Arbetsbeskrivning

Job Description:

We are looking for a hands-on Embedded Systems Engineer to join our startup developing next-generation battery-free IoT devices. Our platform combines ultra-low-power embedded systems, solar energy harvesting, sensing, and wireless backscatter communication to enable maintenance-free connected devices.

As part of the engineering team, you will work across firmware, hardware, and software development, from programming microcontrollers and interfacing with sensors to debugging PCBs and developing software for decoding backscatter signals. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working close to the hardware while also writing robust software tools.

Key Responsibilities

• Debug and optimize embedded firmware, for low-power microcontroller-based IoT devices, using professional tools such as SEGGER J-Link, GDB, SWD/JTAG interfaces, and integrated development environments (IDEs).
• Interface with sensors and peripherals using protocols such as I2C, SPI, UART, ADC, timers, GPIO, and interrupts.
• Develop Python tools for data acquisition, signal processing, testing, and automation.
• Assist with PCB design, schematic review, and hardware bring-up using KiCad.
• Debug embedded hardware and firmware issues using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, debuggers, and other laboratory equipment.
• Contribute to FPGA development and hardware acceleration using Vivado.
• Document designs, test procedures, and development workflows.

Required Qualifications

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, or a related field.
• Experience programming microcontrollers in C/C++ for embedded applications.
• Strong understanding of MCU peripherals, including GPIO, timers, ADC, UART, SPI, I2C, PWM, and interrupt handling.
• Familiarity with SWD/JTAG debugging, breakpoints, watchpoints, register inspection, and fault analysis.
• Experience using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and serial debugging tools to troubleshoot embedded systems.
• Proficiency in Python for scripting, data analysis, or test automation.
• Basic experience with PCB design or modification using KiCad or similar EDA tools.
• Experience with FPGA development and Xilinx Vivado.
