About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Electronics & Embedded Software Engineer to design, develop, and maintain advanced embedded systems for a jet engine Blade Inspection Tool (BIT) product suite. This role combines embedded firmware development, electronics/PCB design, and hands‑on prototyping, with a strong focus on custom camera modules and LED strobing systems. You will work on both a matured legacy product and a new hardware platform, collaborating with internal teams and external camera vendors to deliver reliable and production‑ready solutions.

Key Responsibilities

Embedded Software & Firmware Development

  • Develop, test, and debug embedded firmware in C/C++ for microcontrollers, including bootloaders.
  • Implement and maintain device drivers for peripherals such as I2C, SPI, UART, USB, ADC, PWM, and others as required.
  • Implement serial communication protocols for interfacing with embedded boards and host systems.

Electronics & PCB Design

  • Design schematics for small embedded systems, custom camera interfaces, and development boards.
  • Perform PCB layout, including component placement and routing, with a focus on miniaturized boards.
  • Design and review LED driver circuitry and associated control electronics for pulsed/strobing operation.
  • Work with high‑speed interfaces such as USB2.0 & USB3.0 in PCB layouts.

Prototyping, Testing & Debugging

  • Assemble and test electronic prototypes and development boards.
  • Perform hand soldering and rework of SMD components, including fine‑pitch and miniaturized PCBs.
  • Use lab equipment (oscilloscope, logic analyser, power supplies, etc.) to debug hardware and firmware issues.
  • Build simple development and test boards to support ongoing R&D and validation activities.
  • Support QA, validation, and verification of prototype cameras and embedded systems.

Documentation, Collaboration & Delivery

  • Maintain clear, traceable documentation including schematics, PCB revisions, firmware versions, and test reports.
  • Collaborate closely with mechanical engineers, manufacturing partners, and external vendors to ensure robust, manufacturable designs.
  • Support the transition from prototype to small‑scale and volume production, including design‑for‑manufacture (DFM) and design‑for‑test (DFT) considerations.
  • Participate in design reviews and provide technical input on requirements, specifications, and architecture.
