Hardware & System Integration Engineer

Description

A deep-tech startup building real-time vision intelligence systems, is looking for a hands-on Embedded Hardware & System Integration Engineer to join its team and help develop advanced electro-optical systems for real-world applications.

This role is focused on hardware and system integration-not algorithms or optics. We are looking for someone who enjoys working with sensors, cameras, interfaces, suppliers, debugging, and bringing complex systems from concept to a reliable product.

Responsibilities

• Select and evaluate hardware components for electro-optical systems.
• Analyze datasheets, ICDs, application notes, and technical specifications.
• Work directly with suppliers on technical evaluations, integration requirements, and component selection.
• Integrate cameras, sensors, and peripherals with embedded/edge computing platforms (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson).
• Support hardware bring-up, system integration, testing, and debugging.
• Troubleshoot issues related to hardware, power, communications, drivers, cabling, thermal performance, and system stability.
• Define and execute component-level and system-level validation tests.
• Maintain BOMs, wiring diagrams, integration documentation, and test procedures.
• Support transition from prototype to production and field deployment.

Requirements

Requirements

• Hands-on experience in embedded hardware, system integration, or related engineering roles.
• Experience integrating cameras, sensors, controllers, or electro-optical systems.
• Experience with NVIDIA Jetson or similar embedded/edge computing platforms.
• Familiarity with interfaces such as MIPI/CSI, USB, Ethernet, UART, I2C, SPI, GPIO, CAN, GMSL, or FPD-Link.
• Ability to read and interpret technical specifications and evaluate real-world feasibility.
• Experience working with hardware vendors and external suppliers.
• Good understanding of power systems, signal interfaces, grounding, and wiring.
• Strong lab, troubleshooting, and debugging capabilities.
• Self-driven, hands-on, and comfortable working in a startup environment.

Advantage

• Experience with EO/IR systems, thermal cameras, PTZ systems, or LRF.
• Experience with high-bandwidth camera interfaces.
• Background in defense, ruggedized, or field-deployed products.
• Familiarity with EMI/EMC, environmental or reliability testing.
• Experience with NPI, hardware validation, or production transfer processes.
