Position Overview

We are seeking a Full Stack Hardware Engineer who can work across the complete hardware-software stack — from circuit design and PCB layout to embedded firmware, bootloaders, and Linux-based BSP development. The ideal candidate combines strong analog/digital hardware design skills with hands-on embedded software expertise in U-Boot, Zephyr RTOS, firmware development, and Embedded Linux/Yocto.

Key Responsibilities

Hardware Design & Development

- Design and develop analog and digital circuits for embedded systems and custom hardware platforms
- Perform component selection and schematic capture using Altium Designer or KiCAD
- Conduct circuit simulation and validation using LTSpice or equivalent tools
- Collaborate on PCB layout for signal integrity, EMI/EMC compliance, and thermal management

Embedded Software & Firmware
- Develop and port firmware for microcontrollers and SoCs (ARM Cortex-M/A, RISC-V)
- Work with U-Boot bootloader — porting, board bring-up, and customization for current hardware
- Develop on Zephyr RTOS — driver development, board support, and application layer
- Build and maintain Embedded Linux BSPs using Yocto Project (recipes, layers, kernel/device tree configuration)
- Write low-level drivers and communication stacks (I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, Ethernet)

Bring-Up, Testing & Debugging
- Lead board bring-up: power sequencing, clock/reset validation, peripheral enablement
- Debug hardware and software issues using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG/SWD debuggers




- Validate firmware and driver behavior against hardware specifications

Documentation & Collaboration
- Maintain documentation for schematics, firmware architecture, build systems, and test reports
- Work closely with software, mechanical, and systems teams for end-to-end product integration

Requirements

Required Skills

- Proficiency in Altium Designer or KiCAD; LTSpice for simulation
- Strong grasp of analog/digital circuit design, power supply design, mixed-signal interfaces
- Hands-on experience with U-Boot, Zephyr RTOS, and firmware development in C/C++
- Working knowledge of Embedded Linux and Yocto Project (BSP layers, recipes, kernel config)
- Experience with communication protocols: I2C, SPI, UART, CAN
- Hardware debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters
- Comfortable working across the full stack — schematic to bootloader to Linux userspace

Nice to Have
- High-speed PCB design experience
- Device tree customization and Linux kernel driver development
- Experience with RTOS-to-Linux dual-stack systems
- Contributions to open-source embedded/hardware projects
- Familiarity with CI/CD for embedded builds (GitLab CI, Yocto automated builds)

Benefits

Benefits

- Work on cutting-edge embedded hardware + software platforms end-to-end
- Collaborative, cross-functional engineering workplace
- Continuous learning across hardware and embedded software domains
- Flexible work arrangements and competitive compensation
