Boston Engineering seeks a Senior Electrical Engineer with strong experience in embedded systems hardware design, advanced motor control, and FPGA development. This role is hands-on and design-focused, responsible for architecting and delivering robust embedded and control solutions across a wide range of client products and mission-critical systems.

The ideal candidate brings depth in PCB design for embedded systems, field-oriented motor control (FOC), and FPGA development using Verilog, and is comfortable owning designs from concept through prototype, test, and production. You will work closely with mechanical, software, and systems engineers to develop integrated product solutions in a fast-paced consulting environment.

• Designing and developing embedded electronic hardware, including mixed-signal PCB design for control, sensing, and power electronics
• Architecting and implementing advanced control systems, including motor control algorithms such as FOC, PID control, feedback loops, and real-time sensor integration
• Designing motor drive electronics, power stages, gate drive circuitry, and current/position sensing for BLDC, PMSM, and related motor types
• Developing and debugging FPGA-based designs using Verilog, including interfaces, timing-critical logic, and hardware acceleration where appropriate
• Collaborating with firmware, FPGA, mechanical, and systems teams to integrate embedded electronics into larger product architectures
• Performing system-level bring-up, testing, debugging, and optimization of embedded hardware, control systems, and FPGA designs
• Working with embedded communication interfaces and protocols, including I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, and other industry-standard buses
• Developing and validating control algorithms through analysis, simulation, and hardware testing
• Producing clear and thorough technical documentation, including requirements, schematics, design reviews, test plans, and verification reports
• Ensuring designs meet applicable safety, EMC, regulatory, and quality requirements throughout the product development lifecycle.

• Minimum of seven plus years of professional experience in embedded electrical engineering, preferably in a product development or consulting environment
• Strong experience with PCB design for embedded systems, including schematic capture, layout oversight, component selection, and design for manufacturability
• Demonstrated experience designing and implementing motor control systems, including field-oriented control (FOC)
• Experience developing FPGA designs in Verilog, including simulation, synthesis, and hardware debug
• Proficiency in embedded C/C++ for microcontrollers and processors supporting real-time control and hardware interaction
• Experience with hardware/software/FPGA integration and debugging at the system level
• Familiarity with RTOS concepts and real-time embedded system constraints
• Strong understanding of power electronics, signal integrity, grounding, and EMI/EMC considerations

• Experience with robotics, electromechanical systems, or motion control applications
• Familiarity with…
