Remote Embedded Controls Engineer information

What is the difference between Remote Embedded Controls Engineer vs Remote Firmware Engineer?

AspectRemote Embedded Controls EngineerRemote Firmware Engineer
CredentialsBachelor's in Electrical, Mechanical, or Computer Engineering; experience with embedded systemsBachelor's in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related; proficiency in embedded programming
Work EnvironmentDesigning and testing embedded control systems for machinery and automationDeveloping low-level firmware for devices and hardware components
Industry UsageManufacturing, robotics, industrial automationConsumer electronics, IoT devices, hardware startups

While both roles involve embedded systems, the Remote Embedded Controls Engineer focuses on designing and integrating control systems for machinery, whereas the Remote Firmware Engineer specializes in developing firmware that runs directly on hardware components. The roles often overlap but differ mainly in scope and application.

What are Remote Embedded Controls Engineers?

Remote Embedded Controls Engineers are professionals who design, develop, and maintain embedded control systems for various devices or machinery, while working from a remote location. They work with both hardware and software to ensure systems like automotive controls, industrial machines, or IoT devices function as intended. Their responsibilities include writing firmware, debugging control systems, integrating sensors and actuators, and ensuring real-time performance. Remote positions allow them to collaborate with teams and manage projects using online tools, making this role accessible from anywhere with an internet connection.

How do Remote Embedded Controls Engineers typically collaborate with cross-functional teams given the remote work setting?

Remote Embedded Controls Engineers regularly collaborate with hardware, software, and testing teams through virtual meetings, version control platforms, and collaborative documentation tools. Clear communication and proactive status updates are essential, as team members may be distributed across different time zones. Engineers often participate in code reviews, design discussions, and troubleshooting sessions via video calls or messaging platforms, ensuring alignment on project goals and integration timelines. While remote, they are still expected to contribute actively to problem-solving and continuous improvement initiatives.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Remote Embedded Controls Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Embedded Controls Engineer, you need expertise in embedded systems design, control theory, and proficiency with programming languages such as C/C++, along with a relevant engineering degree. Familiarity with microcontrollers, real-time operating systems (RTOS), hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation tools, and often certifications like Certified Embedded Systems Engineer (CESE) are highly valuable. Strong problem-solving abilities, self-motivation, and excellent remote communication skills distinguish top performers in this role. These skills are crucial for developing reliable embedded control solutions and collaborating effectively within distributed engineering teams.

Job description

The Opportunity:

SEL Engineering Services, Inc. (SEL-ES), part of the Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc. ("SEL") family of companies, seeks professional, innovative and detailed individuals for our Project Engineer - Automation position located at our Plymouth, Michigan field office.

If you are looking for an opportunity to work with industry experts while participating in developing cutting edge products, then this may be the position for you!

Project Engineer - Automation (Multiple Openings)

Responsibilities:

The Project Engineer -Automation is required to possess, understand, and apply the fundamental concepts, practices, and procedures of power system automation and related company products (involving software, integration and automation, industrial controls, PLCs, relevant industry protocols-such as IEC-61850, DNP, and Modbus-Ethernet systems, protocol analyzers, and industry SCADA practices). The incumbent will be expected to apply the principles of electrical engineering to: (1) train and assist customers with the creation, design, configuration, validation, installation, commissioning, and operation of automation systems; (2) complete and implement assigned work within agreed-upon scope, schedule, and budget to a high level of quality and safety; (3) participate in the preparation of functional design specifications; (4) prepare and maintain detailed design documents, reports, checklists, test reports, and deliverables; (5) provide support for other company marketing, sales, application engineering, and development activities; and (6) continuously identify, measure, and improve company engineering processes.

TRAVEL:

These full-time positions will be based out of the company's Plymouth field office located at 14500 North Sheldon Road, Suite 100, Plymouth, Michigan 48170. Because SEL-ES has numerous customers nationwide, some travel is required, as the incumbent will occasionally and on a short-term basis be deployed to various customer sites. Candidates must therefore be willing to travel to various unanticipated locations throughout the United States on an ongoing basis. However, the position requires regular on-site work at the Plymouth field office and does not permit remote work or work-from-home arrangements, notwithstanding any required business travel to customer sites.

To Apply:

We ask all candidates to apply through our website at www.selinc.com/careers
