Electrical Systems Engineer

Build the Future from Circuit to CodeThe best part of engineering is bringing something new to life—and making it work in the real world.At ChromoLogic, you'll take embedded products from an initial concept to a working prototype and through production readiness. You'll shape the architecture, design custom electronics, write firmware, and get hands-on at the bench to bring it all together.We're looking for a builder: someone who enjoys moving between a schematic, a firmware debugger, and an oscilloscope—and finds satisfaction in solving the problems that connect them.Why ChromoLogic?ChromoLogic LLC is an innovation and R&D company developing technologies for medical, aerospace, and security applications. Our work brings together electronics, embedded software, optics, sensors, communications, and mechanical systems.This isn't a narrowly defined design-support role.

You'll have meaningful ownership of the systems you develop, collaborate across disciplines, and help shape technical decisions from the start. Your work won't stop at a design review—you'll see it become a physical, testable, manufacturable product.Own the Design, from Requirements to RealityTranslate product requirements into practical system architectures and production-ready electronic designsCreate schematics and multilayer PCB layouts using Altium, KiCad, Eagle, or comparable EDA toolsSelect components with performance, availability, reliability, manufacturability, board space, and cost in mindWork closely with software, mechanical, optical, manufacturing, and product teams to make sound system-level tradeoffsBuild the Firmware That Makes It WorkDevelop, debug, and maintain embedded firmware in C/C++Implement bare-metal or RTOS-based architectures suited to the product's timing, reliability, and resource requirementsWork with microcontroller platforms such as ARM Cortex/STM32, AVR, PIC, or similar devicesIntegrate and validate interfaces such as BLE, CAN, SPI, I²C, UART, and USBBring Hardware to Life at the BenchAssemble and modify prototypes through SMD soldering, fine-pitch rework, wiring, cable crimping, and enclosure integrationLead board bring-up and troubleshoot interactions between hardware, firmware, sensors, power, and communicationsUse JTAG/SWD debuggers, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, and other lab equipment to investigate failures and verify performanceDevelop test procedures and validate designs under real operating conditionsHelp Turn Prototypes into Reliable ProductsCreate clear design documentation, firmware documentation, test procedures, and manufacturing packagesSupport prototype builds, design verification, supplier coordination, and production rampInvestigate field issues and turn what you learn into better designsWhat You'll BringA BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a closely related disciplineTypically, 5+ years of relevant experience spanning embedded hardware, firmware, PCB design, and prototype developmentExperience designing microcontroller-based electronics and writing C/C++ for resource-constrained systemsPractical PCB design skills, including stack-up planning, grounding, mixed-signal or high-speed layout, power integrity, EMC considerations, and design for manufacturingConfidence working at the bench: assembling prototypes, making modifications, probing signals, and methodically isolating problemsThe ability to explain technical decisions clearly and collaborate across engineering disciplinesYou don't need experience with every microcontroller, interface, or EDA tool listed here. We're most interested in strong fundamentals, demonstrated project ownership, and the ability to learn unfamiliar technologies and get them working.You'll Enjoy This Role If…You like understanding the whole system—not just your piece of itYou're equally comfortable writing firmware, routing a board, and picking up a soldering ironYou enjoy fast prototype iterations while keeping reliability and manufacturability in viewYou approach intermittent failures with curiosity, patience, and a structured troubleshooting processYou want your engineering decisions to have a direct, visible effect on the finished productWhat Makes This Opportunity DifferentEnd-to-end ownership: Follow your work from initial requirements through hardware, firmware, validation, and manufacturing supportCross-disciplinary challenges: Solve problems at the intersection of electronics, software, optics, sensors, and physical integrationRoom to experiment: Prototype quickly, test ideas, and help define the technical directionTangible results: Build systems you can hold, measure, improve, and see put to use
