Embedded Systems Engineer
Resource Informatics Group, San Francisco, CA, United States
Job Description: Embedded Systems Engineer
Location: Santa Barbara, CA
Duration: 6 Months Contract to Hire
Key: Embedded systems design, microcontrollers/FPGAs, DACs, ADCs, amplifiers, and TIAs, protocols such as SPI and I2C
Role Overview:
The rapid evolution of data center technologies and AI computing demands robust and innovative optical communication solutions. As an Embedded Systems Engineer, you will play a crucial role in developing high-speed optical communication systems. Your role will focus on designing control systems, programming microcontrollers/FPGAs, interfacing with peripheral electronics, and overseeing PCB design to ensure seamless integration with photonic components.
Key Responsibilities:
• Design, develop, and validate embedded systems for high-speed optical communications, focusing on microcontroller/FPGA programming and peripheral electronics interfacing using protocols such as SPI and I2C.
• Collaborate with the Photonics team to ensure optimal integration of electronic and photonic components.
• Design or oversee the design of PCBs to ensure signal integrity and meet design specifications for power, cost, and dimensions.
• Lead efforts in commercial-grade product development in collaboration with external manufacturing partners.
• Provide technical leadership in firmware development, advocating for best practices in code quality, documentation, and version control.
Qualifications and Skills:
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, Photonics, or a related field.
• Minimum of 3 years of experience in embedded systems design, including proficiency with microcontrollers/FPGAs and interfacing with peripherals such as DACs, ADCs, amplifiers, and TIAs, using communication protocols such as SPI and I2C.
• Solid foundation in control engineering principles, particularly in feedback loops, system stability, and response optimization, critical for developing robust and efficient control systems.
• Basic PCB design experience/skills.
• Strong analytical skills, with a methodical approach to problem-solving and testing.
• Experience with high-speed optical communications and familiarity with photonic integrated circuits (PICs) is highly desirable.
• Excellent communication skills, capable of working closely with cross-functional teams and external partners.
