We are looking for a highly skilled Embedded Systems & Integration Engineer to join our growing Hardware Team at Seedsight. With our first-generation prototype already designed and mechanically assembled, we are moving into a high-intensity phase of functional validation and firmware refinement. Working under the guidance of our Hardware Lead, you will be a key contributor to the technical "bring-up" of our optoelectronic systems. This is a role for an engineer who thrives on the bench, someone who enjoys the interplay between low-level code and physical circuitry, and who can systematically hunt down bugs in a complex, multi-disciplinary environment.

As an Embedded Systems & Prototyping Engineer, your role will include the following responsibilities:

• Prototype Bring-up: Collaborate with the Hardware Lead to initialize and validate the assembled V1 prototype, ensuring seamless integration and communication across all subsystems (power management, communication protocols, and sensors);
  

• Firmware Development & Hardware Integration: Design, develop, and optimize firmware for microcontrollers and embedded components within custom PCB assemblies;
  

• Signal Processing Pipelines: Architect and implement high-efficiency data acquisition and signal processing pipelines to translate raw data from optical fiber sensors into precise measurements;
  

• System Validation & Debugging: Perform rigorous hardware-software integration testing, using debugging tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, etc.) to ensure seamless communication between firmware and electronic components;
  

• Optoelectronic System Control: Develop software interfaces to automate and control advanced optical equipment (e.g., spectrometers, tunable lasers, and light sources);
  

• R&D Innovation: Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to prototype next-generation sensing solutions, bridging the gap between optical physics and functional embedded systems;
  

• Technical Documentation: Maintain and update Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for firmware architectures, system calibration protocols, and technical specifications;
  

• Data Analysis & Optimization: Analyze measurement outputs and system performance to refine algorithms and support continuous product innovation.
  

Requirements

What you will need:

• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics Engineering, or a closely related field;
  

• 1-3 years of Experience: professional experience in embedded systems development and working with electronic measurement systems, specifically focusing on hardware-software integration and testing;
  

• Domain Expertise: Proven experience in interfacing with sensors and controlling electronic hardware. Familiarity with optical technologies or optoelectronics is highly valued;
  

• Analytical Mindset: Strong problem-solving skills focused on identifying and resolving bottlenecks in hardware-software interoperability;
  

• Technical Skills:
  

• Core Languages: Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems (Bare-metal or RTOS) and Python for data analysis and automation.
  

• Hardware Interfacing: Hands-on experience with communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, USB) and peripheral integration (ADCs, DACs).
  

• Instrumentation: Expert use of laboratory equipment such as Optical Spectrum Analyzers (OSA), spectrometers, and electronic debugging tools (Oscilloscopes).
  

• Prototyping Tools: Familiarity with PCB design and testing environments; ability to read schematics and perform basic hardware troubleshooting.
  

• Knowledge of programming languages (e.g., Python, MATLAB) for digital signal processing/data acquisition and analysis is a plus.
  

• Problem-Solving Abilities: Strong analytical skills to troubleshoot and optimize complex systems.
  
• ​Teamwork and Communication: Ability to collaborate effectively in a multidisciplinary R&D environment and communicate technical findings clearly. A sense of ownership and pride in your performance and its impact on the company’s success.
