN.
- Ability to troubleshoot hardware/firmware interaction issues using tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and embedded diagnostic code.
- Strong analytical thinking and structured debugging approach when addressing complex system issues.
- Effective communicator who can collaborate across firmware, hardware, testing, and manufacturing disciplines.
- Detail-oriented with a focus on building reliable, production-ready electronics.
Preferred Skills:
- Experience supporting hardware products through manufacturing ramp and field deployment.
- Exposure to industrial sensor platforms or ruggedized embedded systems used in demanding environments.
- Experience writing or contributing to embedded firmware, particularly for diagnostic or validation purposes.
- Familiarity with additional or custom microcontroller architectures beyond ESP32.
- Awareness of EMI/EMC considerations when designing electronics intended for industrial environments.
