About the Role:

We are looking for a seasoned professional to lead our Electronics Department, bringing expertise in embedded firmware development along with a solid understanding of hardware electronics development. You will manage and guide both firmware and hardware teams, collaborating closely with clients to understand requirements, break them into executable tasks, and allocate responsibilities. This position requires hands-on experience in firmware development and the ability to contribute to hardware development at a basic to intermediate level. You will also identify and address resource or expertise gaps within the team to ensure seamless project execution.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and test embedded software for IoT devices using microcontrollers like STM32, ESP32, etc.
• Implement wireless communication protocols like BLE, LoRa, Wi-Fi, and 4G LTE for data acquisition and transmission.
• Implement communication protocols like SPI, I2C, UART, RS485, RS232, CAN, etc.
• Oversee and manage the entire Electronics Department, including firmware and hardware teams.
• Understand project requirements from clients, break them down into firmware and hardware tasks, and allocate responsibilities accordingly.
• Evaluate the time and cost required for tasks in firmware and hardware domains.
• Device driver development for various sensors and modules.
• Contribute to various stages of the firmware development lifecycle, including requirements analysis, design, coding, testing, and debugging.
• Write clean, efficient, and well-documented code adhering to best practices.
• Collaborate effectively with engineers from various disciplines (hardware, software, etc.).
• Proactively identify and propose solutions to technical challenges.
• Contribute hands-on to hardware development at a basic to intermediate level, including schematic design, PCB design review, and hardware debugging.
• Identify specialized expertise or resources required for tasks beyond personal hardware capabilities.
• Document design decisions and development progress effectively.
• Ensure collaboration and integration between firmware and hardware for cohesive project delivery.
• Support the team with functional prototypes.
• Documentation, specification, and quality audits (advice) with external partners.
• Design and verification of simulated signal processing systems with hardware (mainly FPGA/VHDL).
• Commissioning and tests of control systems.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics Engineering or a related field.
• 5–10 years of experience in embedded firmware development, with additional experience or exposure in hardware development.
• Proficient in C/C++ programming for embedded systems.
• Experience with wireless communication protocols like BLE, LoRa, WiFi, and 4G LTE.
• Experience with communication protocols like UART, I2C, SPI, RS485, RS232, and CAN.
• Hands-on experience in basic to intermediate-level hardware tasks, including schematic design, PCB design review, and hardware debugging.
• Ability to assess project requirements, break down tasks, and manage teams across firmware and hardware domains.
• Experience in estimating time and cost for tasks in both firmware and hardware.
• Technical project management skills and experience in communication with external service providers.
• Effective communication and teamwork abilities.
• Ability to work independently and take initiative.
• Passion for learning and exploring new technologies.
• Willingness to travel on an occasional basis.
