Overview

A growing industrial technology organization is seeking a

senior-level engineer

to lead the design and development of embedded hardware platforms used in demanding environments. This role focuses on

digital circuit design, PCB development, and system-level integration

supporting next-generation control systems.

This is a

hands-on engineering role

with strong visibility across engineering and manufacturing teams.

Key Responsibilities

Hardware Design & Development
Design and develop

digital circuit architectures and PCB layouts

for embedded systems
Create and maintain schematics, board layouts, and design documentation
Select components and ensure alignment with performance, cost, and manufacturability
Embedded Systems Integration

Develop and support

microcontroller-based systems and digital interfaces

(SPI, I²C, UART)
Collaborate with firmware teams on system integration, timing, and functionality
Support board bring-up, debugging, and validation
Testing & Validation

Execute

functional, environmental, and compliance testing
Troubleshoot hardware issues and implement corrective actions
Ensure designs meet reliability and performance standards
Manufacturing & Production Support

Partner with manufacturing teams to resolve build and quality issues
Support product release, first article validation, and ongoing improvements
Drive

design for manufacturability (DFM)

and

design for test (DFT)
Documentation & Continuous Improvement

Develop detailed engineering documentation (BOMs, specs, test plans)
Maintain revision control and engineering change processes
Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives across design and production
Qualifications

Required:

Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Electronics, or Computer Engineering
10+ years of experience in

digital hardware design
Strong experience with

PCB design and schematic development tools (e.g., Altium)
Experience with

embedded systems and digital communication protocols
Preferred:

Experience with

FPGA/CPLD or HDL (VHDL/Verilog)
Familiarity with

analog and power electronics
Knowledge of

industry standards (IPC, UL, CSA)
Experience designing for

harsh or industrial environments
What Sets This Role Apart

High-impact engineering work on

complex, real-world systems
Strong collaboration across engineering and operations
Opportunity to influence

design standards and product direction
Stable, growth-oriented environment with strong technical leadership
Confidential Notes (For Your Internal Use Only - Do NOT Post)

Avoid mentioning:

"Top Place to Work"
"Free lunch / chef"
Company growth/expansion specifics

Keep industry description broad: "industrial technology organization"
Do not list company name or division
Keep language neutral to avoid internal recognition
If you want next step, I can also:

Create a

stealth LinkedIn posting version (even more vague)
Build a

Boolean / ZoomInfo string to match this rebranded title
Or align this with your

FPGA / LIDAR search strategy

so you actually get the right candidates this time
