As a Senior Staff Embedded Systems Engineer, you will turn emerging technologies into real, physical experiences - systems that can be felt, not just described. You will define architecture, build working solutions, and prove performance in the environments where it matters most.\nThis is a role for a hands-on leader who creates momentum through action, bringing Kohler’s vision for elevated daily rituals to life. Core Responsibilities Lead by doing. Define system requirements, design, build, test, and refine working hardware and firmware from first concept through validation, creating tangible wellness experiences that perform in the real world.\nDefine system architecture. Architect robust, end-to-end embedded systems that unify electronics, firmware, sensing, and controls with water, steam, thermal, lighting, and air. Establish scalable platforms that enable consistent, elevated experiences across products.\nEngineer systems that are felt. Design and develop integrated hardware (PCBAs, control systems, sensor networks, and electro-mechanical interfaces) that deliver comfort, precision, and reliability in demanding bathroom environments. Own electronics execution.\nLead schematic design, PCB layout, component strategy, and bring-up, driving hardware from concept into validated, production-ready systems. Design for real-world conditions. Create solutions that perform under heat, humidity, and water exposure, balancing durability, safety, and long-term reliability through strong engineering fundamentals.\nIntegrate firmware with intent. Ensure responsive, intuitive control, translating hardware capability into seamless user experience. Prototype the experience.\nBuild early and test often using hands-on iteration to validate not only function, but how the system restores, relaxes, and performs. Prove feasibility. Bring clarity to ambiguity, defining requirements, identifying risks, and validating solutions through structured testing, tolerance analysis, and costed execution plans.\nDrive manufacturability. Translate complex systems into scalable, buildable solutions aligned with supplier capability and production realities. Protect and create IP.\nDevelop hardware innovations that are both differentiated and defensible, strengthening Kohler’s leadership in wellness. Stay ahead. Continuously explore advancements in sensing, control, and environmental systems to inform what comes next.\nCommunicate with clarity. Deliver focused, technically grounded insights that accelerate decisions and de-risk execution. What Success Looks Like Embedded systems that don’t just function, but elevate daily ritual into meaningful wellness experiences Scalable platforms that bring consistency and differentiation across product lines First-to-market innovations that integrate seamlessly into real environments Patented technologies that define Kohler’s leadership in wellness","description_format":"text","description_chars":3076,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Electrical & Electronic Engineering"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-03T16:58:32Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":12,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.433,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":125,"expected_fill_days":39,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","velocity","win:tail","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-19T05:45:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/kohler-sr-staff-embedded-systems-engineer-wellness","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/kohler-sr-staff-embedded-systems-engineer-wellness.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-20T00:33:10Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":607,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-21T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1756392},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1756392"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fkohler-sr-staff-embedded-systems-engineer-wellness"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fkohler-sr-staff-embedded-systems-engineer-wellness"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fkohler-sr-staff-embedded-systems-engineer-wellness"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/kohler-sr-staff-embedded-systems-engineer-wellness\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fkohler-sr-staff-embedded-systems-engineer-wellness"}]}
