Principal Electrical Engineer

Overview
This is a hands-on, senior-level engineering role working within a multidisciplinary team developing precision sensing and instrumentation products used in advanced industrial, semiconductor, and medical applications. The position focuses on driving next-generation product development, improving performance of existing systems, and defining long-term technology roadmaps-particularly through advanced embedded electronics and microprocessor-based architectures.

Key Responsibilities
Design and develop embedded electronic systems centered on microprocessor and microcontroller platforms for high-precision sensing applications
Architect and implement low-noise analog and mixed-signal circuitry integrated with embedded processing solutions
Lead the development and release of new products, with full ownership of electronics design from concept through production
Evaluate product performance limitations and define system-level improvements through both hardware and embedded firmware enhancements
Troubleshoot complex system issues down to root cause, spanning electronics, embedded systems, and sensor behavior
Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including firmware, mechanical, and manufacturing engineering to drive product success
Contribute to technology roadmaps by introducing new embedded processing approaches, architectures, and design methodologies

Required Experience & Skills
Extensive experience designing embedded systems using microprocessors and/or microcontrollers, including system architecture, interfacing, and bring-up
Strong background in low-noise electronics, precision analog design, and sensor integration
Proven ability to develop and support complex, multidisciplinary products in a production environment
Experience debugging and optimizing embedded systems, including hardware/software interaction and system-level troubleshooting
Hands-on engineering capability, including test development, lab setup, and validation of embedded electronic systems
Working knowledge of manufacturing processes, including documentation control, BOM structures, and engineering change (ECO) processes
Ability to operate independently, drive technical decisions, and contribute as a lead member of cross-functional teams

Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field (advanced degree preferred)
10+ years of experience in electrical engineering, with a strong emphasis on embedded microprocessor-based system design

Preferred Background
Experience with precision sensors, instrumentation systems, or vacuum-based technologies
Familiarity with semiconductor capital equipment or highly regulated industrial environments
Exposure to firmware development or close collaboration with embedded software teams
