You’ll work on embedded firmware development in C, electronics troubleshooting, and test development across prototype systems and existing products in the field. This is a hands-on role that collaborates closely with electrical, firmware, software, and lab teams.

What You’ll Do

• Develop, debug, and maintain embedded C firmware for MCU-based systems (Microchip, NXP, STM32-class devices)
• Support product sustaining work: investigate issues, reproduce failures, implement fixes, and verify changes
• Bring-up and troubleshoot hardware using lab tools (DMM, oscilloscope, logic analyzer)
• Execute test plans, capture data, and clearly document results / root cause
• Write and maintain Python test scripts/tools (bench automation, data logging, analysis)
• Assist with test fixtures, work instructions, and repeatable lab processes
• (Optional/Bonus) Use Altium Designer to review schematics/PCB layouts or assist with small edits

What We’re Looking For (Minimum Qualifications)

• Comfortable working in a lab environment and learning hands-on debugging
• Able to communicate clearly and document work (notes, test results, change summaries)

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience with MCU peripherals and interfaces (I2C/SPI/UART/CAN)
• Familiarity with interrupts, timers, DMA, low-power modes, or memory-constrained development
• Exposure to RTOS concepts (tasks, queues, synchronization)
• Git/source control and basic dev workflow (branches, PRs)
• Altium exposure
• Instrument/automation tooling (serial, USB instruments, SCPI)

What You’ll Gain

• Real-world embedded development across new development + sustaining support
• Mentorship from a multidisciplinary engineering group
• Practical debugging skills across firmware + electronics
• Experience building test tools that improve development speed and product quality
