• Debug hardware and firmware using oscilloscopes, development tools, and laboratory equipment.
• Participate in new product development, testing, and validation.
• Troubleshoot existing products and support continuous improvement initiatives.
• Document code, participate in design reviews, and support products through manufacturing.

What We're Looking For

• Hands-on experience writing embedded C firmware for microcontroller-based systems is required.
• Strong understanding of microcontrollers, interrupts, timers, peripherals, and hardware interfaces.
• Experience developing and debugging bare-metal embedded firmware.
• Ability to troubleshoot interactions between firmware and electronic hardware.
• Comfortable explaining previous embedded projects, technical challenges, and solutions.
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience with new product development is strongly preferred.
• Experience with HVAC/R controls, industrial electronics, or similar products is a plus.

Early-career engineers with exceptional, directly relevant internship experience are encouraged to apply.

Compensation & Additional Details

• Competitive base salary of $85,000–$115,000, depending on experience.
• Full-time, permanent position with an established manufacturer.
• Collaborative, multidisciplinary engineering environment.
• Opportunity to contribute directly to new product development.
• Relocation reimbursement of up to $5,000 may be available for qualified candidates.
