• Stay current with industry trends, technologies, and best practices.  

• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to technical leadership within the team. 

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.  

• 5+ years of experience in embedded systems design and development.   

• Experience with microcontrollers (ARM Cortex, STM32, PIC, etc.)  

• Strong understanding of digital and analog circuit design.  

• Hands-on experience with PCB design tools (e.g., Altium Designer, KiCAD, Eagle).  

• Familiarity with communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, Ethernet).  

• Experience with debugging tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG.  

• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills. 

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in designing and testing for EMC. 

• Experience with wireless technologies (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cell, Zigbee).  

• Knowledge of safety-critical systems and compliance standards (e.g., ISO, IEC).  

• Familiarity with FPGA design and VHDL/Verilog.  

• Experience in product lifecycle from concept to production.
