Embedded Systems Application & Integration Engineer - Mobility

Embedded Systems Integration Engineer at Gates Corporation

Gates is a leading manufacturer of application‑specific fluid power and power transmission solutions. We push the boundaries of material science to engineer solutions that continually exceed customer expectations.

We simplify complex systems – from belts and hoses used in motorcycles, conveyor belts, cars, tractors, blenders, vacuum cleaners, bicycles and 3‑D printers – to provide reliable performance in diverse applications.

Lead the integration of our drive control unit within diverse motor and sensor environments. This position bridges firmware and hardware: define how control, communication, and power interfaces come together into a reliable and cohesive system. Your work will focus on adapting firmware, defining wiring and harness specifications, and ensuring robust power and signal management across components.

• System Integration Strategy
  • Evaluate and select integration paths (e.g., CAN, UART, analog, or pulse‑based signals).
  • Define the architecture and communication flow between control units, sensors, and actuators.
  • Identify technical risks and propose integration or interface solutions.
• Firmware Development & Adaptation
  • Develop and maintain firmware branches to support new communication or hardware environments.
  • Implement and tune data acquisition, signal conditioning, and control logic interfaces.
  • Collaborate with software and validation teams to ensure consistent performance across versions.
• Electrical Interfaces & Harness Design
  • Define wiring and harness specifications, including connector types, pinouts, grounding, and shielding.
  • Ensure signal integrity and protection against noise, crosstalk, and EMI.
  • Work with suppliers or internal teams to validate harness prototypes and interface documentation.
• Power Supply & System Reliability
  • Analyze and validate power distribution across the system (voltage stability, current limits, startup behavior).
  • Identify and mitigate risks related to under voltage, transient events, or power sequencing.
  • Support the definition of protection circuitry and system safety measures.
• Hardware Compatibility & Testing
  • Verify interface compatibility with existing PCBs and identify required updates or new specifications.
  • Support integration and validation testing across prototypes and target environments.
  • Diagnose and resolve communication, signal, or power‑related integration issues.
• Documentation & Cross‑Functional Collaboration
  • Prepare and maintain integration documentation, interface specifications, and firmware release notes.
  • Collaborate closely with electronics, control, and testing engineers to ensure system coherence.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of integration methods and test procedures.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics, or Computer Engineering.
• 4+ years of experience in embedded systems development and integration for e‑mobility, automotive, or robotics.
• Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems (e.g., STM
  32, NXP, or similar MCUs).
• Strong understanding of DC power systems and electrical interfaces.
• Experience with CAN bus, UART, PWM, and analog sensor signals.
• Comfortable using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and power measurement tools.
• Ability to interpret wiring diagrams and schematics for integration purposes.

• Experience in motor control, sensor integration, or vehicle communication systems.
• Mandarin speaker is a plus.
• Familiarity with RTOS environments, bootloaders, or version management for embedded firmware.
• Knowledge of electrical safety, EMC/EMI practices.
• Exposure to system simulation or model‑based validation tools.
• Strong analytical mindset, structured documentation habits, and practical problem‑solving attitude.

You’ll play a pivotal role in ensuring that our next‑generation motion technology integrates seamlessly into a wide range of electric mobility systems. We offer a dynamic, engineering‑driven environment where firmware meets hardware, and where your work directly connects design intent with on‑the‑road performance.
