The Role
As our mechatronics expert, you will own the embedded control architecture of our hardware — from custom PCB design and industrial power systems through to the Linux application layer and IoT telemetry stack.
You will work across the full hardware-software boundary: designing production-grade boards, writing the firmware and application code that runs on them, and integrating everything with our physical fluid control systems. This is a hands-on role with genuine architectural ownership.
Key Responsibilities
- Embedded systems & PCB design: Design and bring up custom embedded boards for our core product lines — specifying SoMs or microcontrollers appropriate to the application, managing power distribution, I/O protection, and DFM readiness for external manufacturing partners.
- Application & firmware development: Write the software that runs on our hardware — control logic, state machines, sensor integration, and communication layers between physical I/O and the application layer.
- IoT & telemetry: Implement device-to-cloud communication enabling remote monitoring, configuration, and diagnostics across deployed units.
- Industrial power & electrical: Design the electrical stack for our enclosures — 3-phase AC distribution, VFD motor control, DC logic supply, and hardware-level safety interlocks. Wire and validate control cabinets to IP65/67 standards.
- R&D: Evaluate and prototype new hardware, sensing, and actuation technologies to keep our systems ahead of the curve.
What You Bring
Required
- 4+ years of hands-on experience in embedded systems, industrial automation, or hardware product development
- Demonstrated experience designing and bringing up custom PCBs — SoM-based designs, mixed-signal boards, or similar (Altium, KiCad, or equivalent)
- Proficiency in Python and/or C/C++ for embedded Linux and microcontroller targets
- Working knowledge of 3-phase power, VFDs, and industrial electrical — including hands-on cabinet wiring and troubleshooting
- Valid Taiwan work permit (visa sponsorship is not available)
- Professional proficiency in Mandarin Chinese and English
Bonus
- Experience with SoM or single-board-computer based product development
- Familiarity with industrial IoT protocols — MQTT, Modbus, RS-485, WebSockets
- Track record taking hardware from prototype through to manufacturing with external PCBA partners
- Experience designing microcontroller-based I/O layers alongside a Linux application layer
Compensation & Benefits
- Base salary — competitive, commensurate with experience
- Equity — eligible for our Employee Stock Option Plan (ESOP)
- Flexible time off — output-driven; leave is coordinated around milestones, not tracked by the day
- High autonomy — you will own the hardware platform architecture and have a direct hand in building the engineering organization
