Experienced in * Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) * Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) * Preventative Maintenance (PDM /DFPDM) * Failure Mode & Effects Analysis (FMEA/DFMEA) * Experience in MCU development for larger embedded models (ARM/Embedded Linux) * Experience in RTOS development (FreeRTOS/Zepher, etc.). ## Description EM is seeking remote-hybrid Embedded Systems Engineer candidates under a performance- and results-driven contract-to-hire program to assist our current staff's project engineering bandwidth., As an Embedded Systems Engineer at EM, your general responsibilities vary project-by-project; however, they generally include, but are not limited to: Client Facing Operations * Project Intake & Statement of Work Documentation * Scope of Work Alignments * Project Handoffs * Project Quoting * Client Site Visits Designing turnkey engineering solutions to client-project pain-points/deliverables * End-to-End support: Concept through End of Life production * Integrating new technologies into novel solutions. * Managing product ecosystems and integrations. * Working in cross-functional teams. Validating design integrity, integrability, and quality * Virtual simulations such as System Load validation, Unit Testing & Integration Testing, etc. * Physical simulations such as Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL), Automated Test Framework Development, etc. * Integration testing into ecosystems and product lines Production Coordination & Project Management * Ensuring adherence to compliance, regulatory, and certifications * Coordinating production across project phases * Ensuring quality and project support as projects transition away from EM development., * Subject Matter Experts & independent consultants * Traditionally employed or freelance engineers seeking additional work * Engineers looking to take on more project responsibility and new challenges What this role is 1. High degree of project ownership with real-world impact * Most projects operate in smaller teams (3-5 engineers) where your contributions directly affect the outcome and success of the solutions developed. Your developments directly empower the solutions of tomorrow. Working within larger teams (50+) occasionally occurs, depending on the industry. 2. Requires innovative and quick iterative design * The nature of product design and engineering consulting often involves changing and incomplete requirements, where the volatility of R&D requires quick, innovative design and turnkey iterations to achieve project success. Time-to-Market is a prime concern of our clients. 3. Quality and detail-oriented * At EM, turnkey ecosystems are our bread and butter; ensuring developed solutions integrate seamlessly into their applications and are as simple as turning a key requires a high degree of attention to detail and quality. We do things right the first time. Who this role isn't for * New graduates * Candidates with large dependencies (requiring high workplace stability) * Vibe Coders/Heavily AI-centric developers What this role isn't 1. A slow-moving corporate engineering role * Project volatility changes rapidly, requiring immense flexibility. 2. A purely analytical/design-only position * This is a client-facing role where the application and integration are part of the responsibility. 3. A role where you wait for straightforward direction/push buttons * Product design and engineering consulting often involve vague and incomplete requirements, where the volatility of R&D exposes the quality of engineers quickly. ## Related Videos - [Are you still programming unit tests or already generating?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/722-are-you-still-programming-unit-tests-or-already-generating) - [Building Reliable Serverless Applications with AWS CDK and Testing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/812-building-reliable-serverless-applications-with-aws-cdk-and-testing) - [More efficient software for more efficient microchips](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1164-more-efficient-software-for-more-efficient-microchips) - [How Unit Testing Saved My Career](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1642-how-unit-testing-saved-my-career) - [Building the Right Product and Building It Right: A Glimpse into Extreme Programming, Atomic Design ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/398-building-the-right-product-and-building-it-right-a-glimpse-into-extreme-programming-atomic-design) - [Car's are Technology on Wheels - Impact of Software and IT Competence in Automotive](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/780-car-s-are-technology-on-wheels-impact-of-software-and-it-competence-in-automotive) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [What is Software Engineering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/289-what-is-software-engineering) - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated)
