About the role

Bay Area, CA or Seattle, WAOverviewWe are seeking a hands-on Sr Embedded Hardware Engineer to lead the design and development of embedded electronic systems from concept through production. This role is focused on hardware ownership, including schematic design, PCB layout, and system bring-up, with supporting firmware development. This is not a firmware-only role. Candidates should have strong experience designing and building physical hardware.
Responsibilities:
  • Design and develop embedded electronic systems from concept through production
  • Create schematics and perform multi-layer PCB layout
  • Develop analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits (sensor interfaces, power systems, high-speed signals)
  • Own ECAD design work using tools such as Altium, Cadence, or OrCADPerform board bring-up, debugging, and validation using lab equipment (oscilloscope, logic analyzer, etc.)Develop embedded firmware in C/C++ for microcontrollers (ARM Cortex-M or similar)
  • Design power systems, including battery management and regulation
  • Collaborate with mechanical teams on PCB/FPC integration and constraints
  • Ensure designs meet DFM/DFR, signal integrity, and EMI/EMC requirements
  • Work with manufacturing partners to transition designs from prototype to production
Required Qualifications:

  • Embedded firmware development in C/C++ (RTOS, ARM platforms)
  • Experience with sensor systems, IoT devices, or consumer electronics
  • Python for test automation or validation
What Success Looks Like:
  • You have designed and shipped embedded hardware products
  • You are comfortable owning the full hardware lifecycle
  • You can move between circuit design, board layout, and firmware integration
  • You are experienced working hands-on with lab hardware and debugging tools
