Very LLC is looking for a Lead Embedded Hardware Engineer to join our team. You will work closely with Software, Hardware, and Product Design teams to deliver full-service solutions for clients, owning hardware designs from early architecture through prototype validation and production readiness for connected devices.
What You'll Do
- Personally bring up, debug, and validate hardware prototypes.
- Design custom PCBAs from concept through production.
- Perform thorough electrical validation and troubleshooting.
- Use oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other diagnostic tools to debug and validate hardware designs.
- Ensure designs are production-ready before handoff to manufacturing.
- Architect the electrical sub-system on new IoT products.
- Interact with contract manufacturers to get your designs into mass production.
- Own hardware designs end-to-end, from early architecture through prototype validation and production readiness.
What We're Looking For
- Deep technical expertise in electrical system architecture, schematic design, and board-level development.
- Strong understanding of how electrical decisions impact manufacturability, reliability, and product performance.
- Experience translating business and product requirements into robust electrical designs.
- Experience collaborating in interdisciplinary teams.
- Experience supporting designs from early concept through production and scale.
- Ability to communicate effectively across disciplines, clearly presenting design decisions, tradeoffs, and risks to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Nice to Have
- Familiarity with embedded firmware environments (Bare Metal C, RTOS, or embedded Linux).
Technical Stack
- Embedded microcontrollers such as ARM Cortex platforms or ESP32.
- Embedded hardware interfaces and digital communication protocols (e.g., I2C, SPI, UART).
- Wireless communication hardware (Bluetooth, WiFi, cellular, subGig).
- AC and DC power, as well as battery power (including low power design for batteries).
Team & Environment
You will work closely with Software, Hardware, and Product Design teams in a collaborative, tight-knit culture.
Work Mode
This position operates in a local-country work mode and is open to candidates in Canada.
Very LLC is an equal opportunity employer.
