Hardware Embedded Engineer

Raydar is recruiting on behalf of its client, a hardware technology company, for a Hardware Embedded Engineer. The role builds and tests electronic devices and embedded systems, fulfills pilot deployments, improves fielded products, and contributes to new prototypes and product direction.

What you'll do:

• Handle electronics work from circuit drawings and board layout through hands-on build and testing at the bench
• Build and ship a batch of existing devices quickly to satisfy committed pilot deployments
• Connect a range of sensing components to the boards, and manage power supply, connectors and housing fit
• Write firmware and develop embedded systems on common microcontroller and single-board computer platforms
• Refine devices already in the field using user feedback, and create additional sensors that work with the current system
• Over time, take new prototypes from first concept to working firmware and contribute ideas on product direction

What they're looking for:

• Solid skills in PCB layout and schematic design
• Practical experience integrating sensors into electronic designs
• Background in embedded systems, microcontrollers and firmware
• Comfort with soldering, wiring, assembly and bench testing
• Understanding of power regulation, connectors and mechanical enclosures
• Ability to take a product from nothing to working hardware and firmware
• Complete ownership of personal projects, rather than only contributions to group efforts
• Eligibility to work on government-related projects
• Early-career or student status preferred, paired with substantial practical hardware experience gained through any route, including self-taught or freelance work
• Exposure to rugged or demanding-environment products, such as industrial, robotic, vehicle or similar devices

Benefits:

• Equity
