Position Overview/Job Description :

We are seeking an experienced Embedded Technology Lead to oversee the design, development, and delivery of embedded solutions across firmware, hardware, and testing domains. This role involves leading end-to-end embedded product development, ensuring compliance with CE marking and other international standards. The ideal candidate will combine hands-on technical expertise with leadership skills to guide cross-functional teams in building reliable, innovative, and compliant embedded systems.

Key Responsibilities :

- Lead the end-to-end development lifecycle for embedded products, including requirements gathering, architecture design, firmware development, hardware design, testing, and validation.

- Define and design embedded system architectures, including microcontrollers, embedded Linux/RTOS platforms, and custom electronics.

- Drive and review firmware development in C/C++ (or equivalent), ensuring code quality, modularity, and maintainability.

- Lead hardware development and PCB design reviews, ensuring integration with embedded firmware components as well as EMS management.

- Lead testing and validation strategies including test plans & test management, integration testing, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), environmental and compliance testing.

- Oversee regulatory compliance and CE marking, ensuring products meet European directives and other relevant global standards (e.g., EMC, LVD, RoHS, CRA).

- Partner with product management and stakeholders to translate customer requirements into robust embedded solutions.

- Mentor and guide embedded engineers, fostering a culture of continuous learning, reviews, and best practices in coding and electronics design.

- Collaborate with QA, certification labs, and manufacturing teams to ensure production readiness and compliance documentation (DoC, Technical Files).

- Identify emerging embedded technologies and drive innovation and adoption to maintain a competitive edge.

Required Qualifications :

- Masters/PhD degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent.

- 15+ years of professional experience in embedded systems development with at least 3 years in a technical leadership role.

- Proven expertise in firmware development using C/C++ (RTOS, bare-metal, or embedded Linux).

- Strong background in hardware design and development, including microcontrollers, sensors, communication interfaces (UART, CAN, SPI, I2C, Ethernet, BLE, etc.), and EMS management.

- Deep understanding of testing methodologies for embedded systems (test plans, debugging, test automation, system validation, EMC/IP pre-compliance).

- Hands-on experience with CE marking processes, risk assessments, technical documentation, and regulatory compliance (EMC, LVD, RoHS, RED, CRA as applicable).

- Familiarity with tools: oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG debuggers, PCB design/review software (Altium Designer,), and lab test setups.

- Strong problem-solving mindset and proven ability to lead cross-functional engineering teams.

- Knowledge of Agile development and working in collaborative DevOps environments.

Preferred Qualifications :

- Experience with IoT products and secure communication protocols (MQTT, TLS, etc.).

- Experience managing third-party labs and certification houses for compliance testing.

Key Skills :

- Embedded Firmware Development (C, C++, RTOS, Linux)

- Hardware Design & PCB review

- Testing & Validation (unit, integration, EMC, regulatory)

- CE Marking & Compliance (Technical files, EMC, LVD, etc.)

- Leadership & Team Mentorship

- System Architecture & Integration
