Overview
Embedded software is at the core of our scientific instrumentation, driving sophisticated electromechanical subsystems that deliver world-class material characterization in thermal analysis, rheology, and mechanical testing!
We are seeking a Senior Embedded Software / Systems Integration Engineer to contribute to the design, development, integration, and optimization of our instrument platforms. This role is ideal for an experienced engineer who combines a strong foundation in embedded systems with a systems-level mindset and a passion for solving complex technical challenges.
This role goes beyond traditional firmware development. Successful candidates will work at the intersection of embedded software, electronics, mechanics, controls, and scientific applications to deliver innovative instrumentation solutions. The engineer will take ownership of features and subsystems from concept through delivery, collaborate cross-functionally to drive architectural decisions, and apply strong analytical thinking to understand and resolve complex system behaviors.
We value engineers who enjoy learning new technologies, exploring unfamiliar problem spaces, asking thoughtful questions, and continuously expanding their technical expertise.
This is a full-time on-site position in New Castle, Delaware. We build physical products that interact with the physical world, and working directly with the systems is essential to their development and success!
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain embedded software systems for instrument platforms and related products.
- Lead the integration and validation of embedded software within complex electromechanical instrument systems.
- Collaborate across firmware, electrical, mechanical, systems, software, and applications engineering teams to deliver complete instrument solutions.
- Take ownership of features and subsystems from concept through architecture, implementation, integration, validation, and release.
- Investigate complex system behaviors and apply systems thinking and analytical problem-solving techniques to identify root causes and drive effective resolutions.
- Analyze interactions between software, electronics, sensors, motors, control systems, and mechanical subsystems to ensure reliable system performance.
- Provide technical guidance and support to junior engineers through code reviews, knowledge sharing, and mentoring.
- Continuously build expertise in new technologies, scientific domains, and instrument subsystems to improve product capabilities and development effectiveness.
- Challenge assumptions, ask thoughtful questions, and contribute to a culture of technical curiosity and continuous improvement.
