Electrical Engineer – Embedded Systems

Job Title

Electrical Engineer – Embedded Systems

Role Summary

Hands-on electrical engineer responsible for developing, testing, and integrating data-acquisition hardware and embedded systems for metal additive manufacturing. The role spans PCB hardware, embedded firmware, FPGA IP, and system-level integration to take electronic systems from prototype to production.

Position is based at Tailored Alloys in Evans, GA and works with a small engineering team focused on data acquisition and monitoring systems.

Experience Level

Mid-level. The posting does not specify explicit years-of-experience requirements.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include hardware, firmware, FPGA, and system integration tasks:

• Design, develop, test, and validate embedded data-acquisition systems.
• Design and troubleshoot analog, digital, and mixed-signal electronics; support PCB schematic development, layout, component selection, and bring-up.
• Develop embedded firmware and system software in C/C++ for control, data acquisition, diagnostics, and communication.
• Develop, modify, and integrate FPGA IP using Verilog, VHDL, or SystemVerilog and manage data flow between programmable logic, processors, peripherals, and external devices.
• Evaluate and integrate ADCs, sensors, peripherals, and other electronic components to meet system requirements.
• Develop and troubleshoot Ethernet-based and other hardware communication interfaces and real-time data streaming.
• Develop automated hardware test and diagnostic systems; support hardware bring-up and troubleshooting using standard lab equipment.
• Support full-system integration, testing, documentation, and cross-layer troubleshooting across hardware, firmware, APIs, and application software.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and practical experience:

• Practical experience developing, integrating, or troubleshooting embedded electronic systems.
• PCB design, layout, component selection, and hardware bring-up experience.
• Embedded software development in C/C++.
• Experience with FPGA-based systems and an understanding of FPGA development fundamentals.
• Ability to read electrical schematics and troubleshoot hardware using standard laboratory equipment.
• Experience integrating system peripherals and hardware interfaces; familiarity with Ethernet and network protocols.
• Familiarity with Git-based development workflows.
• Nice-to-have: experience with the AMD Xilinx ecosystem, high-throughput data acquisition, mixed-signal design involving ADCs and sensors, and automated hardware testing.

Education Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field (as stated in the posting).
