Senior Embedded Systems Engineer

Senior Embedded Systems Engineer
LOCATION - Atlanta, GA (Remote/Onsite)
ENGAGEMENT :Contract,1 year extendable
CONTRACT TYPE :W2 or C2C

ROLE OVERVIEW
Hands-on senior embedded engineering role spanning firmware, embedded Linux, high-speed interfaces, electronics integration,
test automation, and productization for robotics/automation systems.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
 Architect and develop embedded software across the full stack, from bare-metal/RTOS firmware on microcontrollers to embedded Linux on application processors, including BSPs, drivers, networking, and system services.
 Select, implement, and validate high-bandwidth digital interfaces such as MIPI CSI-2, PCIe, USB 3.x, and Gigabit Ethernet, as well as board-level buses including SPI, I2C, UART, and CAN.
 Interface with, control, and characterize lighting power electronics, including PWM/current control, strobe timing, sensor
synchronization, and bench measurement of performance.
 Evaluate technical feasibility and lead engineering trade-offs across performance, cost, power, and schedule.
 Collaborate across hardware, mechanical, test, and software teams to ensure solutions meet system requirements.
 Take concepts from prototype through detailed design, verification, and handover to production.
 Establish strong engineering practices including unit and hardware-in-the-loop testing, CI, code review, and design documentation.
 Develop IP through invention disclosures and patents and mentor engineers across the team.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
 4+ years of experience delivering embedded solutions in robotics, IoT, electronics, embedded systems, advanced sensing,
vision, or AI/physical AI.
 Strong proficiency in embedded C/C++, Python for tooling/test automation, and Git.
 Solid experience with embedded Linux and networking, including TCP/IP, Ethernet, and time synchronization such as PTP.
 Experience developing firmware for resource-constrained devices.
 Working knowledge of electronics, including schematic reading, board bring-up with EE partners, and power electronics basics
such as PWM, current regulation, and thermal limits.
 Hands-on lab skills with oscilloscopes, logic/protocol analyzers, and power measurement equipment, with awareness of signal-
integrity issues on high-speed interfaces.
 Experience writing unit tests and building automated or hardware-in-the-loop test setups.
 Proven ability to take solutions from concept to launch and deliver on schedule using Agile methods and project management
practices.
 Excellent communication skills and a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Computer
Engineering, Cybernetics/Robotics, Embedded Systems, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
 Deeper hardware experience: schematic capture and PCB layout (Altium/KiCad), LED drivers or power conversion circuits, and
EMC/EMI.
 Test engineering depth: test fixtures, HIL rigs, end-of-line/production test, DVT/PVT, reliability testing, and frameworks such as
pytest.
 Higher-level software exposure: edge/backend services, containers, MQTT, gRPC, ROS 2, OTA updates, secure boot, and
device security.
 Domain depth in camera/sensor pipelines, machine vision, edge AI inference (GStreamer/TensorRT), or radio-based sensors
such as RFID/NFC.
