• Architect and design scalable system architectures and PCBAs involving mixed signal industrial I/O and communications.
• Develop and ship robust firmware using Embedded C/C++, RTOS, and Embedded Linux (Yocto) for fleet wide deployment.
• Integrate end products with production tools, factory acceptance rigs, and fleet management systems to ensure seamless industrial scaling.

The ideal candidate

• Expert in PCB design (Altium/KiCAD) and firmware development using Embedded C/C++ and RTOS environments.
• Experienced with Embedded Linux, Yocto Project, and industrial communication protocols like Modbus, CAN bus, and OPC UA.
• Hands on engineer familiar with functional safety standards (IEC 61508) and designing for manufacturing and test (DfMA/DfT).
