Embedded Systems Engineer

Embedded Systems Engineer Salt Lake City, UT - onsite $130-160K/year About the Role We are seeking an Embedded Systems Engineer to help develop and evolve the embedded software and firmware for a next-generation hardware and sensing platform. This role focuses on integrating cameras, sensors, illumination systems, and other hardware components into a reliable, high-performance device. You will work across firmware, embedded Linux, hardware integration, and data acquisition, helping bring new capabilities from early prototypes through production deployment. The ideal candidate enjoys hands-on engineering, debugging complex hardware/software interactions, and building systems that operate reliably in real-world environments. Responsibilities + Design, develop, and maintain embedded software and firmware for a hardware-based sensing platform. + Develop device-side software to control cameras, sensors, illumination systems, and peripheral hardware. + Integrate hardware components using interfaces such as UART, I2C, SPI, GPIO, RS-485, CAN, and Modbus. + Develop and debug software running on embedded Linux systems. + Support hardware bring-up, prototype development, system integration, and troubleshooting. + Work with signal processing, image acquisition, and sensor data pipelines to ensure reliable data capture. + Diagnose issues involving hardware, firmware, drivers, communications, and system performance. + Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, software, and product engineering teams to deliver integrated solutions. + Improve

system reliability, performance, and maintainability as products transition from prototypes to production. Qualifications + 3+ years of experience in embedded systems engineering, firmware development, or a related discipline. + Strong programming experience in C or C++, with Python experience preferred. + Experience developing software for embedded Linux or Linux-based hardware platforms. + Familiarity with hardware communication protocols such as UART, I2C, SPI, GPIO, RS-485, CAN, or Modbus. + Experience with hardware integration, debugging, and laboratory testing. + Understanding of device drivers, peripheral control, and hardware/software interfaces. + Experience working with cameras, sensors, image acquisition, or signal processing is a plus. + Ability to troubleshoot complex technical problems across hardware and software boundaries. + Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work across multidisciplinary engineering teams. Preferred Qualifications + Experience bringing embedded products from prototype to production. + Familiarity with camera systems, optical sensors, or machine-vision hardware. + Experience with real-time systems, hardware timing, or synchronization of multiple devices. + Experience with automated testing, system diagnostics, and performance optimization. + Comfortable working in a hands-on engineering environment involving physical hardware and laboratory testing. _PrincePerelson & Associates is an Equal Opportunity Employer and complies with all provisions of the EEO and ADA laws.
